Cityglitch

Cityglitch is a puzzle game in which you fly between rooftops to light ancient runes and free glitches trapped in the city. Each level is a small, turn-based puzzle: you move around a board while the glitches move and react to you. Light every rune to complete the ritual and progress to new cities with new challenges.

Outwit the glitches

Glitches appear as traps, spooks and dark things that skitter across the rooftops. Scaredy cats block your path, while fearsome beasts confront you. Learn how they move to avoid them and make your way through each level. If a glitch catches you, the level restarts; each attempt can reveal more clues to solving it. The puzzles start simply and become challenging quickly.

Solve each board

Every puzzle takes place on a 5x5 tile board. Select your character to see available moves, then move to any reachable tile. You can travel any number of tiles in a straight line, like a queen in chess, and light runes by passing over them. Use Undo to go back one turn or Restart to try the level again. Completing levels in as few turns as possible is the mastery goal, which can be displayed optionally.

Levels and presentation

Cityglitch has 95 levels across 7 cities, including boss encounters. Its presentation features large, shimmering pixels, glitchy shaders and a synthy atmospheric soundtrack. A low-graphics mode reduces the shimmering, and the game window can be resized.
