blood-gauntlet

Blood Gauntlet is a fast-paced, pixel art action platformer where you’re constantly bleeding out. The only way to survive is to keep moving and destroy everything in your path. Slash through enemies, smash the environment for blood, and race through 3 levels to reach the final boss. Perfect your runs, earn top ranks, and unlock Extreme Mode—where every mistake is harshly punished. Featuring an intense original soundtrack composed by Mark Allnutt included free with purchase! Plays great on the Steam Deck too! Let’s talk about Extreme Mode! Once you’ve earned an S rank in the Gauntlet, you’ll unlock Extreme Mode—the developer’s original vision for the game. Blood loss is severe, platforming is much more difficult, enemies are everywhere, and new enemy types await! Not only do your platforming and combat skills need to be nearly perfect, but you must also manage your special abilities wisely and find the best routes through the gauntlet. This mode is extremely challenging, but a lot of fun! The ultimate achievement—earning an SS rank in Extreme Mode without getting hit—awaits. Are you up for the challenge? Blood Gauntlet features pixel art from Ansimuz, music composed by Mark Allnutt, trailer creation by Illia “ILAN-IB13” Bohovarov, capsule art by Mariia Masliana, and additional pixel art by Dara Caza. Thank you guys so much! Also, a huge thanks to my brother, Rich LaCroix for play testing and support!
