Our take on Balancelot
Players may bounce off when balancing the unicycle becomes the central challenge, especially while trying to thrust at monsters. Those expecting jousting on horseback may hit a wall at the basic premise: this squire makes the journey and enters the tournament on a unicycle.
What is Balancelot?
Balancelot follows a poor squire who sets out to enter a kingdom’s jousting tournament without a horse, using a unicycle instead.
Players control the rider with a keyboard or controller, balancing across medieval settings and thrusting at mythical monsters with a lance. The game has over 20 challenging levels, with environments ranging from fairy grasslands to dark dungeons. The vendor warns that climbing over defeated enemies with the unicycle may be the rider’s last climb. In-game cutscenes carry the story forward during the journey.
