"Glyph is perfect for a 15-minute pick up and play session or something you can struggle with for an hour. It&s;s a rewarding experience when you have mastered its controls. Soaring through the sky to the exit like a golf …"
Read original review"Glyph is a proposal as challenging as it is ingenious. A game that puts you to the test, that makes you measure how much patience and endurance you have. Handling our techno-beetle-pellet is an experience that must be tried at …"
Read original review"Honestly, a large part of me wonders if Glyph might have been better had it been a 2D platformer instead. As it stands now, it’s just too demanding and unbalanced for me to recommend to most gamers. But if you’re …"
Read original review"It’s that simplicity at Glyph’s core that keeps it fresh. Piloting the insectoid protagonist feels like learning to play with a toy (and it does kind of resemble a Bakugan, come to think of it). Even when you’re failing at …"
