Fight your way out of a planet prison in this 2D roguelite hand-drawn platformer!
You've been captured and sent to entertain aliens as a gladiator in a faraway planet called Tartarus. You will have to advance through a randomly generated cave with deadly traps and monsters blocking your path. Choose your opponents in the arenas, beat them for items and coins and you might be able to earn your freedom!
Features
Tight and fluid controls that allow you to dodge and fight enemies without taking hits - the only ceiling is your own skillset!
Dozens of hand-crafted rooms that are randomly picked to make every new run feel unique.
10 enemies and 3 bosses to beat with different movesets and attack patterns.
100+ items including weapons and trinkets that unlock new abilities for your character.
3 characters that fit different playstyles.
15+ perks to unlock by completing challenges, used to customize your characters as they gain experience.
This game is in development. The current release is a free demo which includes one level. The full game will have more content and features and will probably be released later this year.
FAQ
Can I use a controller? Yes. You can play the game either with a keyboard or an xbox 360 controller. Other controllers may work, but you might have to use x360ce to configure them as an xbox 360 controller.
I am experiencing low framerates, what do I do? First, go to the ingame video settings ("Settings" => "Video") and lower everything, especially the "Details" option. You can also lower the resolution (try to keep the same aspect ratio to eliminate black bars). If you're playing on a laptop, try switching the game to your computer's dedicated GPU. If the low framerates are sporadic, alt-tabbing when it happens might solve the problem.
Can I play on Mac or Linux? No. It only works on Windows for now.

What's next for Space Gladiators? I have posted the early demo version here on GameJolt and Itch a few weeks ago. The feedback have been very valuable and seeing people play the game has been very enjoyable! I have now started working on the full game.
Update 0.2.3 is now live!
Today's update fixes a few bugs, most notably a crash that could happen in some very specific situations. Some polish, graphical corrections and balance changes have also been made.
