Glitchspace is a first person programming game that’s centred around a visual programming mechanic to change the shape and purpose of objects. Set in a cyberspace world with simple solid colors and shading, you have to solve problems by reprogramming objects, altering their physical properties to allow your passage through the levels.
Glitchspace teaches you how to use its node-based programming system called Null through trial and error, with you experimenting with various functions. Right clicking on an object brings up a programming box full of nodes that you can alter.
Whistler writes, "It was a rather surprisingly pleasant experience when I began to warm up to software development and even more so when I could understand the lines of seemingly gibberish java. Of course there are always those times when you’ll just sit there dumbfounded as to what single piece of code is stopping everything from working but fixing them would always be invigorating. Glitchspace developed by Dundee-based studio Space Budgie delivers a similar experience filtered through the medium of gaming (minus the issue of mistyping an If statement for the fifth billionth time)."
Glitchspace is an incredibly unique puzzle-platformer akin to games like Portal with a style straight out of Tron.
MonsterVine: "Glitchspace is an ambitious game that is ready to set your lateral thinking skills to the test, but what exactly does it mean to reprogram the world and more importantly, is it any fun?"
