Near-Field Gladiator

The spotlight shines on you as you enter the neon arena. You are armed solely with a magnet that attracts the huge spinning sword, the Maglaive, that has its own individual spotlight. You see a third light highlight a hostile looking bot, but you know there are more in the darkness. You are the Near-Field Gladiator and it’s time to set a new highscore.

W/A/S/D to move, left click to pull the Maglaive towards you. Only the closest enemy to you will have a spotlight on them. Try to see how long you survive - rumor has it that no gladiator has lived to see the arena's ultimate challenge...

NearField Gladiator was made in 24 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2019 and was programmed by Max Fortna and Andrew Knollmeyer with art and music by Peter Zurawsky.
