It's a shame that jousting isn't a common sport any more but it's understandable. It's pretty dangerous.

That won't be a problem in the future though, because we'll all be jousting with jetpacks instead.

That's if Jetpack Joust is anything to go by - which it really isn't.

It looks like a pretty fun game though. You endlessly fly upwards, shoving a pointy stick into other endlessly jetpacking jousters.

You can also land on their heads Super Mario style and collect coins that fall from their limp bodies.

Be careful you don't get hit yourself as that will deplete your fuel levels and send you plummeting the ground. You can collect more from fuel canisters that are scattered all over the place. Handy.

An electrified fence is another threat. Don't fly into it, it hurts.

It's also very pretty in an oldschool pixelated way, and is headed to a iOS and Android near you soon.
