✦ AI summary
Players appreciate Glitch Maze.exe as a fun Pac-Man-inspired game with solid music, gameplay mechanics, and appropriate length, though opinions split on its visual presentation. While some enjoy the core experience and want more content, others find the 2D graphics outdated and the visual effects like VHS distortion uncomfortable or gimmicky. The game has a dedicated small audience but divisive feedback on whether its aesthetic choices enhance or detract from the experience.
"Glitch Maze.exe" a lame ripoff of Pac-Man only with a lighting problem, so you can only see a little way ahead of or behind you, and of course your corpse leaves a bit of light as well to help you out. So dying is good, but uninstalling this is better. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. It's the responsibility of the developer to ensure the game runs well on the platform they're selling it on, with the primary peripherals that PC gamers use. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB s…1 found this helpful
This is a really good game, I like it. One problem, I don't like the visual affects (VHS and Warped,) I literally thought my computer screen was broken and it really hurts my eyes. Overall, this is a really good game. Well done!
Good game, I liked it! Graphics, music and gameplay are very well done, and the length is just right.
small but fun it is pacman but good so if you like pacman you need to play this game
I've actually had some fun on this. There should be more levels, and more achievements too. 100%'d the game by now! (I actually 100%'d the game long ago)
good soundtrack
