Unicycle Samurai is a bloody yet light-hearted, local 2-player jousting game
built around outmaneuvering your opponent and
collecting powerups.
Unicycle Samurai has a two-player alternative controls version where you control the game by shifting your weight on a unicycle seat and tapping pedals with your feet.
Unicycle Samurai's alt controls version has the honor of being selected for
alt.ctrl.GDC,
the Alternative Controls Showcase at the Game Developers' Conference in San Francisco March 22-24, 2023. Read more:

Unicycle Samurai was developed by a team of graduate and undergraduate students in MSU's Game Design program. Preproduction was done by a team of four over two 4-week projects in MI 455 Game Design & Development II, then a team of seven in MI 497 Game Design Studio produced the game over the course of a 15-week semester, with help from three other individuals outside the class team.
