    Overview

    Glove is an action-adventure game created in the style of the classic Gauntlet series. Navigate from room to room, blasting bad guys and collecting treasure along the way.

    Clear the rooms, gather treasure and get to the finish. There are many different paths to take, some more difficult, some more rewarding. Time is health: it drains the whole time you play, and running out ends the game.

    fuopy made it for the Arduboy in 2016. It has 30 rooms, and clearing every one of them unlocks a random mode that drops you into rooms in any order.

    Tips

    1. Spawners are the real threat: a room fills up fast if you leave them alone. Stand off and put 5 shots into each one before mopping up the bad guys.
    2. Bad guys only move every few frames and come straight at you, so backing away while firing keeps them from ever touching you.
    3. Every second costs health, so do not linger for treasure you cannot reach easily. A lemon is worth more than a chalice when you are running low.
    4. Hold two directions together while you press B to shoot diagonally, which helps with bad guys coming at an angle around walls.
    5. Exits look the same but lead to different rooms. When a room seems a dead end, try a different exit next time to find another route to the finish.
    6. If you stop partway through, Continue on the main menu starts you at the beginning of the room you were in, with the score and health you had when you entered it.

    Secrets

    Unlock random mode early

    With a save already made (after your first game), press Up 100 times on the title screen before pressing B. Every room is marked as cleared, and Options now offers Play Random.
