Chessplosion's gauntlet update is out now! Chessplosion now contains Gauntlet mode, a new arcade-inspired mode where you score points by quickly chaining hits on enemies without taking damage. It's a bit like a linear version of Dungeon mode with no upgrades, no backtracking, and nothing but action.
Gauntlet mode also has local and online* co-op multiplayer! Chessplosion's explosions were programmed in a way that doesn't really handle disabling friendly fire, so I had to keep friendly fire enabled in co-op. So please just see co-op as a fun extra, and try to embrace the chaos.
Thanks again for supporting Chessplosion!
*Chessplosion's online multiplayer functionality relies on Steamworks networking, so online multiplayer is only playable in the Steam version of the game. A Steam key for the game is included with your itch.io purchase.
