We got full control back of our game from the publisher we were using, so we had to remove their splash screen.

Glitch's Trip is now 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale 2021, so if you ever wanted to play a twin-stick shooter that's adorable, yet challenging, this is your chance now.

You have until July 8th 10:05 AM PDT to get in on this hot deal.

Hey Everyone,

With this release, all 100 levels are in and the Twisted Temple is a wild ride. It really focuses on bringing all the mechanics of the game together. You'll have to master the glitch tiles, changes in gravity, and using warp gates to teleport around.

We also added a casual difficulty to all levels, so if you have been struggling on any level, you can practice on an easier version of the level and continue progressing throughout the game. Don't give up on those harder levels though, we look forward to seeing players crush through the content we created.

On top of that, we have a lot of balance changes in this update. The biggest one being that spikes and lava no longer cause instant death; they do 3 damage instead to you. We feel like this alleviates some perfectionism you needed in some levels and improves the overall fun in these challenging levels. Let us know what you think!

There's also a ton of other stuff, like optimizations, a new boss music system, new cutscenes, and lots of new SFX that our friends at Blue Whale have made for the game. We are super excited to ship this release and one step closer to wrapping up our Early Access phase.

Hey Everyone,

While our last update was huge, it definitely came out way later than we wanted it to. Our plan now is to release smaller bits of content as we get it done so we have more chances to interact with you and get feedback on what you are excited about vs what could be better.

We are currently working on the last group of levels themed around a Twisted Temple. Expect a lot of smash ups from objects and enemies in the last 75 levels but adding some new unique twists to this content.

Here's what's new:

As a side note:

If you already picked up the game and are reading this, we are super curious on what type of levels you have invisioned for the game. Pick up the level editor and play around with it. We would love playing what you come up with!

Keep on Glitching On!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for how long this release has taken, our goal was to put the whole Space Rave content into this release and it ended up taking much longer than anticipated.

We decided we'll do more incremental releases for the upcoming Twisted Temple, so you can play the levels as they are being made.

On the bright side, this is our biggest release and we have lots of updates and fixes.

So here is what's new:


Thanks so much for your patience. If you want quick answers to questions we just started a discord channel where you'll be able to contact us directly. You can join it here: https://discord.gg/ShenUFA

Happy holidays from everyone here at Ransacked Studios!
