About Eagle Joust

Ride a harpy eagle above a storm. Flap to gain height, steer between floating ledges and meet rival riders from above: when two lances collide, the higher one wins.

How to play

Goal
Unseat every raider in the sky and gather every egg before it hatches.
How it ends
The sky is cleared when no raider, egg or hatchling is left; the run is lost when the last of three lives is lost to a higher lance, the Wyrm or the storm below.
Record
For every sky, the ten best scores and the ten fastest clears, each proved by replaying the run.
  1. Tap Space, ↑ or W (or the Flap button) to flap: each tap is one wingbeat. Hold ← → or A D (or ◀ ▶) to steer.
  2. Meet a raider with your lance higher than its lance to unseat it; level lances bounce, a lower one costs you a life.
  3. Gather every egg before it hatches, keep clear of the storm below, and meet the Wyrm's open beak or keep away from it.
