If there is any advice I can give, it's go in blind! I knew literally nothing about the game when I booted it up and it has been one hell of a ride! A rollercoaster of emotions with twists and turns. I don't want to spoil anything but the writing is fantastic and at points had me wiping away tears. I enjoyed the games choice in aesthetic and the music SLAPS (pardon the pun) Highly recommend

What a ride. Seriously, how much did you guys smoke to come up with such game? xD This is a really creative and funny game, with an actually good story and blasting music. I had some good laughts and now, after finishing it, I'm feeling a bit sad that it is already over. But still need to find some secrets and get remaining achievements, so maybe will end up with ~15h playtime. Didn't encounter any crash or bugs and …

TL;DR~ Highly recommend; please go in blind and experience the chaos for yourself, you’ll not regret it! It’s genuinely one of the funniest and most enjoyable games I’ve played this year, decade, even. GlitchSPANKR is the kind of chaotic brilliance that makes you wonder, “why hasn’t anyone made this before?” Every level feels like its own little pocket universe; unique, fun, beautifully designed in a gorgeous art …

A fantastic game well worth the price of admission. For as simple as it is to play it always tries to keep things interesting somehow, with goofy writing and a shockingly good set of music tracks it'll keep you invested just long enough to reach for that final ending. Edit: There is one minor issue to note when playing the game. I do still thoroughly recommend trying it out because of how very creative and enjoyable …

Players who liked GlitchSPANKR talk about hilarious and well-written story with twists; those who didn't talk about aI-generated music in some levels is off-putting. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing. It's really hard to explain without spoilers. This is one of the most unquie games I've ever seen. It has Amazing voice acting, a large gameplsy variety, and an interesting story with a few twists. Don't like the weirdness of the gsme make you not want to try it, because you will end up regretting it

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jesse Cox talked about this years a go. I played the Demo it was good. The game its self is SO full of lore and witty humor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was not long after starting up the game that the quality level and work put into the game became apparent. This is a very well written, very well voiced, and very enjoyable game. Every path I've taken I have been continuously impressed withe the variety and its ability to create tone. It's not Inscryption, but I'd say it's very close to being the comedic counterpoint to it,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games it’s good to just purchase and dive into. A game which sets you up for exploration and it’s best to not have any potential spoilers on the narrative. At around 5-7 hours of playtime, I have been entertained and want to keep exploring. I would note the following (non-spoilers): Each level has different objectives/mechanics/experiences, which you would do well to just go through yourself. The game does offer the ability to jump back to a level with a significant choice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was not expecting how funny this game is . 100% need to go in blind. Its like stanley parable and jazz punk had a baby
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm about 75% through this game now and so far I have been really enjoying it - if you are a fan of level based games where there is an overarching story BUT each level is unique and fun and CREATIVE then this will satiate this need. It reminds me a little bit like those 2000s arcade platform games where you have a fun little hub to go to after every challenge and little collectables along the way for those people who like to go on an easter egg hunt. A lot of the past reviews seem to be a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mean the premise is good and the gameplay is funny, but the humor is hit and miss (mostly hits but the misses are big swings) and the AI music, while only being in a couple levels (as far as I know), was really difficult to listen to.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →phenomenally written and put together game. so far i have only finished one of the "endings" while there are over five. ill start with saying i LOVE how this game does its multiple endings. there is no need to go back and play through the entire game like a lot of releases. this game allows you to go back and pickup right at decision making moments that change the storyline/endings. The music is simplistically fun and addictive. the soundtrack is available on streaming which was a big…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →!!! Warning: Very mild spoilers !!! This game is so so good! It wasn't one I paid much attention to, until my friend recommended it, saying it was her favorite game of the year. I tried the demo first- The beginning is very silly and full of puns, and had me laughing and scoffing at the absurdity of it- but the game pivots to be shockingly deep, and there have been multiple instances where I was genuinely frightened. As soon as I finished the demo, I rushed to buy the full game to pick up…

Perhaps even return later with more game time to perk up the review and all that. But to be honest, if there is one game you want to go into blind, it’s probably this one! Just let it happen and just let it blow you away <3 Something that for me already happened in the demo, but the full version is just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the heck out of the demo and I haven't gotten through all the demo content yet, but there's still all kinds of added stuff to enjoy. A bigger HQ, more secrets, more story elements, and even a special newsletter level with the same humor I enjoyed from the demo. If you like a bit of potty humor (pun very much intended) I think you'll like this game. Most of it is walking around spanking things, but there are some segments with different aspects/gameplay like parkour or tower defense.…

But it's good weird, not bad weird, and just the right amount of weird. It's fun to play, remarkably polished, the story is well written, the voice acting is top notch, and you get to spank everything. Spank to create, or spank to destroy...the choice is yours. I've been deeply moved, laughed until my sides hurt, and haunted by living nightmares by this game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is incredible, and just gets better the longer you play it. To those who find the character Spunk a little annoying at first, I beg that you stay with it a bit longer, as he does ease WAY back with the remarks about 1/4 into the game. The story also takes a dark turn, especially if you find all the hidden levels and extras and make it to the true ending. Also, the soundtrack slaps (pun not intended, I swear). If anything, I almost wish the game was longer. It's still plenty long for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im a huge sucker for "game within a game" schtick and glitchSPANKR scratches the same itch that Pony Island or Inscryption did in the past. Silly premise, darker undertones, fun music, LOTS of minigames and even more secrets to uncover. You never know whats behind the next corner.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked this game up because a streamer couldn't handle the voice and stopped playing 30 minutes in. GlitchSPANKR has so much to it, if it was just a funny game sure I could get being annoyed by the voice but gosh there's so much more to the game. So many secrets, references to other games, a shockingly deep story, fun unlocks and fantastic characters. I highly recommend this game, I promise you, even though spunks voice is slightly grating to the ears they will grow on you with story (you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a super fun time with this game. Really nice metafictional story that reminded me a lot of The Stanley Parable or Virtual Virtual Reality. The secret hunting base decoration stuff is also a great diversion to break up the linearity of the story, plus some of the tricks they pull (the giant kitchen off the top of my head) give that sort of brain tingle of something like Myhouse. Plus the little touches like the main menu being the "irl" bedroom were really satisfying. I feel like similar…

There was a lot more than I expected to this game, and it's one of the best games I've played in a long time. It's been a while since I started something up that I couldn't pull myself away from. There are quite a few different endings, a lot of secrets, loads of customizations, and just loads of fun to be had! It has a super well written story, great humor that doesn't go…

This is fetishist content, and the final straw was getting the line: "Tiny spank for the tiny booty." (possibly paraphrased, I am trying to forget this line ever existed). I would like to request for a review of the hard drives of anyone associated with developing this game. There's no getting over how uncomfortable this game feels at times. Some levels are characters begging or…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still in progress. Absurd premise. Different endings but not forced to replay everything to get to decision points. Easy to tell where missed content and secrets are. Music is ridiculous. Some levels are a real challenge, but many are just bashing items which is nice.
