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.
Here is a trailer for Twisted Temple and the official list of what's new:

Phew, ok that was a lot to read through! Next, we plan on working on tighten up some levels and getting the final cutscenes in. Please hit us up with any feedback you have on the new release.
Once we get those cutscenes in and some more polish, we plan on leaving Early Access and shipping our 1.0 version of the game!
Thanks for playing! Keep on Glitching on!

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

This build mainly focused on achievements and SFX improvements. We added 26 Steam Achievements to the game!

As always please keep the feedback coming and keep on Glitching on!

We had a blast trying to beat each other scores while working on this feature and we'd love to see you beat our scores!
We also did a lot of work on audio and revamped how we are doing some ambient sounds.
Here is a list of audio changes in this build:
We're also always trying to squash bugs and add improvements anywhere we can.

Hey everyone!
It’s been a little over a month since our last official post and we just wanted to give you an update on our progress. The three of us have each been working on different major parts of the game and we are excited to show you that we are making head way on all of them!
Level Editor Improvements:
We have been overhauling the level editor to make things a lot simpler and easy to use. We hope to make things painless so you are excited to create your own levels and share them with us and the community!
Creating World 3 – Space Rave:
We are in the middle of creating levels for World 3 which is themed after a Space Rave. Yup, giant speakers, hanging lights, and festival drops! World 3 is all about gravity manipulation, so get ready to be upside down and sideways as you tackle new enemies and hazards! World 3 will also use the glitch powers from the first two worlds, so players will have to think fast as you float through zero g and time switching tiles all while flipping upside down and around. It’s been exciting to make these levels and we are stoked to get them into your hands. World 3 really ramps up the difficulty, so be prepared!
Art for World 4 – Twisted Temple:
To keep things moving at a decent pace, we have been working on our next set of art assets for our final world called Twisted Temple. It is a very heavily Egyptian influenced world with an alien like twist. We will have more to share about the main mechanic used in this world in a future post, but we wanted to give you a sneak peak of some of the art being used in our final world.
Story:
There’s a lot to still do to get this game ready for a full release, but we realize we are currently lacking a story and it’s something we want to get into the game soon after World 3 is in your hands. Our focus in early access is to get you the gameplay and listen to your feedback on where you would like us to adjust things. We want you to be able to continue to play this game way past what we will be offering in official story levels through your own custom levels to share and challenge others to complete.
Feedback:
Keep the feedback coming in! We are looking at all of it and organizing it to tackle bugs and address any concerns as they come in to get addressed with each of our updates. Look for fixes and adjustments on your feedback in our next patch notes.

We are happy to announce that Glitch's Trip has entered Early Access on Steam!
From months of prototyping ideas and coming up with a unique mechanic that we have not seen yet done before. To showcasing our early development at BostonFIG and in the PAX Rising booth at PAX East last year; we made it to the milestone that puts the game in your hands!
Glitch’s Trip is a tough twin-stick platformer where Glitch has a special ability that allows him to become intangible to avoid threats. Knowing you can avoid damage at any point is comforting but it has its limits. We throw a lot at you and mastering the glitch mechanic will be your savior. Don’t worry though, we designed the game to allow you to bounce back from certain death quickly and get back right into the mix of things on your next run.
To celebrate, we have released a trailer that offers a glimpse of the wild gameplay we are cooking up as we push to finish the development of the game.
https://youtu.be/OriU7zMyBkk
Please reach out to us about feedback throughout our development process so your voice is heard. We will be active with the Steam community so we can mold the game into something special together.
If you are excited about Glitch's Trip, please consider giving the Early Access Trailer or any of our posts a 'like', 'share' or 'retweet' on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the game! -- Michael Coletti – Ransacked Studios
