Gauntlet Swipe: The Lost Relics
"YOUR LIFE FORCE IS RUNNING OUT!"
Inspired by the frantic arcade energy of the SNES era, Gauntlet Swipe distills the classic dungeon crawler into a tactile, high-speed mobile-friendly experience.
THE STORY You are the last of the Great Delvers. Your mission: navigate the rooms of the Stone Entry to recover 10 legendary artifacts. But beware—the deeper you go, the faster the monsters strike.
FEATURES
- Tactile Arcade Combat: No clunky virtual joysticks. Swipe to attack, dodge or collect.
- Exploration: Find keys to unlock themed rooms—from the slithering Snake Pit to the mechanical Tech Vault.
- Dynamic Difficulty: A unique "Tell" system that scales with your level. Master the rhythm of each beast to survive. Be careful, as a low level you might find some enemies too strong or too fast - pay attention to the doors you are opening.
- 10 Unique Relics: Can you find the Golden Bell, the Space Rocket, and the legendary Ring before your life force fades?
- Retro Aesthetics: Created using the exclusive Toy Box Jam 2025 asset set for a pure 16-bit experience.
HOW TO PLAY
- Swipe : Attack Vulnerable enemies (Blue Flash), Dodge (Red Flash) or Collect Items (White). Pay attention to the arrow animation on top of the card
- WASD/Arrows: Also works for the Desktop players :D.
- The Clock is Ticking: Every second your health drains. Kill monsters and find potions to stay alive!
