Starwhal is the commercial version of the prototype Starwhal: Game Jam Version / Just the Tip originally created in 48 hours for the January 2013 Global Game Jam. The basic premise is that up to four players locally each control a narwhal in an arena fighting with a tusk. Through short boosts the narwhals can move forward and they can also be steered left and right, but controls are quirky and ragdoll-like. The environment has a neon design with bright colours and it uses electronic eighties music. The narwhals are steered around and need to hit each other as jousts. In the Classic mode for instance the last remaining player wins. Each narwhal starts with five lives and one is lost when the tusk pierces the narwhal's heart. The game slows down when a tusk is about to pierce a heart.
