GAUNTLET: Brain & Reflex

GAUNTLET is a brain-and-reflex arcade built from twenty different mini-games that hit you back to back, one after another, with no idea which is coming next.

A run is nine rounds pulled from the pool, difficulty climbing steeply from the first round to the last. You get three lives. Win a round and your streak multiplier grows, up to triple points; miss and it resets. The pool covers reaction time, working memory, attention and logic: smash the pad matching the flashing colour, replay a sequence backwards, find the one tile whose colour is subtly off while the grid shuffles, tap the ink colour instead of the word, add up grids that flash for two seconds, tilt your phone to park a marble, connect one edge of a board to the other before the machine locks you out, and more.

• Daily run — the same seeded nine rounds for everyone, one attempt a day, with a streak and a shareable result grid • Endless — random seed, difficulty keeps climbing past round nine for a pure score chase • Practice — pick any single game and drill it alone, with your level saved between sessions • Twenty mini-games including IMPULSE, AFTERIMAGE, ODDBALL, STROOP, TALLY, GHOST GRID, RULES RACE, GRIDLOCK and TILT • Online leaderboards for the daily board and all-time endless, plus your rank • Stats screen, three visual themes, per-track music toggles, haptics and quality settings • A community poll to vote on which mini-game gets built next

Nine rounds. Three lives. One shot at today's board.
