Glitch was a browser based video game launched in 2011 and closed in 2012. The game featured activities such as completing quests, growing plants and cooking food, and there was a levelling up system in place where skills were gained, upgrades earned, and achievements to aspire towards. There was also a trading aspect, where products grown or crafted could be sold for currants, the currency of Glitch. I was a BETA tester of Glitch joining September 2011, and enjoyed my short time there, getting 313 achievements,102 skills, and 101 upgrades.
Thankfully, despite closing over ten years ago, the website is still up as a type of memorial, with the encyclopedia, user profiles, and game files freely available to access. To get a sense of what Glitch was like, I suggest scrolling through the images uploaded to this “Snaps” section.
Due to making most resources of Glitch becoming public domain, there are a few forks/remakes which aim to keep the game alive. Notable ones are Children of Ur, Eleven, and Odd Giants. Although I have not played any of them, Odd Giants appears to be regular updated and is sustained through Patreon, and I may one day try it out.
Below, for preservation purposes, I have copied over details of my avatar I used to play Glitch with, as well as some saved pictures.
