I’ll admit, I laughed pretty hard not only at the absurdity, but for all the subtler jokes, too. Getting a small rise out of humiliating your friends Most curiously, the developers have promised a story-driven single player mode, which is almost too bizarre to contemplate.
PLAY GENITAL JOUSTING OFFLINE
The so-called offline is not only the most fun as you and your friends ridicule each other to their faces, but it’s more stable than attempting to find an online game. On the more technical side of things, it seems that right now the best way to enjoy Genital Jousting is with a friends on a local PC. Variations on hockey appear, as well as a game where players have to “eat” long, brown objects, the nature of which I’d rather not speculate about. Want something more meaningful? Try your hand at “Date Night”, where two players indulge in even more minigames as a couple, but with events like dog-walking and rose-picking added to the mix. These range from floating on top of a raft, to racing, to an all-out wrestling match inside a miniature boxing ring. The game includes an obligatory “party mode”, where players are placed into a selection of random scenarios. Fortunately, Genital Jousting has all manner of mini games to keep things somewhat fresh.

It’s way too funny to watch sentient genitals wrestle one another, but even the funniest penis jokes get old after a while. It’s all in order to score elusive points, and whoever scores the most will be a most upstanding player indeed. These psychedelic members slither and slip with reckless abandon, and it’s made all the more amusing with the gross sound effects and bright, happy color scheme. Contrary to instinct, you’ll control the base of your penis, not the head (I really never envisioned myself typing a sentence like that). This isn’t as simple as it may seem, as the penises have a somewhat unwieldy control scheme. The object is for two or more players (or up to eight) to attempt to penetrate the other’s anus, with various conditions and caveats attached. Not just any disembodied, autonomous, brightly-colored penis, mind you, but one with tight testicles and a small little anus at its base. So the game has players controlling a disembodied, autonomous, brightly-colored penis. Something like this was bound to be made eventually, and… well… I’m kinda glad I saw it in my lifetime. But what do you expect from a game named Genital Jousting? It’s the sort of thing most guys would have made in primary school if they had the time, money, and resources. I can’t believe I’m in my 30’s and laughing at penis jokes. It is of absolutely no surprise to man nor beast that the game is published by Devolver Digital.The party game genre has some stiff competition. Genital Jousting is available via Steam and Humble for around £5/$7, although it seems to be somewhat cheaper via Humble at present. While more structured than the likes of Goat Simulator, it does seem to fall into the broad genre definition of 'fumblecore'.

Plus, more thrusting of Tab A into Slot B. John must complete his morning routine eat, drink, go to the toilet, get to work, complete chores and eventually find love, all through the time-honored means of hurling physics-driven objects around a computer screen until things fall into place long enough to look like an adequate solution. You play as John, a penis in a world of penises. That said, the story mode seems to be an especially unusual addition to the package. It's easy to see how the game could be read as problematic (and due to its high tallywhacker quotient is already banned from Twitch), but the sheer absurdity of disembodied, anatomically baffling cocks hurling themselves at each other renders the experience more surreal than disturbing. The meat and potatoes of gameplay involves slinging your digital Johnson around the screen, attempting to thrust the tip of your wang into the testicular anuses of other players. Originally flopping on to early access as a purely multiplayer game, the long and short (although not very hard) of Genital Jousting has always been it's anarchic, competitive online challenge mode. What's less complex is that the game has left early access and properly launched, including a solo story mode, as unusual as that sounds.

It's a complex, thorny thing and one I'm not especially willing to deep-dive into. It feels a world away from the twirling phalluses of Mount Your Friends, with meat slapping against meat with uncanny gusto, accompanied by some quite unsettling Foley work.įree Lives realize this, to some degree, and have attempted to put fears to rest and defuse some difficult questions with an extensive Q&A. It's bizarrely visceral and meaty in a way that comedy schlongs rarely are.
