Ride the Gauntlet is a fully playable prototype for an arcade-style 2D shoot 'em up. You control a car that shoots enemies and dodges obstacles while collecting coins and power-ups. This downloadable game for Windows includes one full level with a boss battle at the end.

I usually stick to making music for games, but in this case, I went all-in and did the programming and most of the art as well. I might turn it into a full game later by adding more levels and features, but for now, what you see is what you get.
