Draw Joust is a game that combines drawing mechanics with vehicle combat. The player creates a vehicle by drawing its frame, attaching weapons, and placing a driver. Once the design is complete, the vehicle enters a battle against an opponent. The outcome depends on how well the design handles movement, balance, and attack range. Each victory allows progress through different levels, while losses provide opportunities to redesign and improve the construction.
Vehicle Design And Customization
The core mechanic of Draw Joust revolves around sketching the structure of a vehicle. Players can draw any shape or frame, and the game automatically transforms it into a drivable design with wheels and joints. The drawn vehicle can then be equipped with a range of weapons, such as spears, axes, or cannons. Choosing the right combination of frame design and weapon placement is essential for building a competitive machine that can withstand enemy attacks.
Combat Mechanics
After designing the vehicle, players send it into battle. The combat is automated, with both vehicles colliding, attacking, and reacting to physics-based impacts. The player observes how the design performs, then adjusts the next version based on weaknesses revealed during the fight. Balance, speed, and weapon reach all influence the result. This process encourages experimentation, as different shapes and setups lead to unique battle outcomes.
The main elements of gameplay can be described as:
· Drawing a vehicle frame
· Equipping weapons and armor
· Sending the design into battle
· Observing performance and weaknesses
· Redesigning for improved results
Progression And Challenges
Draw Joust is structured around levels that become more difficult as the player advances. Each opponent introduces new types of vehicle designs and weapon combinations, forcing adaptation. Players must constantly refine their approach by learning from each encounter. The challenge is in designing a strong vehicle and in creating one that works well in different terrains and against a variety of enemies.
Long-Term Engagement
As players progress, they unlock new weapons and tools that expand the possibilities of vehicle construction. This creates an ongoing cycle of design, testing, and improvement. The game maintains interest by encouraging creativity and by presenting continuous challenges that require problem-solving. Over time, each player develops unique strategies and preferred design styles, making every playthrough a different experience.
