About cityglitch


Glitches are trapped in the city! Go city witch, fly between rooftops to light the ancient runes of power. Light them to complete the ritual and set the glitches free.

Beware! Glitches take on many forms. They haunt the rooftops as traps, spooks, and dark things that skitter. Scaredy cats will block your path and fearsome beasts will face you. Learn their movements to outwit them, and you'll progress to new cities with new challenges.

Cityglitch is a game of small, bite-sized puzzles. Take turns moving around the board as glitches move and react to you. If a glitch catches you it will restart the level, but don't worry, with each attempt you'll learn more clues to complete it. Cityglitch starts with simple puzzles but ramps up quickly to challenge you!

How to play:


  • Each puzzle is a 5x5 board of tiles
  • Press on your character to see available moves
  • Click to move to any tile that you can reach
  • You can move any number of tiles in a straight line (like a queen in chess)
  • Pass over runes to light them
  • Light all the runes to complete the level
  • Avoid enemies by understanding their movements
  • Use UNDO to go back one turn
  • Use RESTART to try the level again
  • Complete levels in the fewest possible turns to master them

Features:


  • Simple point and click controls
  • Easy to play but offers deep challenge
  • 95 tricky levels across 7 cities
  • Fierce boss encounters
  • Big shimmering pixels and glitchy shaders
  • Synthy atmospheric soundtrack
  • Steam achievements
  • Optional turn count display with mastery goal
  • Optional low graphics mode, with reduced shimmering
  • Easily resizable window: play while watching streams or queueing for games

Developer Note:



Mindfungus is four friends making games together. We like to make small games with our weird art and music. If you like retro puzzle games with vibrant pixels, simple movement and devious challenge then Cityglitch is for you.

If you have any problems playing the game or just want to say hi then hit us up on the forums, twitter, or our website. Thanks for reading, we hope you enjoy the game.

Fun and simple puzzle game. A lot of the puzzles later on seem to require perfect solutions, which I couldn't figure out. I ended up having to brute force them, which always feels bad. Still, it's a solid game with interesting puzzles. Anyone who likes puzzle games should definitely check it out.

Cityglitch — это атмосферный киберпанк-эксперимент с неповторимым визуальным стилем. Яркие, абстрактные локации и динамичный геймплей, где игрок исследует город, решая головоломки и взаимодействуя с необычными NPC. Графика вдохновлена цифровым арт-движением, а музыка добавляет напряжения. Однако сюжет слегка запутан, а механики иногда не до конца проработаны. Тем не менее, игра оставляет яркое впечатление благодаря креативности и уникальной атмосфере. Рекомендуется для любителей нестандартных проектов.
