We Have a Wiki!

Big news - we now have an official Galactic Glitch Wiki! We're building out a proper knowledge base for all you pilots who want to dive deep into builds, strategies, and game mechanics. We could really use your help! The wiki is community-driven, and there's a lot of content to fill in. We especially need help with the Enemies section - we don't have in-game images for most of them yet, and documenting all their behaviors and attack patterns would be incredibly valuable for new players. If you're the kind of person who loves cataloging game info, or you just want to share that killer build you discovered, come check it out and contribute! Check out the Wik: https://galacticglitch.wiki/

Thank You!

Galactic Glitch v1.8 - The Core Access Update

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcements

236d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/5ae12f2acab1147807dc44d7a5fd8b7d8db3bc37.png Hey everyone! First off - thank you so much for the incredible support! We've now crossed over 500 reviews, and seeing so many of you enjoying Galactic Glitch means the world to us. Your feedback has shaped every update we've made, and this one is no exception. We've been working hard since the Corrupted Reality update, taking in tons of community feedback and making something we're really proud of. This is, by far, our biggest update since 1.0 - and it's packed with new content that we can't wait for you to experience. We're adding the final Boss Orb level with Serenity taking center stage, a completely new game mode, nine new powers, new enemies, and so much more. Let's dive in!

The Final Boss Orb Level - BO5

The journey continues! Boss Orb 5 is finally here, bringing the ultimate challenge for veteran pilots. You'll face powerful new bosses - including a completely new final boss that we don't want to spoil. We've also polished some of the other boss fights based on your feedback. The Fractured Frontier level especially has a much more interesting boss fight now - thanks to everyone who gave us feedback on that!

Golden Upgrade Protocols

A new type of UP for experienced pilots! Golden UPs are rare, powerful upgrades that only appear once you've proven yourself. They're available in BO1 and higher, must be unlocked through gameplay, and when they show up - they're sure to give your runs a serious boost! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/c999a9ae6f863167db91d759a99257785ee4da18.png

Run Challenges - A Whole New Way to Play

This is the feature we're most excited about! Run Challenges add an entirely new layer of replayability for players who've mastered the base game and want something fresh.

Build a new room in the Hub to unlock Run Challenges
Take on specialized challenges with unique modifiers and conditions
Try challenges like TrueGlitch, Backstab Dancer, and Corrupted Reality
Each challenge has a difficulty rating so you know what you're getting into
Unlock brand new Golden UPs by completing challenge runs

We've seen so many of you asking for more endgame content - this is our answer!

Prototype Upgrades

Prototypes can finally be upgraded! Any ship that has beaten BO3 or higher will be able to upgrade and unlock more Power slots for more destructive power and crazier combinations. We can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

New Powers

Nine new powers join the roster:

Orbiting Stun - Orbiting satellite stuns enemies on contact
Dark Maelstrom - Thrown objects leave a damaging vortex
Boost Bomb - Charge while boosting, release to explode
Brutal Breakdown - Ripping parts off enemies triggers explosion
Dash Slash - Slice through enemies while dodging
Minion Multiplication - Reviving wrecks spawns bonus minions
Shield Guardian - Periodically shields nearby allies
Railgun Minion - Summons a minion that fires railgun shots
Bullet Ballet - Spray bullets all around while boosting

It's becoming quite the collection... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/49c54b05e8fd1c5d7b93025342b78408f2950977.png Plus, you can now sell powers you don't want through a new Hub upgrade! No more being stuck with powers that don't fit your build.

Polish & Improvements

We've added tons of polish across the game:

New power effects and UP pickup visuals
Fresh music tracks for bosses and the Hub
Better camera zoom during boss fights
Faster gamepad map scrolling
Auto-pickups no longer spam popups

We've also done a balance pass on the game - reducing the crazy amount of Glitch Bombs for example - and we think it plays much better now! And of course, we've fixed lots of bugs thanks to the community (shout out to skipydog!). Your bug reports really help us make the game better with every update.

Thank You!

We're incredibly excited about this update - it's the culmination of months of work and community feedback. The Core Access Update brings Galactic Glitch to a whole new level, and we can't wait to see you all take on the new challenges, discover the Golden UPs, and finally reach that true ending! If you're enjoying the game, please consider leaving a review on Steam! Reviews really help spread the word about Galactic Glitch and help us continue development. Every single review makes a difference, and we read all of them. Join us on Discord to share your feedback, report bugs, or just chat with the community. We're always listening!

Galactic Glitch v1.09 - Balancing and Better Prototypes

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcements

411d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/8549baceb73fd8c3992c333bbe8b96bf4c76b709.png Hey everyone! Thanks everyone for all your feedback on weapons and Powers! Based on it, we're now making some important balance changes, to reel in a few Powers that seemed to be just super-op (looking at you Perfect Payout). In exchange, we're also buffing a whole bunch of weapons and especially the two more advanced Prototype ships to make them a lot more interesting and fun to play! Nox is getting a permanent poison trail, whose damage now scales with the amount of Upgrade Protocols you gather. And Frostbite's freeze ability is now a lot stronger, able to stop enemies in their tracks, even when dashing, and even stopping them from turning to aim at you! We also buffed a bunch of weapons, and also nerfed the op Flash Spear a little bit. It's still a pretty sweet deal of a gun, but just not quite as completely bonkers-overpowered as it was before. Here's the full changelist:

Balance Changes

Buffed damage on Railgun, Arakh Double Cannon, and Stabilized Quantum Beam
Buffed Quickshot damage and push, reduced slowdown
Nerfed Perfect Payout (reduced doubling chances)
Reworked Quick Fix power (it now doesn't block pickups, and heals correctly)
Adjusted Stunning Entrance power (now does damage at higher levels, instead of stunning 4+ seconds)
Reduced slowdown on Firefly Thrower
Reduced Flash Spear main and special damage
Prototype ship: Nox's poison trail is now way longer and scales with upgrades
Prototype ship: Frostbite's freeze effect is now much stronger, and also affects enemy aim

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Fixed Nexus arrows not appearing in Cybervoid
Fixed double item spawning on shop spots
Fixed SpiderWeb effect on all enemies
Improved prototype switching speed

Hope you like these changes! As always, we're listening to your feedback on how to make the game more balanced and fun! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/7ca4654e774aac78fbe8710bae4b92aec480c8c1.png Btw, you can see which level you have beaten the game with on each of your Prototype ships. Soon, we'll be adding a new feature that let's you unlock additional stuff with each Prototype that has beaten Sim+++. So if you're looking for a challenge, why not give one of the other Prototype ships a spin? Enjoy the game and happy glitching! - Max and the GG team Discord: https://discord.gg/6jPYbpZa2g

Galactic Glitch v1.06 - Balancing and various Improvements

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcements

414d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/8549baceb73fd8c3992c333bbe8b96bf4c76b709.png Hey everyone! We're back with v1.06, focused on improving the Celestial District level, and balancing early and mid-late game. For balancing, we're increasing the chance of finding Glitch Charges in shops, making the early game a bit more reliable in terms of their availability. We're also buffing the big heal items' effect, and increasing the effect of all Upgrade Protocols as you gain more. Basically, we've tuned down the diminishing returns as you gain more of each kind. For the Celestial level, we tuned down the background brightness, to make it easier to actually see the enemies and their attacks. We've also tuned the rotation speed on some enemies, to make their tracking a bit easier to handle. We're very curious what you think of these changes and of the level as a whole! We've also buffed some Powers and weapons, and finally fixed the Void Dagger special attack (thanks @Faust!). Red Challenges in Poisoned Reaches and The Scrapyard should also be a bit more balanced and less crazy now. Here's the full list of changes:

Improvements

Upgrade Protocol effects degrade slower
Higher chance of Glitch charges in shop
Large heal pickups now restore 50% more health
Reduced rotation speed on several enemies (Poisoned Reaches and Celestial District)
Buffed Flash Spear damage and special attack
Made some armored enemies easier to damage
Buffed Void Dagger special attack and added SFX
Buffed Shrapnel Explosion power
Improved Celestrial Distrcict level visibility
Tweaked some red challenge rooms to be more fair

Bug Fixes

Fixed damage display on Flash Spear
Fixed damage display on Boomerang Blaster
Removed distortion effect on Frostbite prototype's dodge

We're continuing to fine-tune the balance based on your feedback. Feel free to let us know your thoughts on the game's current balance! We're always listening and happy to hear your feedback! Happy glitching! - Max and the GG team Discord: https://discord.gg/6jPYbpZa2g

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/462923838ebb49d53060e935c53dbe9f42b4c058.png Hey everyone! It's been five days since our release, so you know what time it is - time for v1.05! We focused most our time yesterday and today on finding the save/load bug that was leaving players stuck in the black void and unable to continue. It should be fixed now for any save that had the issue, and we also made sure it doesn't happen again in the future. Sorry to anyone that had the issue, and thanks for your patience and help in sending us your save files, it helped a ton! We also took the chance to make some more balance changes based on player feedback, for example we've buffed several powers, buffed the Void Dagger special attack, and added Glitch Token drops from the mid-game big bosses to help with your power progression. Here's the full list of changes:

Improvements

Added Glitch Token drops from mid-game bosses
Buffed Void Dagger special attack damage
Increased Static Field power damage

Galactic Glitch v1.04 - Fixing the Difficulty #2

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcements

416d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/8549baceb73fd8c3992c333bbe8b96bf4c76b709.png Hey everyone! It's been just half a day since our last update, but we've been listening closely to your feedback and realized the balance in the later levels is still not quite right. We've decided to remove the occurrence of elite enemies in those levels entirely now, and also made many more significant changes to make the difficulty progression more appropriate. We're increasing the availability of healing, by doubling the health buff you get from the Glitchspace recharge station, by adding more crates in later levels, and by guaranteeing at least one heal item per Shop, and at least one shop per level. Corrupted teleporters rewards have also been significantly upped, so it should now be much more worth the risk to take one. Here is the full list of changes:

Improvements

Removed elite enemies on later levels of Boss Orb 1
Reduced their spawn rates on Boss Orb 2
Increased health from Recharge Stations in Glitchspace
All shops now have one guaranteed healing item
Improved rewards from corrupted teleport rooms
Increased crate spawn rates in later levels
Buffed Hurricane and Poison Dodge powers
Reduced size of sectors in Quarantine level
Increased minimum damage bonus from red Upgrade Protocols

Bug Fixes

Fixed Void Dagger DPS display (it was showing 4x the real amount)

We're always listening to your feedback, and it's helping us make the game better with every update. Please let us know what you think of these difficulty changes or any other feedback you have, it all helps a ton! Thank you so much for your patience as we fine-tune the balance. We know it can be frustrating when the difficulty isn't quite right, and so we'll keep doing our best to get as close as possible to that sweet spot! Have fun and happy glitching! - Max and the GG team Discord: https://discord.gg/6jPYbpZa2g

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

416d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/462923838ebb49d53060e935c53dbe9f42b4c058.png Hey everyone! It's the fourth day since release and here's our fourth update! This one's a bit smaller as it's the weekend and most of the team is taking some well-deserved time off. Still, we've got some fixes and improvements to share with you. We've focused on many smaller changes that will hopefully address some issues you guys have brought up to us since yesterday. Mainly there's a fix for the Void Ring and Void Dagger creating weird physics issues, as well as a fix for the Void Ring's visual being a bit too distracting. We also reduced the upgrade costs of the high-level hub upgrades, especially the "Roguelite mode" ones. Please let us know how you like the new balance in the comments!

Improvements

Reduced price of high-level meta-upgrades
Reduced red screen overlay when on low health
Made red challenge portals bigger and easier to spot
Made big heal pickups larger and easier to tell apart
Increased chance for Glitch Token duplication on Glitch bomb hit
Fixed timed reward after completing Cybervoid level
Improved Void Ring visuals for better visibility in combat

Bug Fixes

Fixed physics issues with Void Ring and Void Dagger special attacks
Fixed some missing power sprites
Fixed power upgrade texts for Hurt me Plenty and Cohesion Boost
Fixed Quarantine level name not showing on hub map

We hope you like our weekend mini-update! Btw, we're still curious to hear your feedback for the new difficulty balance since 1.03, so please do share any thoughts in the comments!

Galactic Glitch v1.03 - Fixing the Difficulty

Max | Crunchy Leaf Gamessteam_community_announcements

417d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/8549baceb73fd8c3992c333bbe8b96bf4c76b709.png Hey everyone! We've been listening closely to all your feedback since the 1.0 launch, and one thing has come through loud and clear: the difficulty scaling is too punishing and the game becomes frustrating. We hear you! We are reducing enemy health and damage for all later levels, and are also reducing the scaling effects for all higher Boss Orbs. This will mosly affect the later levels of the run (past Behemoth Boss), but can also be noticeable before. We've increased the Crate spawn rate and we also doubled the HP on Crates, so they don't get destroyed so easily in the chaos of the later zones. Besides this, there are some smaller balance changes that will hopefully make runs more balanced and fun. We've added more opportunities for gaining Upgrades Protocols, as well as healing items. We're also buffing all prototypes: All ships now get one Power Slot more, as well as a minimum 5 hp bonus from green UPs (even the back-stabby Ravager). Speaking of our backstabby buddy, we now gave him an additional speed buff as well, so he should be much more playable now. Here is the full list of changes:

Improvements

Reduced enemy damage in later levels
Reduced enemy base health on later levels
Reduced enemy health bonus by Boss Orb level
Doubled Crates hitpoints
Added health drop from red challenges
Increased power slots on all Prototypes
Added speed buff to Backstabber prototype
Added reward for beating optional Mini-Boss
Increased reward rooms in later levels
Higher crate spawn rate in later levels
Slightly buffed invincibility time after taking damage
Green Upgrades bonus power now give faster special charge rate
Increased minimum hp bonus from green Upgrades
Special energy drains slower after inactivity
Added more upgrades in Roguelite mode
Shield Overload power buffed
Deployable Shield now works on familiars

Bug Fixes

Fixed Glitch Wall sometimes not unlocking when bombed
Fixed various issues with Sentinel boss
Fixed Cerberus boss colliders
Fixed QuickFix power upgrade display
Various other minor fixes

We hope you'll find this version a lot more enjoyable, especially in the later stages of your runs. We want Galactic Glitch to be challenging but fair, and we hope these changes bring us closer to that sweet spot. We're very curious to hear what you guys think, so please feel free to share your thoughts. We also put together this starter guide for the game, with lots of useful tips and tricks for players getting started with GG: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3493806313 Thank you all again for your feedback so far.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44115932/462923838ebb49d53060e935c53dbe9f42b4c058.png Hey everyone! We've been listening closely to your feedback since the 1.0 launch, and we've heard a few complaints about the intense difficulty. While the game was always intended to be a challenging experience, we do want to make sure that it's also enjoyable, even on those not so great runs. So today's update focuses on making the game more rewarding while keeping the challenge fair. We've buffed crate hp and drops, greatly increased rewards from corrupted teleports (the ones where you take damage), and increased the chance of reward rooms throughout your runs. We've also made more powers accessible from the start of the run, to increase variety. Here's everything that's changed in v1.02:

Improvements

Better crate drops and increased crate health
Much increased rewards from corrupted teleports
Higher chance to spawn reward rooms in levels
Increased minimum rewards from mixed crates
Buffed shotgun special attack
Removed some power unlock requirements
Tweaked Cerberus boss fight for better fairness
Adjusted several enemy attack patterns and difficulty
Improved camera focus during Cerberus boss fight

Bug Fixes

Fixed shop rerolls not working
Fixed mini-boss healthbar not appearing
Fixed mini-boss blocking room progression
Fixed some enemies being immune to player poison
Fixed post-Behemoth glitchspace teleport not appearing
Fixed various enemy behavior issues
Fixed Cybervoid name not showing in Hub Map
Fixed enemy grenades doing damage when destroyed by player

We'd love to hear what you think about the balance of the game. We will keep actively listening and balancing the game to make sure it's always a fair challenging yet fair experience. Keep the feedback coming!

Also, thank you so much to everyone that sent feedback, we've been super hard at work fixing bugs that popped up and improving many other things that you guys mentioned! We've also swapped out some of the music tracks that were causing creators and streamers to get copyright claims. We're very sorry if you were affected by that! Here's the full changelist:

Improvements

Added more starting Powers for variety
New music tracks for Tutorial and Asteroid levels
Added new music tracks for Quarantine, Docks and Cybervoid
New layered backgrounds for Cybervoid
Increased Cybervoid difficulty (harder enemies, no more crates!)
Rebalanced Cerberus boss fight
Improved some loading screens

Bug Fixes

Fixed the Glitch Gate not opening issue
Fixed System Override not creating drones when upgraded
Fixed Cybervoid neutral enemies not attacking
Fixed some map icon sizing
Fixed Orbs not displayed on 21:9 resolution
Fixed Sim Level HUD icon not updating when infusing boss orbs

To our Community

You guys, our community, guided us all through Early Access, and we’re incredibly thankful for that. We made really big development changes based on your feedback, like adding mid-run saves, improving the NG+ system, or completely reworking weapon upgrades (twice!). Version 1.0 keeps following that path, with highly requested features like the new Prototype starter ships, more secrets to find and areas to explore, and a much improved Power upgrade system. Going through Early Access with you guys has been a real blast! Thanks for being part of this journey with us!

Beta Test

As we announced before, we're planning a beta phase about a week before release (so in about 2 weeks from now), which will be available to all EA players. That will be your chance to jump into the new content early and try out all the new goodies the game has to offer, before everyone else jumps in! We're super happy and excited to finally get the 1.0 version into your hands! It's going to be a blast! See you in a couple weeks! The Galactic Glitch Team Discord: https://discord.gg/6jPYbpZa2g
