The GAUNTLET

The GAUNTLET is a fast paced action game where you, a loyal robot, must pass a series of challenges to appease your computer overlord.

Run, Jump and avoid a plethora of deadly traps, including exploding robots, falling platforms, laser emitters and plasma cannons as you die over and over again trying to complete a series of 5 challenges.

Making the game:

The original version of this game was made in just under 72 hours (with very little sleep) for the GameDev Insiders Jam #1. The theme was 'If you stop, you die'.

After the game jam, we worked on polishing the game off and adding some new content to bring you V1.0 of THE GAUNTLET!
