About

Blood Gauntlet is a fast-paced, arcade high score chaser 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!

le gameplay est hyper intéressant devoir rester en mouvement tout en perdant le moins de sang possible. En faite se qui est dommage ces le temp pour finir le jeux qui est très court . J'espère qu'ils vont rajouter d'autre niveau à l'avenir ou créer différent mode genre un mode scoring ou il faut avancer le plus loin possible parce que la sur le long terme le jeux n'a pas d'intérêt malheureusement.
5 minoot game
Super fun, fast paced game. Very interesting finding all the different directions you can play the game and maneuver through the levels. Amazing art and plays smooth! Can’t beat it for the price!
Estava usando 32gb de ram aqui no meu pc. Tem stutter pra caramba pra um jogo desse. Muito suspeito, muito estranho. Não recomendo.
El juego es interesante, tiene muy buenos gráficos, buenos controles, una jugabilidad agradable y la música es excelente. Pero todo esto se desvanece ante la duración del juego. En solo 6 minutos se puede pasar la partida y la idea de re jugarlo se pierde a la tercera o cuarta intento. Solo cuenta con 3 niveles que no demoran en pasarse y La dificultad no es muy alta . Al segundo intento ya has dominado gran parte de los enemigos. Es una pena por que el juego prometía pero al finalizarlo deja una sensación de insatisfacción. Espero que los desarrolladores con el tiempo incluyan más niveles y jefes, por que en su estado actual, esta aun muy crudo.
This is a very nostalgic game and feels like an old Nintendo or Sega Genesis game. It is very fast-paced and has a lot of fun action. I really like the art and music and the concept of the game is very unique. It also is very addicting to play. I would definitely recommend this. The ending is great!
Pros: Art style, speed, movement Cons: The game is 5 minutes long.
Um arroz com feijão bem-feito. A gameplay é simples, mas continua sendo boa e interessante. A variedade de inimigos não é ruim e, pelo preço que tá, eu recomendo. Não tem tanto conteúdo, mas eu não diria que isso é um grande problema. A mecânica de perder HP não é nova, mas ainda é interessante de ver. Dito tudo isso, Bom jogo simple and effective. I enjoyed playing, and for the price i paid for it, I'm satisfied with what i've gotten. the mechanic of losing HP over time is not new but it's still interesting to see. the monsters are fine, i personally like how they look and it's overall a competent game -Sorry for any spelling mistakes, my English is not that good.-
Pros: - Game is beautiful - Gameplay is smooth but challanging - Winning is farily easy, also for people not used to these genres - But winning with a GOOD Rank isn't - git gud! - Soundtrack is THA BOMB! Cons: - It really REALLY needs somewhat like 4-5 more maps/levels. This game is too good to be this short. - Might need some beautified UI's - Needs a "Close Game" button Overall: solid 9/10 for 2,99$ With more maps would pay 4,99
A retro three level score-attack title. Not really my type of game, but I respect the focus on mastery. Great art and game feel. I like the resource management of special attacks, and the fast platforming feels pretty good, although I do wish she fell a little faster. Overall, worth the price for a bit of fast-paced fun.
