Unique gameplay, so much laughing!
This is in my top 2 games from Glitch and one of my favorite games from any studio. The game mechanics are really unique and it’s a total blast to play. The best part is that when you’re “done”, you can still go back and see how many shortcuts you can take, and how quickly you can solve it! It added a whole new dimension and extended the gameplay, super fun. Glitch is the best!
Nope
Love Glitch games but this is not enjoyable.
I am in love
Well, first of all I love Glitch games very much. Also this game is very good in different ways! However, I found this game easier and shorter than other games from Glitch for this price. Normally I played a game for weeks. Now i was finished in 1 day. But still good. Thank you.
Too much dying to get very far
I’ve played every Glitch game except a couple now I think and I’ve loved them all for the most part. I got to chapter 3 with some walkthrough help and then had to watch a walkthrough video to get through the boxes and finally get that keycard. Went to the elevator, inserted the keycard and then died doing the puzzle. The thought of having to go through all that again and maybe again just to get the keycard is too much for me. I like a challenging game but you also need to feel like you’re accomplishing something and this just didn’t do it for me.
I can’t
I absolutely love all Glitch games but I just cannot stand to have to do everything all over again for more than ten times. It’s just impossible for me to do that. So because it’s Glitch games, absolutely beautiful, everything is great about it, I tried playing this game three times but I just ended up deleting it because I just cannot repeat things continuously. Sorry!
amazing BUT
i loved it. such a great twist on this type of game. had a blast playing it. however i let the song play way too many times. i just refused to turn it off at the start of every loop out of spite. and now i will hear it in my dreams forever. i have regrets.
Worst game from Glitch
So annoying having to keep starting the game again. I’m a real fan of Glitch Games - all their games have been brilliant…..until now. I can’t even be bothered to finish the game and I’ve only just got to the second door. A real disappointment. I hope the next one is back to their usual brilliant selves.
Another great game but a bit on the short side
Another great glitch game featuring a clever and original concept, but disappointingly short. Perhaps it was just easier than previous games and I managed to play through this one faster than usual, but it felt like 1/3 or 1/4 as big.
Stressful and boring at the same time
I love Glitch games but not this game. It requires you to do the same things over and over again, which gets annoying. I hate games that use timed tasks. Although you can disable the clock, some timed puzzles remain. I find them very stressful and after the fifth time starting the same timed task again, I decided to stop the game and remove it from my Ipad.
Gets Boring Repeating Tasks
I have followed Glitch games for years and get so excited when new games come out. This one is a “miss” for me, though. I hate having to do the same tasks over and over. I don’t think I have it in me to finish this one.
New and immersive!
The more I ran through the time loops on this game, the more I remembered the different code sequences. I remembered a lot more than I thought I would, and by pushing buttons in an intuitive way, I felt much more immersed in the game. The sound track helped too, although I turned it off after a while. (It was in my head all day the next day.) Having the time loops made a much different experience and added some adrenaline to an otherwise mostly intellectual puzzle solving game. Love!
Glitch City
This game has so many glitches, it’s unplayable. The lift doors in chapter 3 wouldn’t open. I could dive the puzzle through the door???? But count move. Had to start the game from scratch. Next the wireless controller doesn’t appear in my hand, therefor I can’t stop the clock to obtain the the key card. Restarted the game twice more with the same result. Don’t waist your time on this game like I have.
A Glitch game, always a pleasure
Long time waiting for this new Glitch game… and finally it’s here! I have to admit I have really enjoyed it, but maybe it’s too short and a little bit “straightforward”: I did not find any particular difficulty to go ahead in the game, being able to finish it sooner than I expected/would have liked. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves this kind of games.
HUGE glitch fan but This wasn’t one of my favorites
I own every glitch game and on preorder;I love them, especially the early ones. But this is the first game I could t finish. Something about having to go back to the start and redo puzzles killed it for me to the point that I abandoned it…personally I’d prefer not to have to revisit puzzles done. In a side note I also love the range and creativity of the earlier games… of late they all seem to be sort of all industrial looking… but excited to play fragile mind now!
One of my favorite game makers, but probably won’t finish this one
I just don’t want to do the same puzzles over and over again to get back to where I was each time I tap something that ends the game. Some might like that. I prefer to just be able to explore without worrying about having to redo everything.
So good. My brain hurts.
Wow what a mind bender! It lost me a little at the end but 5 stars!
Crash on start-up
Waste of money. Game crashes almost immediately after launching.
Elevator Bug!?
So I don’t know if this is part of the game, but I am stuck in the elevator and I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.
Its too redundant. I guess the title is self-explanatory.
Glitch is the master of these kind of games but they missed on this one. The puzzles are great but having to start over each time becomes really irritating. I tried playing a second time with UNLIMITED time on the clock but even with that the game is designed where you have to purposely go back to the beginning to finish the puzzles. In my opinion, that is just not a good idea. I’m looking forward to their next release I hope they go back to the Forever Lost design. That series is legendary.
Hate repeating
I should have read the description more carefully. I hate having to repeat things, and this game makes you repeat things. Plus, it plays the same song over and over unless you shut it off. Really annoying. I have played all Glitch games, and really like them, but I don’t like this one, and have stopped playing this one. It’s just too frustrating for me. Fair warning to others who feel the same way.
4.5 stars maybe?
I love Glitch games, I love the stories, the care and humor in the writing, the puzzles. I have bought every single one they charged for. This is the first game of theirs that has ever felt tedious at some point. The triangle, circle, square boxes, and the timing felt, for me, like jumping through hoops. I love challenging puzzles but this part was finicky and annoying. I haven’t finished the game yet because of it and possibly I’ve stopped caring? Glitch is one of the best creators of adventure puzzle story games, and if I could give 4.5 stars for this one, I probably would. I’ll definitely check out whatever they put out next though. =)
Fun, wish it were longer!
The timed element is a bit unsettling at first, but the camera is a lifesaver. Took me a couple of hours to complete; I just wish it had been longer!
Repetitive
I love Glitch games, just not this one. I gave up on the first chapter when I realized it was more of a platformer type game where you “die” and repeat the same steps over and over. I seek out point and click adventure games for this very reason…I hate repetitive arcade games.
Please remove time loop
I was really looking forward to the new game. Please remove the time loop. It's absolutely no fun to start over forever.
UPDATED REVIEW—Please add a setting to remove the time loop.
Thank you so much for updating the game to include this setting! 🙏 Loving the game now! Five stars 🤗 **** As a person with ADD, this setting with the timer gives me anxiety and I don’t want to play. Otherwise it’s a good game so far.
Over and over again
Disappointed by this one. I decided to quit after the third chapter. Restarting over and over - even if you know the short cuts - is annoying and the feeling of not getting anywhere gets the better of you. No, this one doesn’t work for me. 😔
Just not fun
I have purchased all of the Glitch games over the years and they are honestly my favorite developer but this one is not enjoyable in that you can’t take the time to figure things out. I’m sure that’s the goal here but PLEASE make more like the good ol’ days, GLITCH!!!
Loved it, just too short
Gosh, another 2 chapters and it would have been perfect!
Annoying and frustrating
I actually love Glitch games but this one wasn't my cup of tea. The puzzles are good as always and the story is great, but the whole idea with doing the same thing over and over again is just annoying and frustrating. You have to solve some of the puzzles again and again and the hint-menu resets whole the time, which gets confusing and annoying. It makes the game loose "flow" and ends up being rather boring. I liked the ending, though.
YAY YAY YAY!
Love Glitch! Interesting concept in this game, I started at three minutes for the first two sections, but went to ten minutes for the third. I always use the camera, but in this game it was needed! Love their humor, but the logic and challenges are perfect for my level of play which I would say is slightly advanced. Can’t wait for the next!
Thank you for the unlimited time option..
.. it makes all the difference. Timed play just isn’t why I became a Glitch fan in the first place. Timing didn’t feel like your signature somehow. This is much better. Loving the updated version!
So much love
Glitch is one of the best developers out there, and this game is another fun and unique experience. It’s shorter than many of their games, but still took me most of a day to solve and was well worth the money. My only problem with Glitch is that they don’t put out games fast enough, leaving me to compulsively check their website all year to see when I can get my next fix. Love, love, love you guys.
