Spot-The-Glitch
Spot the Glitch is a high-speed, roguelike perception puzzle game. The player acts as a digital auditor scanning data arrays for "corrupted" artifacts. The game blends the simplicity of "Odd One Out" puzzles with the strategic depth of a roguelike deck-builder.
Features
- High-Speed Perception: Rapidly identify the anomalous character in a grid of alphanumeric data.
- Roguelike Progression: Earn points to level up and visit the Protocol Shop every 5 levels.
- Deck-Building Strategy: Choose upgrades that boost your cleansing power, time limits, or grid size—but beware of usage costs!
- Boss Battles: Every 25 levels (plus Level 10), face off against unique bosses like The Void (Fog of War) or The Blinker (Visual Strobe).
- Artifact System: Defeating bosses grants powerful artifacts (e.g., Quantum Lens, Auto Patcher) that passively aid your run.
- Dynamic Difficulty: The grid grows, time shrinks, and anomalies become subtler as you survive deeper into the system.
Mechanics
- Thinking Time: A rapidly depleting timer forces quick decisions. Finding a glitch resets the timer (or extends it in Boss Mode).
- Integrity (Lives): Clicking a normal cell damages your system. Lose all integrity, and the session ends.
- Boss Modes:
- The Void: Obscures the grid; hover to reveal sectors.
- The Shifter: Shuffles the grid every few seconds.
- The Blinker: Grid fades in and out of visibility.
- The Virus: Anomalies multiply over time—find the original!
