Product received for free

Glitch Simulator is such a lazy Game Guru Engine project that I literally remade the entire game in under 15 minutes.

No I'm not even kidding you can play the version I made for free and it's nearly the exact same experience because Glitch Simulator 2018 uses stock Game Guru assets that anyone who has the program can use.

That's all Glitch Simulator 2018 is. A blank map, some terrain raised to form a box around an area, two types of zombie characters and an assassin model copied a few dozen times and three buildings of which two are missing textures.

The terrain doesn't even stop you from exiting the area, you can just glide up the wall and run as far as you want.

There are no "glitches" to speak of or anything that remotely resembles a video game product. Textures are missing and the A.I gets stuck or flies in the air, but these are all basic problems with Game Guru that the developer had no hand in.

You are given a stock asset shotgun, magnum pistol and dagger. All you can do is walk around the area and kill the same enemies over and over.

Even the menu is the stock Game Guru menu. There is no logo, about page or indication of any time/effort the developer could be bothered to make.

Don't even purchase Glitch Simulator 2018 as a joke for your friend because there isn't anything humerous in the game, it just flat out sucks.

LMAO ... I think some of you may have just been suckered ... Especially Steam.
All credit to the dev for doing that :)

@Lord of Beer The fee was never intended to stop hack developers trying to take the piss. When the fee was originally introduced for Greenlight (yes, I know we've since moved on to Direct), it was purely designed to be a roadblock for joke games like 'HURF LAIF THWEE", by children who weren't even TRYING to sell their crap on the store.

Valve is still definitely doing a piss-poor job of curating it's store, but the $100 fee itself is working as intended.

Can't believe games like this still exist. Ty for the review.

@🔴 Law: Yeah, it's us PC gamers that are more likely to buy any kind of crap developers throw our way. I personally don't care, to be honest. Go enjoy your exclusives [http//%F0%9F%94%B4+Law]

@🔴 Law : What's your console of choice? I'm pretty sure we could find some utterly crappy games on it that a few people bought.
