Escalancers
Escalancers is a local multiplayer game about medieval folk jousting inside a medieval shopping mall. Manually angle your lance towards the enemy while escalators carry you to your victory or defeat. Pounce at each other and try to strike from above, or simply fire from long range to take your opponent out early!
Initially prototyped over a weekend game jam, with the theme being ‘That escalated quickly‘. While we perhaps took the premise somewhat literally, we nevertheless came up with something that is both accessible and immediately enjoyable.
