Shiny Gauntlet announced

Glen Henry writes in to announce Shiny Gauntlet, an action roguelike-like in the Binding of Isaac vein.

In development by Jamaican indie studio SpriteWrench, Shiny Gauntlet features a pretty straightforward plot premise:

Select your champion and explore the Gauntlet. Collect weapons, enchanted rings, bottle and/or consume the mysterious remains of defeated foes, all the while chasing the Wily Cultist who has stolen your Shiny Shard!

Here’s the reveal trailer:

Among the game’s planned features:

• Fight your way through a randomly generated death labyrinth!
• 20 playable classes!
• 60 enchanted rings!
• Bottle the remains of your foes and consume them later for powerups (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Shiny Gauntlet is planned for release on October 1 (yes, that’s 2 days from today) for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
