The Gauntlet – The Ultimate Test of Speed, Skill, and Survival
A Parkour Speed-Runner Game Where Only the Best Survive
Do you thrive on challenges that push your reflexes, timing, and cunning to the absolute limit? Welcome to The Gauntlet, the single-player parkour-style speed-runner game that dares you to sprint, slide, jump, and ride your way through a series of devilishly designed obstacles.
Step into the shoes of a contestant in a deadly Game Show, orchestrated by the notorious evil mastermind Bad Bat, and prepare to test every ounce of your skill, strategy, and nerve.
What Makes The Gauntlet Unique?
- Relentless Challenges: Every level is meticulously crafted to test you. Each chamber, trap, and hazard is designed not just to slow you down, but to challenge your ability to think fast and react faster.
- Survival of the Fastest: This isn’t just a race; it’s survival. Make a single misstep, mistime a jump, or slide too late, and your run comes to a brutal end. Only the quickest, most skilled contestants will survive the relentless gauntlets and earn the ultimate reward: your freedom.

Game Modes
Campaign Mode: Survive Bad Bat’s Deadly Game Show
But remember, this is a competition. Every chamber is timed, and every misstep costs precious seconds. Enter the elevator at the end of each gauntlet, but only if you’ve survived and proven you are not the slowest contestant. In Bad Bat’s twisted Game Show, being just “good enough” is never enough. Every course demands perfection, and only the fastest earn the right to face the next challenge.
Speedrun Mode: Push Your Limits Even Further
Think you’ve mastered the campaign? Think again. Once you complete the main adventure, Speedrun Mode unlocks, inviting you to revisit each gauntlet whenever you like. Here, the clock is your enemy, and perfection is your only goal. Explore alternative routes, experiment with daring maneuvers, and find new ways to shave precious milliseconds off your time. Each run is a chance to top your personal best or climb the leaderboards, proving that you are a true speed-running master.
A Game for Players Who Love a Challenge
If you crave adrenaline-pumping gameplay that demands precision, strategy, and split-second decision-making, The Gauntlet is your arena. It’s not just a game; it’s a test of reflexes, patience, and skill. Every level presents new surprises, new hazards, and new opportunities to prove your mastery. The satisfaction of nailing a perfect run, sliding under a trap at just the right moment, or soaring across platforms with flawless timing is unmatched.
Designed for players who love speed-running, parkour, and high-stakes gameplay, The Gauntlet offers endless replayability. The combination of campaign challenges, deadly obstacles, and the addictive pursuit of faster times ensures that no two runs are ever the same. With every attempt, you’ll discover new tricks, hidden shortcuts, and the thrill of pushing yourself beyond your limits.
