Description: Glitchspace is about reprogramming the game to solve puzzles. Trapped in an abstract cyberspace world, your way forward uses visual programming to edit environmental geometry, whilst unlocking key programming concepts along the way. Stretch, scale, rotate, manipulate and create, explore a world of reprogrammable geometry as you discover your way home, ever distant on the horizon.

Review: Glitchspace is an odd game that is for sure. It’s half sci-fi adventure and half programming puzzler. It’s that latter part that really makes this something very unusual to play. You have to basically solve various puzzles by programming the behaviour of your environment. If you have not idea what that means then put simply this isn’t the game for you. But if that sounds like a bit of fun this free adventure game awaits you with just under 3 hours of gameplay. For a free game, it is far better than you would think, but it isn’t for everyone that is for sure.
