Shiny Gauntlet is a Dungeon Hack n Slash, Bullet Hell, Rogue-Lite Adventure.
Select your champion and explore the Gauntlet. Collect weapons, enchanted rings, bottle and/or consume the mysterious remains of defeated foes, all the while chasing the Wily Cultist who has stolen your Shiny Shard!
Shiny Gauntlet started as a project to replicate, combine and improve on the type of games that Glen Henry enjoyed most: rogue-likes, dungeon exploration and legend of zelda. He gathered a group of friends and pieced together a rough design spec (see here).
Eventually the project grew into an attempt to prove to himself and a few local developers, the advantages of an open development process and has become one of the shining indie gems of the Caribbean.
- Fight your way through a randomly generated death labyrinth!
- 20 playable classes!
- 60 enchanted rings!
- Bottle the remains of your foes and consume them later for powerups (if you're into that sort of thing).
- A really SHINY shard!
