Use your jetpack and shield to deflect the incoming glitchball to score goals, kill players, and compete for dominance in a chilled out dead mall.

Key Features

  • Maneuver through colorful levels using exhilarating jetpack based movement
  • Grab power-ups to gain an advantage over your opponents
  • Choose from 4 radical levels and 4 far-out characters
  • Play: 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, or even 1 vs. 3

Glitchball is a local PvP Unity Based 2D retro pixel arena brawler/pinball hybrid. You bounce a giant pinball around a pastel arena (ignoring the fact that Vaporwave was more about neon than pastels) while annoying music blips at you. There's no online gameplay. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. The default keybinds, which can't be bad, are atrociously unintuitive... it appears the developers never saw a PC before, or played video games before. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The game is completely free. This is noble a gesture that shows dedication to both gamers, and the gaming industry. Nothing speaks more to a developers belief in themselves and their product than making their game available for everyone without remuneration. It's a shame in this case that…

Игра 'Glitchball' – это удивительно затягивающая смесь аркадного экшена и минималистичного дизайна. С первого взгляда кажется простой, но глубина механик открывается с каждой новой игрой. Неон, пульсирующая музыка и постоянный риск сбоя создают атмосферу напряжения и восторга. Управление интуитивно понятно, но освоить все хитрости потребуется время. Отлично подходит для коротких сессий, чтобы скоротать время, но может затянуть и на часы в попытках побить свой рекорд. Графика, хотя и минималистичная, очень стильная и идеально соответствует динамичному геймплею. Единственный минус – иногда возникают редкие, но неприятные баги, соответствующие названию, но разработчики оперативно их исправляют. В целом, "Glitchball" – это отличный пример того, как простота может быть ключом к захватывающему игровому процессу. Рекомендую всем любителям аркад, ищущим что-то новое и необычное.
