Piste Duel
Piste Duel is a two player fencing game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for two players on one device, or one player against a bot.
Side-view fencing on a narrow strip: step forward and back, lunge, and parry an attack as it comes. When both blades land within a quarter of a second, the fencer who started attacking first takes the point. Every step back pulls your own end line in, and crossing it gives your rival the touch; the first to five touches wins the bout.
How to play
- Step forward toward your rival with D or the Right arrowOn a touch screen: Tap the forward arrow to step toward your rival
- When you are close, lunge with W, the Up arrow or SpaceOn a touch screen: When you are close, tap Lunge
- When their arm draws back, press Back to parry: A or the Left arrowOn a touch screen: When their arm draws back, tap the back arrow to parry
- If you both hit, the first to attack scores. Stepping back pulls your end line in
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Left fencer: D forward, A back or parry, W lunge
- Right fencer: Left arrow forward, Right arrow back or parry, Up arrow lunge
- Against the bot also arrows and Space
- On a phone: the buttons in your half
Tips
- A lunge threatens from 3.3 metres; attack as your rival steps forward, because an advancing fencer cannot parry, and never lunge short.
- Press Back as their sword arm draws back: the parry lasts 0.32 seconds, and a parried rival is open while your riposte winds up in 0.08 seconds.
- Each retreat costs a metre of room because your end line follows you in: four steps back are safe, and the fifth crosses the line.
What happens when both fencers hit?
If the second blade lands within 0.25 seconds of the first, it is a double touch and the fencer who began the attack first takes the point. A numbered marker over each attacker shows who went first. Two attacks started at the very same moment count as together, with no point.
Can two people play Piste Duel on one phone?
Yes. In two-player mode each fencer has three buttons in their own half of the screen: back, forward and Lunge. On a keyboard the left fencer uses D, A and W, and the right fencer uses the Left, Right and Up arrows. Pick the mode with the arrows on the start card.
