Reviews
“Glitchspace could become one of the more inventive puzzle games to arrive on the PC in some time.”
Gamespot
“Even with other programming-based puzzlers on the horizon Glitchspace still looks unique, bewildering and promising.”
Eurogamer
“As someone with the programming knowledge of a log this is immediately challenging stuff, even if at first you can only make very minor changes. But then, it’s all the more satisfying to make a platform bouncy when it wasn’t before.”

Everything Has Changed
With Alpha 2.0, we rebuilt the entire game from the ground up. Everything from the design, programming and aesthetics of the game has been completely overhauled, in delivering the game that you see today.
2.0 will serve as the new basis of Glitchspace going forward. In future updates, you can expect more levels, updates to the art and sound, iterations and refinements made to the core programming mechanic and an enhanced sandbox mode being introduced.
