JOUST · CHALLENGE OF 2026-11-08

HOW THE DAY WENT

Sunday, November 8 brought JOUST, at level 5, and 4 people played.

ELVIS TECK won with 1,425 points; ADRIAN finished 350 behind. GLITCH COMETA rounds out the podium with 900.

THE SCREEN

Clearing the first screen leads on to the rest, in an order that depends on the day. The same seed for everyone: the same enemies and pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

It comes from Sousa's operetta of the same name, premiered in 1896; the march joins two of its tunes.

Public domain, as square- and triangle-wave chiptune.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

You fly an ostrich by flapping: each press is one flap, not continuous flight. Collisions with enemy riders are settled by height — whoever comes in from above wins.

• Scoring is flat, with no wave multiplier. Surviving pays, but it doesn't explode: an exceptional run lands around 17,000, comparable to the rest of the arcade.
