Squire, Fetch My Lance! by SalamiChild

made by SalamiChild for LD 44 (COMPO)

"Squire, Fetch My Lance!" is a mostly-text-based micro-RPG, where you to the tilts in order to win fame and fortune!... well, mostly fortune. Use your gold to gain insight into your opponents, or even skip tough-looking knight entirely, but remember, you're only as good as your coin-purse is heavy, so be a little cautious with your winnings.

You can take on a randomised character, or design one yourself. Generally speaking, having better attributes gives your less gold starting out; your might be able to best lesser jousters, but find yourself short on coin when your dearly need it.

The tournament attracts would-be winners from all across the land. Take heed to what your squire says about your opponent before each bout; it may just give you a key piece of information. Some knights, however, are just destined for greatness - either pay to skip them, or wager little (or nothing at all), and take a loss. One defeat isn't the end of the world, after all.

The jousting lasts for 10 rounds - aim to have as much gold as you can by then!
