After 10 years in the making, German indie developer Crunchy Leaf Games is excited to announce that Galactic Glitch will be released today on Steam Early Access at a price of 12.99 EUR | USD, with a 25% launch discount during the first week.

Galactic Glitch is a unique twin-stick roguelike shooter with physics-based combat. Mixing the top-down arena combat of Bubble tanks, the fluid and frantic action of Dead Cells, and a healthy dose of unbelievable physics mechanics, the game challenges the idea of what a top-down shooter should be.

Use your grav gun to exploit physics, catching and slingshotting rocks and mines off the walls of the arena. Manipulate enemy rockets and fling them back in their faces, rip parts off enemies to use them as weapons, or even grab and launch enemies into each other.

“Galactic Glitch has been a labor of love for over 10 years, starting with our passion for Flash games like Bubble Tanks. The moment we added physics in 2014, everything clicked. Then, playing Dead Cells in 2017 showed us exactly how we wanted our game to feel—an ultra-fluid, physics-driven space roguelike. So in 2020, as Covid hit, we restarted development in earnest and now, 4 years later, our dream game is finally ready for its Early Access release. We look forward to hearing what players think, and improving and expanding the game based on their feedback!” – Max Dohme, lead developer at Crunchy Leaf Games
