Very satisfying game! I included it in my LowRezJam compilation, if you’d like to take a look :)

Really great effort, you've done good to replicate the feel of gauntlet in 64x64 rez. Very hard though!

50 yd. Fight!!interesting concept. I like the graphics too.
Overall I think the game need some tweaks to be more balanced. The crowded enemies is an interesting idea but it's kinda tricky to kill them before they come (maybe it's intended, like you have to be more strategical but if so, I think either you need to go faster or they need to be slower so that would allow you to fallback more easily / avoid them / etc).
there is also some physics glitch like some can traverse walls, bullet hit wall even you are too close to a wall. Also the AI of enemies is pretty basic.
cheers

MEMO CARTI like the bit of music at the start and the graphics look pretty nice, too.
I couldn't make it very far, though - there's way too many enemies. I would have preferred it if there were less enemies and a bit more enemy variation.

Asteroid OmicronNice, it brings me back memories. Unfortunately I have never been good in playing this game even if I loved it.
It will always be a dream for me to play it properly but I enjoyed to see a revival of the game :-)
Well done!

64x64 ill-fatedI have fond memories of it too, I remember seeing the machine for the first time in the Arcades when it came out as a kid. I did play it a bit back then, but mostly watched other people fill the machine with money :) It was quite a unique cab design. The Arcade version good, but its designed to take your money, a better overall game would be Gauntlet4 on the Megadrive/Genesis.
