Sportsfriends - A Set of Four Party Games
Sportsfriends is a collection of four party games designed by Die Gute Fabrik for Play Station 4. BaraBariBall, Super Pole Riders, Hokra, and Johann Sebastian Joust are the four games in the collection.
BaraBariBall is a fighting game where the player has to keep the ball possessed by pushing off the opponents and jumping to throw it into their water space. Super Pole Riders is a game where the player operates a pole to keep the ball on the end of a zip line, which can be either pushed along or kicked. In Hokra, two teams compete against each other to possess the ball for the maximum amount of time and keep it in their team's territory. Johann Sebastian Joust is a game where players attempt to interfere with each other's controller manipulations by increasing the speed of the background music playing.
The game is designed with a retro-fashioned aesthetic and provides various forms of participation for 2-4 players. Johann Sebastian Joust is compatible only with Linux or Mac OS and is the most minimalistic variation of the game as it does not require a monitor and is non-graphic. Super Pole Riders is a sequel to Pole Riders, providing more options for ball control.
Overall, Sportsfriends is an excellent collection of party games that is sure to provide hours of entertainment for groups of friends.
