Galactic Glitch v1.09 - Balancing and Better Prototypes



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:

[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]
  • 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

[h3]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h3]
  • 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!



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!

Galactic Glitch v1.06 - Balancing and various Improvements



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:

[h3]Improvements[/h3]
  • 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

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • 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!

Galactic Glitch v1.05 - Fix for Black Void Bug and some Balancing



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:

[h3]Improvements[/h3]
  • Added Glitch Token drops from mid-game bosses
  • Buffed Void Dagger special attack damage
  • Increased Static Field power damage
  • Increased Sonic Boom range
  • Reward rooms in late-midgame are no longer hidden
  • Hidden rooms now always spawn connected to small rooms

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed the save/load bug causing players to be stuck in void
  • Fixed power sacrifice not being saved correctly
  • Fixed power list UI being too short when having 7 powers

[h3]Known Issues (will be fixed next week)[/h3]
  • Glitch bomb button binding gets reset on each restart
  • Overheal from Glitchspace healing is not loaded correctly from mid-run saves

We hope everyone is enjoying the game now that the balance is in a better place! We want to thank everyone again for their patience, feedback, and support during these first few days of rough balance. We hope the wait was worth it!

[h3]One Last Thing[/h3]
If you're enjoying Galactic Glitch and want to support our continued development, we'd really appreciate a review! It helps the game tremendously and motivates the team to keep improving. Thanks to everyone who has already reviewed. We really appreciate it!
Happy glitching!
