How it feels
A chaotic physics-based joust-'em-up where pole-vaulting with a spear is the key to climbing, combat, and puzzles.

What players say
Players compare Happenlance to Getting Over It but find it less punishing thanks to checkpoints and fairer physics. The 13-level campaign includes co-op and PvP modes, along with New Game+ and New Game- for replay. While some call it frustrating, many say overcoming its obstacles is deeply satisfying.
