Release notes:

American Gladiator by Lauren Walker, David Wilson, Takuya Yoshikane

Our game is based on the competition TV show American Gladiators. More specifically, we loosely represented the popular event Assault. The arena is based on the set from the early years of the show, with the grey floor and prominent blue obstacles. Player two is based on the gladiator known as “Malibu,” and is outfitted in red while player one is outfitted in yellow, and represents the contender. Player two defends the flag with a cannon as player one attempts to steal it and return it to his base.
