About Astro Gauntlet

Astro Gauntlet is a vertical space shooter created for PotatoPlayer, with multiple weapons, escalating waves, and boss fights that cap each run. Pilot a ship up the screen, dodge fire, and upgrade your firepower in survival runs that stay short and replayable. It is one of PotatoPlayer's showcase arcade titles.

How to play

1. Steer your ship with the mouse, touch, or arrow keys.
2. Fire continuously and weave through enemy bullets.
3. Collect weapon and power-up drops to upgrade your loadout.
4. Survive the waves and defeat the boss at the end of the gauntlet.

Tips

• Prioritize dodging over shooting; a destroyed ship deals no damage.
• Hold upgrades for boss fights where extra firepower matters most.
• Learn enemy spawn patterns to position yourself before they appear.

Astro Gauntlet is an original game made for PotatoPlayer. It runs right in your browser, with no downloads and no launcher.
