About
In Trials of the Gauntlet, You wake up in the courtyard of a Steampunk mansion, your arm replaced with an electric grappling hook. You use your new arm to solve puzzles, traverse the mansion and fight your way to the top of the clock tower where you confront the mad scientist who did this to you. Along your way, you uncover the story as to what's really happening in this mysterious mansion.

Broken Dinosaur Studios is an indie team of student game developers, designers, artists, musicians and creative writers, some of which, currently attending Full Sail University. "Trails of the Gauntlet" was our mid-term project and took 3 months from concept to completion.
We all learned a ton from working on this project; especially about working in a group. Our scope was ambitious but we made it happen! As we continue our accelerated degree programs at Full Sail, we will likely put any spare time we have into future projects. For that reason, please consider this project complete and see past the "known-shippable" bugs if and when you find them.
Thank you all for your continued support!
P.S. Steam Achievements and Trading Cards coming eventually! pls don't hold your breath, but it will most likely, probably happen at some point in the future! (after graduation)
Love,

First Of all, high Praise to set up the Game in just 3 Months. I really like the Pixel Graphics. Even if here and there sometimes the Walls are a bit bleak. But that's still going full well.
I would have liked more creepy Music for the Atmosphere. But that's probably a Matter Of taste. The Story about Nikola Tesla, which is told through the Books, is felled. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Find it doesn't go so well. But that may be Exercise Thing. Until the Final Boss, I suffered some Deaths. In the Course of the Game, you gain a New Skill that makes it much easier to Play.
I think that so Platformer Can only play much better with Gamepad. Unfortunately, this is not supported. I don't know if that's yet to come. There are much better Games in style. But £1.99-not much. And it's not really bad. That's why no Thumbs down.
It would be Interesting to know if the Developers want to work even further together and develop Games even more after Your Studies. You definitely see potential.

Product received for free I've only been topping the Game so far, so I'M just rating the first Impression. I take my Hat off to the Performance of realizing this Game in 3 Months from Concept to final Implementation. Kudos for that. I think The Pixel Graphics are quite good, I just like it retro. The Controls, on when it is a simple WASD + Click control, was not quite so easy at first, you have to develop a lot of skill to master the Combination of Jumps, Enterhooks and Swings once you have come in, but it is a lot of Fun.
The average Playing Time of 1.5 hours is not very long, but given The duration of the Project and the Price of €1.99h, the value for money is perfect. I'll definitely gamble even further and finish the Game, but so I don't leave too much spoiler it at a Performance Video on YouTube.
A great Game to deal with things other Than time-consuming AAA titles in the short term, entertaining, entertaining and demanding. I am curious to see what is yet to come from you.
Update (English version below): Played it through (more than 1 x) + challenging Control entertaining Dyamik through the Enterhooks, thus cool Moves Story Price-AI the Bosse Game Duration Clear Purchase recommendation On my part!
Update: Played it through more than once + challenging controls diverse dynamic game, grabling hooks enable cool moves Story pricing-AI bosses game Duration Clear recommendation!!!
