Gauntenlet by Waave

made by Waave for LD27 (COMPO)

I felt rushed during this competition, I had to take a lot of breaks due to other conflicts. As a result, there is no music and the sound effects are not up to standard.

Press M to turn off all sound.

Enjoy the game! I made it sort of hard, and I know you all don't want to spend ages on every game, but I hope someone finds it fun enough to play to the end!

--EDIT--
Ironically I just discovered a bug that means you can't beat the game after your first try. I will fix it at some point in the future, no time in the next few days.

Ignoring the bug, it's an interesting game.

would like to fall faster, also I got into a bug, in the U lvl I got down, destroyed a wall by mistake and got stuck there

Would be nice to have more checkpoints between harder rooms. It does get quite annoying when playing two or three rooms in a row. Otherwise, nice game.

This game was pretty cool, very fun and showed the theme well. It was solid, tight, and very capable of being one of my favorite entries yet.
Until that one level where you had to avoid the walls. 4/5 overall.

My apologies, playing Dark Souls does things to people ;)

Neat game! Specially considering you didn't have all the time available to you. Good job, i liked the visuals and although the controls could be a little tighter it's not like the game's unplayable or anything. Bugs aside, good game!

Reminds me of the C64. I really enjoy retro games. Nice work!

I really like it, and I don't think it's too hard. At least the first few levels (not sure how many there are - I couldn't get past the falling-through-the-ground one since there was no "coin" and in the end I was set back to an earlier level every time). I'm quite impressed by the graphical style, it looks very nice and fleshed-out and there's much more detail than I'd expect by such a game.

Love the audio style, the graphics, and the smoothness of the jumping animation. Great presentation! The illusionary blocks and changing mechanics were cool too. Bugs notwithstanding, I very much enjoyed this. Thanks for putting it together!

Cool platformer! It gets quite challenging towards the end. :)
