PoleRiders

Pole Riders is a pole-vaulting polo game for two players only.

It’s a bit silly, this game, but then again so are all of my games, so that’s ok.

Play it online for free.

    you should make a multiplayer jousting game. but not a remake of “joust”

    I can play without a friend. I can also use both hands to play this game.

    Love the game.

    Some needed improvements:
    1.) Stalemates where the two people are stuck together with the ball between there sticks are really annoying, cause the situation will ALWAYS end worse for the person that ends the stalemate. When this happens there should be a easy way to kill the other person or both should die or something.
    2.) You can stand by your goal and just block it with your stick, if they move to try and kill you you can just run with it.
    3.) Again, more ways to kill people such as stabbing them.

    Also a low gravity mode would be cool. I really like the SPLIT screen system.

    The game is fun, but the multiplayer isn’t fair. The player on the left is far weaker than the player on the right.

    You can try this by starting a multiplayer game by yourself, and controlling both players. Line them up a pole’s length away from each other (their poles will be close to touching) and simultaneously push S,D, left, and down. The player on the right will always get higher than the player on the left.

    When we play, we always fight for the right side, because they have such a huge advantage over the left side.

    Fix it, so we can have fair matches!

    Hello dear developers,

    Do you have any good solution for being able to play this game without having to sit at the same computer? I was trying to find a way that doesn’t interfere with your copyright.

      nope, sorry. Get into a room with your friends!

      If you have a controller or two, use joy2key and set controller 1 to WASD and controller 2 to the arrows. I also recommend mirroring the dpad inputs onto the face buttons as well. I like to use the dpad for left/right and the buttons for up/down. Or if you only have one controller, someone can just use the keyboard. I’m playing with two controllers with friends (also with the display on my tv), and it’s a total blast

    WOW, I CAN’T OVERSTATE HOW MUCH I ENJOY THIS GAME. FANTASTIC COHESIVE AESTHETIC, FUN SOUNDS, fantastic emergent GAME-PLAY, and once again, perfect(hilarious) physics. I’ve been following your games since I played QWOP, and have bonded with classmates and my litte brother over qwop, girp, and now pole riders. thanks for PURSUING your hobby with such passion, intellect, and attention to detail, you create great things.

    In the training of poleriders, when we try to get over the house (when we get on top of it, the stick revolutionizes and throws us off the house) we keep falling off!!!!! SO FREAKIN ANNOYING!!! CAN U FIX PLZ?

    First of all good work on all the games you’ve created. Poleriders is by far the best in my opinion, nice use of the poles in multiplayer.

    If your ever thinking about making new game modes, how about; 2 player race, an obstacle course with increased difficulty the further you get, 2 player co-op me and my little brother like throwing each other around when we stand on each others poles so some sort of puzzle obstacle course would be nice.

    I haven’t found any bugs or glitches and most other peoples problems here seem to be from a lack of skill :P Don’t change a thing. Keep up the amazing work!

    dude the games you hae are cool and all but you need more games.plese make it possible.(this message is especially for bonnete)

  • RiftNinja

    This game is great, really fun! ^-^
    lol

    A suggestion:
    I think if you changed it so that rather than being able to drag the ball with your pole upright, you could only nudge it and the pole bounces off after pushing it a bit, that would eliminates the stalemates and make kicking more important
    or
    maybe have it so you are pushed backwards when you use your pole to push against the ball?
    Something like that :P

  • jill

    i think qwop is better

  • Solace

    I love how important physics are to the movement, but I wish the pole controls were rotate clockwise/counterclockwise instead of up/down.
