Enter the Hyper Gauntlet, an adrenaline infused manic dodge-em-up arena of high-speed obstacles and twitch reaction. Hurtle ever forwards through gaps between blue and red obstacles. With each obstacle passed your score increases, but so does your speed! Use the tactical slow motion to postpone the inevitable and rack up the high score.

Do you have what it takes? The Hyper Gauntlet awaits.

Features:

  • Hurtle at whiplash speeds through a never-ending gauntlet of shiny blocks.
  • Boost your score with reckless runs and life-saving power ups
  • Compete against the world for the highest score
  • "Just. One. More. Go." replayability

Alpha Reviews:
It's the sort of thing you don't stop playing until long after your day's responsibilities have rotted or left you a series of very angry text messages. And then after that, it sits in the back of your skull, screaming to the forefront every time you blink, colorful squares rushing by behind your eyelids like midnight traffic.
Nathan Grayson, Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Give Hyper Gauntlet 10 seconds of your time, and if you're not gripped by then, fair enough, move on with your life. Otherwise, welcome to the leaderboards!
Chris Priestman, Indie Statik

My evening's been lost to this reflex-based tunnel-racer.

You guys did a stellar job on making a simple yet difficult game. A title screen with some gameplay would help a person prepare for what's ahead,but the lack of a title screen was the only weak thing i found in this title.
Good Job,Guys :D

Did a "First Impressions" on it. Basically saying the same.
