Gauntlet (itch) (FricativeMelon)

Like the classic video game, you will be running a gauntlet of challenges, but this time, it's a bit simpler. Historically "running the gauntlet" was a punishment where you walked through a literal path with men on both sides trying to hit you with weapons, and you'd be trying  to avoid their strikes and reach the end. This is the origin of the phrase in the first place, so bringing it back to the near-origin of gaming with Intellivision-style graphics seems fitting. Reach the end before losing all your lives and you've successfully "run the gauntlet"!

Inspired by and made for both the Intellivision Jam and the Uniquely Similar Jam.
