One of the best games i've rated so far, it has pretty good graphics and a simple yet smooth gameplay, congrats!, i would love if you could rate our game too :)
Thank you - it was definitely fun to make! of course we will rate yours😁
Thanks :)
The visuals are top notch on this one! i really love the look of the lava, assuming its a shader?
Thank you! Yeah I created it using unity's shadergraph! Also had another shader on the platforms to make them red hot coming out of the lava and then cool down over time😁 I can share them if you want?
im not using Unity currently, plus its a challenge to me to see if i can do it as well. DEFINITELY appreciate youre willingness to share and enrich the dev community!
This game is pretty hard, but you made the concept of "If you stop you die" pretty fun! Especially with the falling platforms.
Music was pretty nice as well! Pretty simple, but did its job.
I really liked the art and little story you included with the robots. Really cute!
Thanks for the kind word! Yeah it is pretty challenging, we probably should have lessened the difficulty a bit but difficulty tuning is always hard when the developers are the ones playtesting it ahaha
If you're determined enough you can do it though! Each level is only 30 seconds and if you die there are checkpoints ^^
Really fun, and love that you die if you have self-awareness XD. The art is great, and the music is good. Good job
Haha thank you! Glad somebody noticed my brief attempt at terrible writing ;)
Nice game, fun and original :)
Great game, it is one of my favorites so far, I really enjoyed playing it, it would be great if you make this multiplayer.
Thanks for the kind words - multiplayer sounds like it could be fun! we're definitely going to polish it off and add a few more levels/ease the learning curve and then see where we can go from there ^^
Nice ideas, I will follow you for more futures updates, sounds like fun.
nice visuals you got there
Very fun game, It took me a good number of attempts to complete the 3rd stage but it was so satisfying when I did :p
Thank you and congrats on completing the game! We felt we could make each level a challenge as we implemented checkpoints, but even we struggled ourselves to finish level 3 during playtesting, earlier versions of it were impossible😂
Hi! I'll be playing The Gauntlet tomorrow on stream along with several others games from the jam at 3:30pm EST. I'll be talking about any interesting design decisions as I play, and suggesting improvements if any come to mind. Please feel free to join me live, it'll be extra fun to chat together about your game while playing it :)
Sorry I couldn't make it, I was working late today, I did check out your stream afterwards and it was a lot of fun! thanks for the kind words and sorry the game is so punishing ahaha - and yes we will definitely get more sleep next time ^^
Here's the segment where I played your game! As I mentioned in the stream your game is already a super-polished experience, you should seriously consider adding a bunch of levels and selling it! Thanks for checking out the stream, and be sure to take good care of yourself when developing. Keep up the good work :)
I really liked the visuals on this one! Keep it up
Thank you! Was the first time I tried out post-processing and creating my own shaders so I'm pretty glad with how it ended up
When you thought you could stop playing Fall Guys, this comes along :D. Nice game!
Haha thank you! The characters are kind of bean-ish now that you mention it 😁
Nice game! Sounds, arts, idea is very good.My only complain is camera angles I really wanted to see myself behind blocks :D. Good job.
Thank you! Yeah we experimented with different camera angles but it felt more natural just having the fixed one (Also means we only had to model a portion of the background instead of the whole thing😁) I would have liked to include a shader that let you see through any objects you were behind, but time constraints 😬
This way it is quite good no need to think about it :D
Solid game. Lot's of polish. Maybe could be a bit better by tweaking the gameplay (jump distance, moving around corners) but very good overall.
Thank you! Yeah, we will deffinitely change the mechanics a bit for the next update after we clean our spaghet code made during the jam :P
Wow! Awesome! Control, visual, sound!
Remark, I think player should run on one line, not touching other, because sometimes I hit neighbor line and floor is falling and this crush all my tactics! :D
Great work!
Thank you so much :D I guess this was by design so that you don't run on the edge and the game is harder, but we probably overtuned it a little!
Nice game, I liked the smiley and sad faces :-)
Very cool, took me a minute to get the hang of it but once you get going it's very fun!
Glad you liked it! Haha yeah it is a bit challenging, but there's checkpoints after each level and they're relatively short so there's no rush😉
This Is Fantastic! I had a similar idea with the falling platforms which we didnt end up doing but im glad we didnt as this was executed better than i could have even hoped. I hope this wins cause it deserves it! Good Job!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah the platform's took ages to get right and were the cause of like 90% of our bugs but sometimes stubbornness pays off haha
