About Space Gladiators


Fight your way out of a planet prison in this 2D hand-drawn roguelite platformer!

You've been captured and sent to entertain aliens as a gladiator in a faraway planet called Tartarus. You will have to advance through randomly generated biomes with deadly traps and monsters blocking your path. Choose your opponents in the arenas, beat them for items and coins and you might be able to earn your freedom!
  • Tight and fluid controls that allow you to dodge and fight enemies without taking hits - the only ceiling is your own skillset!
  • Hundreds of hand-crafted rooms that are randomly picked to make every new run feel unique.
  • 50+ enemies and 10 bosses to beat with different movesets and attack patterns.
  • 300+ items including pets, weapons and trinkets that unlock new abilities for your characters. Pop your heart out to heal yourself, throw meatballs or fire a laser gun.
  • 8 unique characters that fit different playstyles, including a potato and an alien worm in underpants.
  • Customize your runs by choosing harder paths if you're feeling confident or easier ones if you're on the brink of death. High risk, high reward.

Really enjoy brotato, but this is a boring slog. Sure, there are 100+ items, but most runs take ages before you really start collecting enough items to feel an impact. I really dont have any damning criticism, the runs are just slow and boring. Items are sparse, so the game is heavily dependent on you finding the core combat fun, and its just... okay? I like hollow knight, I wouldn't play it just for the combat if you removed everything else

I AM THE POTATO< this game seems underrated in comparison to BROTATO but i love it less the more i play because you just level up so slow it isn't worth the grind, great game but needs a revisit from the devs to update and rebalance

Space Gladiators is a charming and energetic roguelite platformer that takes a familiar genre formula and injects it with a unique sense of humor and personality. Developed and published by Blobfish, the game throws players into the role of prisoners trapped on the alien world of Tartarus, where survival means fighting through a series of deadly gladiatorial trials. Rather than presenting a grim science-fiction setting, the game embraces absurdity with its unusual cast of playable characters, quirky enemies, and lighthearted visual style. This approach helps it stand apart from many roguelites that lean heavily into dark fantasy or post-apocalyptic themes. The gameplay revolves around procedurally generated runs filled with platforming challenges, combat encounters, treasure rooms, merchants, and dangerous environmental hazards. Each attempt feels unpredictable thanks to the random layout of levels and the constant stream of new opportunities and threats. Success depends not only on combat skill but also on precise movement, quick reactions, and smart decision-making. The platforming elements play a major role throughout the adventure, creating a refreshing balance between action …
