The Glitch Fairy

I had quite some fun on this game, even though it took me a while to beat at 100%! The dash is perfect for speedrunning some sections on the levels, and the difficulty ramps up in a natural way. There’s even hidden lore in some levels if you take your time to stop and get some rest on some libraries, which is a nice touch. The art’s very adorable, and the characters all stand out in their own way. Plus, the boss fights have great attack patterns that you can beat in your first go if you're familiar with other games such as Megaman X. Overall, I think that this game stands out on its own, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfy yet challenging platform game!

Very fun and well-made platformer. It never gets incredibly difficult but there's some solid challenges, even more so if you decide to dig deeper and go for everything; but it remains easily approachable throughout. Even if you're having trouble, most of the checkpoints are quite forgiving. The titular glitch mechanic is quite interesting as well, turning each enemy into a potential opportunity. Balanced by the fact that glitching is both a semi-limited, though easily refillable, resource, and the fact that glitching the wrong enemy in the wrong place just might make things more difficult. In either case, the game has a reset button you can use to restart a room at any point, which makes experimenting with glitches a relatively painless process. The story is great too, nice and light and fun on one level, though not without interesting depth. If you really want to get into it though, you can quickjly get to "red string and corkboard" territory. Also the art and character design is great. Love the hats. Also there's a demo, which is always a plus from me, and check it out if you're on the fence.

A very good game, the artstyle is pretty, the characters are actually funny and memorable, gameplay is solid, plot is interesting, music is nice to the ears and overall just a very fun game to play. The lack of visual cues on a couple of bosses make them slightly frustrating to fight, but it doesn't really ruin the game experience overall. Easy 8/10 right there, a very solid and passionate game!

I've only done the first 2 (story) levels, and already I can tell this is going to be a great game. The sheer amount of creativity on display in the levels is honestly great to see, along with having a quaint art style that takes me back to the olden days of flash games. Also, you get to fight a giant maple syrup jar, so easy recommendation from that alone!

A fun and charming platformer. I am not a platformer player but getting into the game was easy with infinite lives and snappy game play. The secrets and challenges offer more to do as one becomes better with the game and the feature ability of The Glitch Fairy, "glitching" enemies turning them from a danger into a platform or power up.

This appears to be a common retro style run and gun platformer, but there's so much more to it. The titular glitch effects make the levels (and especially the bonus content and secrets) very much a puzzle platformer. Graphically it's very nice, Monie is absolutely adorable and the animations are great. The little twirl she does when dashing, the crouch animation, and her dialogue images are all ridiculously cute. Level art is also pretty good, enough details to look nice without being overwhelming to look at. There are a lot of varieties of environments, each area is visually and mechanically distinct. Level design is also solid, it's not too hard to get through a level normally, but there's a lot of thought and puzzling to get to all the secrets. Combat is fine, it's typical run and gun though there aren't a huge amount of variations outside of artifacts that modify your shots and various temporary glitch effects. The glitch shot is probably the most interesting part. You can turn enemies into various tools to help you fight, platform, or move through a level. There are a lot of different effects and some of their uses aren't always immediately clear when you first encounter them. This gives the levels some replay value. Difficulty starts off not to bad, but it quickly gets difficult fast. Some bosses could take a dozen or two tries to get the patterns down. The drawback is that each "death" (called a nap) will remove 5 of your coins. These coins are used to buy consumables and permanent upgrades. A new player will never be able to accumulate enough coins to make use of these shops without doing a bunch of farming in one of the early levels. An experienced player who doesn't need the help of those upgrades won't have any problem getting the required coins. This makes the death penalty pretty harsh for the people who need the help and is a bit counter to how an upgrade system usually works. There is an easy mode with double the health and you only lose 1 coin per death, this is probably better to start with. Bosses are quite varied, there are a few you just need to platform and escape from, some you need to fight, and some of the later bosses have bullet hell inspired mechanics. If you played any of the Team Ladybug Metroidvanias you'd probably like these later bosses. The story has a lot of depth if you dig into the secrets of the game. Aside from the death penalty rewarding those who don't need it and punishing those who do, it's a really solid game and well worth a purchase if you like action platformers, retro style games, or fun puzzle platforming segments.

Oh where to begin. This game was such a whimsical and silly experience. However, don't let that turn you away because this game is also extremely fun and charming with it's cartoonish visual art style, unique characters and their personalities, and let's not forget the main protagonist herself Monie! After beating the game normally I wanted to learn more about the story, so I went and 100% the game and I have to tell you..it's SO worth it! I won't spoil anything but it has such an abrupt turn in tone that it would put most games made today to shame. The Good: -The movement is smooth and flowing, easy to learn and fun to master -The Glitch Power is such a unique and funny/fun way to handle enemies -The Art style is so lovable especially having some Touhou references in it -The different ways to gain powerups and make the game easier is fair but challenging to earn The Bad: The only bad thing I can think of (And it isn't bad, it's more of a personal preference) I really wished there was more focus on the 'Glitch' aspect in the game. The only thing you can manipulate with the Glitch power is basic enemies, 1 item, and **SPOILERS** to deal with one part of one boss. I wish you could do more with it! Like manipulate terrain or different items or even help you fight more bosses and get you an edge in a fight! It also isn't focused on in the story that much, only initially when you get the power and **SPOILERS** the other time you use it in the boss fight that it's mandatory in. Overall, I LOVE this game and it's charming little Fairy Hero! I look forward to it's Sequel and where Monie will go!
