About Project Glitch

A parasitic substance known as Glitch is consuming the world, corrupting all organic life into violent, machine-like entities. You play as STRYX, who resisted full transformation due to reasons unknown, left altered but immune. His journey to fight back the Glitch leads him to a jagged, unforgiving mountain in search of SINGULARITY, the origin of the outbreak. 

Journey Through a World Overtaken by Machines

This action-adventure offers a unique, handcrafted world to explore. Fight your way forward and ascend to the peak of a hostile mountain environment to find your goal.

Tight and Deadly Combat

Unlock new sword and gun abilities to unleash your full potential against the corruption. The game offers souls-like combat with animation-driven combat and movement.

Gather Power-Ups and Evolve

Discover powerful upgrades on your ascent to spend on skills that improve your sword, gun and body. Find every secret and evolve STRYX into an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.This is a student project. We aimed to pushes fast-paced combat and game-feel as far as six months of development would allow. The game offers action-adventure with souls-like combat and a sprinkle of RPG elements.The experience takes about half an hour to complete. Try it yourself, it's free :)

Just wow, this was an amazing student project. I enjoyed the gun mechanic to figure out puzzles and going back through to find the skill points. even though the combat needs some work, I still found myself really enjoying the experience. One part I liked in particular is the ability to see what you can climb and what you can't to help figure out where to go. Excellent job man I hope you make many more game projects in the future!

Game runs perfectly, looks really good, its a nice short game with a good endgame boss that tricked me a bit which cause me to actually think on what I should be doing. But overall really good game that was made in just 6 months by students.

Looks way cooler then it plays, not bad for the time constraints but no Title no options no real story. The gameplay is like using a universal controller on a Ps1. The jump response is like a doughy marshmallow, The only way to fight is to rely on auto aim. The textures are really grainy and kinda hurt my eyes. Gave it a go but couldn't be bothered with the combat, Similar to Ghost but like if he was Helen Keller.

Fun little game. For a six month student project, this was well done. The team should feel proud. Is it perfect? No. There is some jankiness in the controls, and no settings menu etc. For being a student project though this is great.

There is a little bit of yank in this game, but hell this is good for the scope of it being a student project. With so little there is so much atmosphere!
