GLITCH OUT

The level is broken. Pause the frame. Trust the moment.

How it plays

  1. Blocks only exist in frame

    A glitch block is solid only while part of its chain is inside the window around you. Out of frame it's a ghost, and you fall straight through it. One observed link keeps the whole chain solid.

  2. Pause the frame

    Press [K/X] and the frame freezes where you stand. The world stops updating. You don't.

  3. Move through a stopped world

    The frozen frame is a cage you can't leave. Climb what you trusted, then unpause: everything you pass is observed again, and the way back can seal behind you.

Coming to Steam

A bigger post-jam version is in development, starting with moving platforms that run while the frame is live and freeze flush against its border when you pause.
