Glitch Dash Reviews

by Bdubbou

GlitchDash starts out great! Giving you a tutorial, building you up to par for the levels ahead. Nope, first level mild difficulty. Second, difficulty spikes! That once feel good moment you had a level before that for getting by a tough section is now demolished by trap turns that lead to random walls manifesting on you and the ground just leaving out from underneath your auto scroller self. I’ve played other games that have done this same thing in better taste, they only ask for $$$ for more levels to unlock not more tries on the original installment. Beautiful artwork, poor presentation!

The outlook of this game seems fantastic. It has decent visuals, a bit of variety, and seems a bit well rounded as well. However, the songs to go along with the game sound like my arthritic grandmother sat down at a soundboard and slammed her fists down on the buttons in a fit of rage and delirium due to her mania and dementia. The disgusting beats are covered by a plethora of electronic sounds that seem as if they were made by a recording of my cousin playing with the settings of my uncle’s life support. The bass in each level is so underwhelming it makes me want to watch all 3 seasons of Bazaarkvark while plunking the hairs from my anus with a pair of flaming tweezers. Each level seems like a disappointing attempt to switch things up for the viewers, similar to every 2k and Madden game ever. Two stars.

As much as I like the game, I will swipe three times to the left and it keeps going straight... another occurrence was I swiped left and it jumped...
I have beat a few levels, but if I beat more I want something that allows me to increase the sensitivity of me swiping, or something more accurate. For now I will not uninstall GlitchDash because of the interest I hold for this game. It didn’t get 4.5 reviews for nothing.

This game is a great time waster. The music is awesome, and the movement feels very good. The things I don’t like about the game,?though, is the level design and lives system. Most of the level design requires memorization. This wouldn’t be a problem if the lives system wasn’t bad. But it is. You have lives, and once you reach 0, then you get three new ones after a 2 minuet timer expires. And after you lose all your lives 8 times... I actually don’t know. But you can get infinite lives for only $2.99! What I would add is making it so that if you get a perfect run, then you get 1 extra life. This would be a good risk reward mechanic, and the more casual players could just pay $2.99. Besides that, the game’s really good, and it’s free, so there’s no harm trying it out. It’s very good... for a mobile game. Which really only means it’s an okay game. But it’s fun, and you can kill time with it, which only one device that I own (Nintendo Switch) can do. Give it a try.

So I’ve pre-ordered the game before but maybe a couple minutes after playing it I noticed so many things that could possibly make it better.

First, I would suggest make it so that speed could change also.

Second, I think there should be an FOV setting because it looks a bit off when you run up close to an object.

Third, I think it would be cool to add in maybe a level creator so you can make your own levels. (Maybe)

Fourth, I think the music would be a lot better with chords, kicks, and snares. But the drums right now are used to often, so it makes the music a bit offsetting for the players experience.

Last, I think that there should be light modifications, because it looks bright right now but that’s the problem well for me. It’s to bright and it makes it a bit difficult to see where I’m going a bit. (Yes I’m turning down my brightness on my phone to make a difference in the POV)

I hope that a least some of my suggestions make it though. I know that the game took a while to make, but I know there are things that could be improved.

Thanks for reading! Good luck in future updates!

Music is good, graphics are excellent, the premise of the game is awesome, however the controls really leave something to be desired. The swiping to move feature feels sluggish, and half the time swiping to jump or duck ends up sliding you to the left or right. Which obviously results in you failing the level you’re on, had other friends try a particular level and all 4 of us swiped up to jump and yet ended up going left and dying, So it isn’t just me.

by Unknownkiller24

1st star removed because the game doesn’t require skill just memorization of parts where there will be two ways one is always wrong and one is always right and on the first try you pretty much have to rely on your luck and i hate the lives system because it is unfair because when you “memorize” the level by that time u won’t have any lives left

2nd star removed because of bad controls i hate the swiping wish there was a tap control or arrow keys you have to press and i wish u can move while in the air

The 3 stars are for 1-amazing music 2-amazing graphics 3-amazing frames and it never frame drops

I hate this game so much! I can’t put it down! It is soo hard because it requires memory and every time I die I have to keep playing! Great time waster! I would add more keys and more lives pls! Thx. I hate the new update. I am not allowed to spend money or purchase premium! Pls make other ways!
Hi lastly I suggest you should add practice mode cause the level I am on requires memorization so if there was practice mode I could learn to memorize. And I could have as much possible tries on practice mode🤗
Thanks for reading! Xoxo 🤩😝

I think this game is fun, but the thing is, once I got to the the level "Sky" it started acting weird. I tried to restart the level and the game went back to the title page. I thought I had just pressed the wrong button, so I clicked on the level again. It went to the screen it should have shown once I failed the first time. I tried to play the level again and it restarted my progress. But since this is such a fun game, I can't delete it!

Also, I have a suggestion: I think that you should be able to jump and slide earlier, because when I think I jump at the right place, I hit the obstacle I'm trying to jump over. I'm used to jumping and sliding earlier like I do on a lot of other games like this, which I'm sure some other people like me are having trouble with as well. But all in all, great game! I highly recommend it.

I really really want to like this game because of its awesome graphics and how cool and fun the game is, however I feel like it should count jumps and slides earlier, as with many other games I’ve played where jumping and sliding earlier would have the desired effect. Because of this i have a lot of difficulty playing, and I keep getting really frustrated because I know I’m swiping, but the game thinks it’s too early. I’m not completely ruling out the concept that I might just be really bad at it, but if you could improve that aspect it would be amazing. This game is so fun as it is and such a cool concept!! Although it may sound like I’m hating on it, I would totally recommend this game.

This game looks and sounds amazing. The music is completely integrated into the level design, and makes for a great experience.

However, the game still has an annoying feature where obstacles are only shown after you've chosen a path. You have no way of knowing whether you are about to lose a life until after you've gone down a corridor.

Overall, fun game, but still has flaws in level design as you progress.

I highly recommend this game it’s a time waster and it’s not to easy and not to hard I absolutely love this game it’s very addicting and the graphics are phenomenal and it’s super fun! This is like the only game I play and I only have 3 game on my phone because I’m very picky about games and I recommend it to all!!!!!!!!

by Hate Of Ads

The game is ok, but I drag almost straight up but the game did a sideways move many times and makes me lose my lives, I would be much happier if they made it so you don’t have to swipe straight up.

EDIT: this game does a little bit better at determining my swipe, but it still fail sometimes.

by Samuelgroosdy

Overall, this game is completely fantastic. The first person gameplay design makes it extremely immersive and unique, and the controls are wonderful, but what really makes this game stand out is that it takes an interesting idea and runs with it, perfecting it with level design, music, and graphics.

The music is spot on and keeps me motivated to continue playing, specifically the levels Arctic and Coastline. The difficulty is definitely high, but not to an unfair level. The levels each have unique themes with beautiful graphics. While at first I was slightly disappointed that all obstacles were red in every level, the background and variety of types of obstacles more than makes up for it. With a recent update, the levels are made much more skill-based.

This is a near-perfect game. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!

Started playing, got into it. Thought I’d spring for the “unlimited lives” option. Bought it through my Apple Pay, received confirmation of my purchase, then returned to the game to find a message saying “item sold out.” Well, isn’t that special? What a rip-off.

Update 3/2/18: quick and helpful response from Dave! I’m not used to such attentiveness from a developer. Think I’ll now go check on other apps he offers...

It’s like rolling sky but better. The music is *mwah* and the gameplay is authentic. Maybe I’m over exaggerating a bit, but I would really recommend this game to anyone. It’s got fun, simple to learn mechanics, and a sort of unique graphical style to it. I’d say the only thing this game needs is more levels and daily challenges. Other than that it is very addicting to play, and the fact that it’s not a paid app is great. I’ve had so much fun with this game so far and I’m excited for future updates.

I got this game expecting low stability with the type of game it was. But I was surprised! I have the iPhone 5s, and this game ran very nice!

Most infinite runners I play (well someone infinite), are low stability, but this runs like I’m playing on a super nice gaming PC!

Recommendations: I was thinking to add game modes. Maybe like a custom game: where you can set the speed of yourself, set the difficulty of the level, set the level to be infinite or not. And another game mode could be infinite: where the map is just like your normal level, but infinite, get faster as you run. But in the infinite game mode, you can’t set different settings. One other recommendation is map design. What I mean, is that we could be able to choose the look of the map we run on, and the map could relate to the music that plays in the background!

I know this may be a lot, don’t mean to put a lot on the dev group, but I’d thought it may be cool to maybe add these game modes!

Otherwise very fun game!

Easy purchase decision for me but can you please consider a user setting option for sensitivity controls (how much pressure is needed) when tapping on the screen to jump or swiping to dodge etc? I definitely notice, when comparing with other similar style of games, that I need to be mindful of pressing/swiping harder than what feels normal.

To Devs: Playing on the iPhone 10 i.e. X

Oh yeah! Way better! And the fact that I advanced 40% on the run I just did now (was stuck at 23% forever) is proof! Thank you SO MUCH! Thanks for loving your customers and for the great service! I’ll forever be your customer! Make many more apps now please 😂

First just let me say, I rarely ever write a review on games. But this one is definitely worth getting in my opinion. It is very challenging and frustrating too lol. Even though it can be very frustrating, I personally get a great sense of achievement when passing levels. Especially when achieving a “perfect run”. I’ve passed all the levels on “Classic” and “Classic +”. By no means was that easy to do. However I haven’t passed the “Blitz” and “Blitz +” modes…Yet lol.
I also really enjoy the second game “Super Glitch Dash”. I really hope that there will be another update with some new challenges, modes or anything like that. Hopefully for both games. Lastly I hope the developer(s) take this into consideration. In my opinion these are a couple of the most awesome and challenging games.🤘😎

Compared to all of the other free dash games, this one is spectacular! Great music, smooth FPS, and great gameplay and graphics. It offers just what I want in a dash game, a challenge and this game nails it! I remember a while ago I wrote an angry comment on this game because of the uncalled for deaths, but really I was just raging on a level I could not pass 😂. Without those deaths, it would lose its purpose as an impossible runner. (Sorry about that by the way)

Keep up the great work devs!
