    Glyph is set in the desert, which is a little sour for the ball-shaped main character who is allergic to sand. And just to be clear, it's not a "Is that a pimple on my face?" allergy, but one of the "If I hit sand the whole thing explodes" type. So jump, dive and fly, anything to stay out of the sand and accomplish your mission safely. Nice to spend a quarter or maybe even an hour, not enough to convert us to platforming.

    Glyph styles itself as one type of genre but desperately wants to be thought of as another. This jamboree of various platforming ideas never quite works, even if some players might find joy in its tranquil collectible hunting.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I really liked this at first, It seemed like a refreshing 3D platformer and I was surprised at how much I liked it for only two dollars. The demo was surprisingly long and it reeled me in. I am however disappointed more and more as I progress. The level difficulty ratings do not seem accurate at all. It just seems like the levels get easier and less creative as you go. Besides the time trials there really isn't much of a challenge after the first few level areas. The avatar capsules get easier to find, especially when Anobi stands literally right next to the switch and tells you "It's right there" He should be helping less and less as difficulty increases not blatantly telling you exactly where to go. A lot of the "harder" levels have less keys to collect. I get the sense the developers just got tired of being creative with the placement of collectibles. It was more fun when you actually had to search for them and they were placed far away forcing you to come up with ways to bounce higher and go farther. It's just gotten really stale and I don't enjoy it anymore. Maybe the difficulty will pick up towards the end but for now I just don't feel like playing it anymore.… Full Review »

    A real peaceful platforming experience. 60fps all the time. I love this game.

    It's hard to explain how empowering this game feels to play. it controls perfectly and flying around the world is so much fun. The levelIt's hard to explain how empowering this game feels to play. it controls perfectly and flying around the world is so much fun. The level design is great and the overworld feels awesome to move around in and unlock new stuff. You can play like a speed runner or a completionist, whatever suits you. Going super fast and trying to beat the level way faster than usual is a blast. One of the best values I've gotten at 20$.… Full Review »
