Review: cityglitch (2017)

Original post: https://misthold.dreamwidth.org/6724.html

cityglitch (2017) is a puzzle game set in sci-fi (/fantasy?) world with little pixel people and animals. Pretty difficult! Controls are point-and-click, and you can only move in straight lines. Art style seems heavily influenced by vaporwave. It's turn-based, and there are things trying to kill you or block your way, so you have to time your moves with their moves to get to the exit. Luckily the puzzles themselves are pretty contained, only 5×5 grids, so you're not trying to move across huge platforms.

I played about 10 levels/10 minutes before quitting; there are a total of 95 levels, so a good amount of play time available. Would be really fun as a mobile game, I think!

Price: $2.99

Available on Windows, Linux, Mac and mobile. I played the Mac OS version.
