Laser Gauntlet
Slip through security rooms packed with spinning, sweeping, pulsing and tracking lasers. Dash through beams, grab coins, beat the clock and earn an extra life each new sector.
Laser Gauntlet is a top-down neon stealth-action game in which every room is a fresh laser trap. You control a small glowing agent who must reach the green exit door on the far side while spinning rotors, sliding sweepers, pulsing laser grids and tracking turrets fill the floor between you and it. Each room is randomly built, so no two runs feel the same.
Your one special move is the dash, a short burst that makes you invulnerable and lets you phase straight through a beam for a bonus, with a one-second cooldown shown as a ring around you. Rooms are scored for coins, a time bonus against a par clock and a bonus for collecting every coin. You have three lives, and every new sector (Lobby, Vault, Reactor, Core and Void, five rooms each) restores one, up to five. Early rooms use only slow rotors and the first few seconds are forgiving. Later rooms add faster arms, grids that flash a warning before they fire, and turrets that lock on before a long beam. Your deepest room is saved as a clearance rank from Intern to Ghost. On phones the room turns vertical, with a thumb stick and a dash button.
It fits players who like arcade reflex games and short runs. Tip: watch the grid timing and enter just as it switches off, and save the dash for turret shots.
How to play
Move with WASD, arrows or the on-screen stick to reach the green exit in every room. Touching a laser costs a life. Press Space, Shift or the DASH button to become invulnerable for a moment and phase through beams. Collect coins and beat the timer for bonus points.
