    Galactic Glitch is yet another fantastic and innovative addition to the twin-stick genre, one that it is fair to say has had a fair few belters so far this year.

    Galactic Glitch is a sci-fi-inspired rogue-like that is fun but often cruel. This physics-based experience will test your luck, patience, and skills as you flit from node to node. Moreover, you will have to grind away as upgrades and progress don't come easily.

    Galactic Glitch is a cleverly crafted roguelike that blends classic twin-stick shooter mechanics with smart, physics-driven gameplay and a touch of narrative intrigue. With bite-sized runs, meaningful upgrades, and room for experimentation, it’s a must-play for fans of action roguelikes looking for something both nostalgic and fresh.

    Galactic Glitch is a twin-stick shooter roguelite in which you control an AI in the form of a spaceship trapped in a corrupted simulation. The gameplay focuses on physics to grab and throw objects, enemies, and projectiles, using mass and inertia for chain attacks, even taking advantage of friendly fire from opponents. Each run allows you to upgrade weapons, ships, and perks, but only after defeating certain bosses. More difficult than average, it rewards skill and perseverance rather than simply farming resources.

    Galactic Glitch surprised me by providing many hours of fun in a genre that I'm usually not interested in. Its elegant design, addictive gameplay, and unique mechanics make it stand out, even though the meta-progression and balance in later levels could use some fine-tuning. Coming from someone who does not usually go for roguelike and roguelite games, I was hooked within the first 15 minutes and had a blast throwing rocks at my enemies.
