Missing something... a lot of somethings

Cela08

so, it's pretty easy to tell clear off the bat that this app's trying to run in the same veins as the likes of Yume Nikki and LSD Dream Emulator. y'know, the wander around aimlessly and look at weird stuff playstyle. aaand... i like those games a lot, so i can respect that. unfortunately, though, Glitch World ends up feeling really empty - in a genre where there's a lot of empty spaces to begin with. basically, you walk through a square room with textures and go through a door that leads into another, basically identical room with different textures. it switches through a few different (stock?) songs (i don't know how many, as i had heard about 4 or 5 before i stopped playing) and much like LSD Dream Emulator, the textures corrupt over time. however, i really didn't have to play long before being faced with constant repeats, and the texture glitches are little more than unimpressive jpg corruptions (and on the note of jpgs, many of the textures were awkwardly compressed.) and, most egregiously of all, this game is missing something preeeeetty important: characters, objects, anything.imagine Yume Nikki or LSD Dream Emulator without its interesting and strange-looking little dream world denizens. now imagine if they also were both series of identical square rooms with different wallpapers, and you have Glitch World. an aimless wandering game doesn't really work if you don't have anything to find. as the sad cherry on top, though, this game also controls REALLY badly... it's incredibly hard just to walk in a straight line across the room. the little silver lining to this at least is that you can teleport by double tapping, though at one point i did teleport out of the room's walls and very nearly fell out of bounds. a for effort, i guess?

The game is aimless, but when it comes down to it, isn't life? You open a door expecting to have traveled somewhere, made some sort of progression, only to realize there's no goal, there's just an eternity of destinations, all as meaningless and hollow as the next. Should you keep going forward? Of course. Nothing awaits you, there is no value in any of it, but then again, does there really need to be? At moments in this game, you may feel joy, you may feel sad, frustrated, weak? But it's all just you. Your experience is merely a reflection of the delusional emotions that accompany your self-grasping ignorance. Best game of the year!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


"Plan Nine From Outer Space" of the App Store

With so many offerings in the vast App Store, there can be only one which is worse than ALL the others, the very bottom of the barrel, and this sad heap of pixels is IT. Ed Wood would have loved it more than a cashmere sweater.


WORST GAME EVER!

BryceDillon24

First off u can't even play with out it pausing every 5 steps.. And there's no point at all to the game. Not worth the time don't get it!


Boring is all I can say

Cela08

If I were to sum up this game in one sentence, it would be "Yume Nikki or LSD Dream Emulator, except less interesting" The controls are iffy at best and annoying at worst, and the graphics are certainly not interesting enough to make up for the fact that it's a bunch of empty rooms with textures. In fact, I can find more interesting ones just by jamming a bunch of Gameshark codes into a Pokémon Red rom. I understand that games like this are about exploring, but there's nothing interesting to explore so I have no real motivation to keep playing. Long story short, don't play.


can u add more stuff to the rooms

Sirintey

kinda creepy but i guess pretty cool


Needs translations

This game is a little intriguing, but mostly boring. My biggest complaint is that none of the words have been translated from Japanese, so it's a lot of work to even get an idea of what it's saying. Probably would be better if I could understand it. Over all, it's a good idea, but it needs work.


Great

Most people may not enjoy or like this game simply because it is "boring" i do not see this game as entertainment but real psycadelic since it feels great
