smartBean··on Show HN: Beakdown – a game inspired by Joust/Skirmish
I spent many hours playing Joust/Skirmish with my brother on our BBC B. This is a very nice interpretation. The mobile controls are good. One tiny nitpick, and to be honest I don’t know how you’d solve this for mobile, is that on the original you had 3 controls - left, right and flap. On this version there is just flap left and flap right, which completely makes sense for mobile. I miss the ability to hover though, which with the direction agnostic flap on the original you can do, it not on this one. Apart from that, great.
