About Arena of Glothad
Arena of Glothad is a arcade game by Matt English, submitted to the js13kGames 2016 competition. Like every js13k entry, it was built from scratch in under 13 kilobytes — code, art, audio and all — which is an extraordinary constraint that forces clever, focused design.
This entry is part of our catalogue because it represents the spirit of the size-limited game jam. Play it on the official js13k showcase to see what fits in 13KB.
How to Play
Most js13kGames entries use keyboard or mouse controls. Click through to the official js13kGames page for Arena of Glothad to see the in-game instructions.
