Glitches are trapped in the city! Go city witch, fly between rooftops to light the ancient runes of power. Light them to complete the ritual and set the glitches free.
Beware! Glitches take on many forms. They haunt the rooftops as traps, spooks, and dark things that skitter. Scaredy cats will block your path and fearsome beasts will face you. Learn their movements to outwit them, and you'll progress to new cities with new challenges.
Cityglitch is a game of small, bite-sized puzzles. Take turns moving around the board as glitches move and react to you. If a glitch catches you it will restart the level, but don't worry, with each attempt you'll learn more clues to complete it. Cityglitch starts with simple puzzles but ramps up quickly to challenge you!

- Press on your character to see available moves
- Click to move to any tile that you can reach
- You can move any number of tiles in a straight line (like a queen in chess)
- Pass over runes to light them
- Light all the runes to complete the level
- Avoid enemies by understanding their movements
- Use UNDO to go back one turn
- Use RESTART to try the level again
- Complete levels in the fewest possible turns to master them
Features:
- Simple point and click controls
- Easy to play but offers deep challenge
- 95 tricky levels across 7 cities

Came back to it years later to finish it off. Very nice idea and visuals, but not a fan of minimum possible moves as an achievement yardstick. Good game, tho.
Definitely challenging puzzle game. The constraints in design were definitely a good choice to create enough variety for the extremely simple mechanics.
Puzzle difficulty is all over the place, however. Some are easy and meant to teach you the mechanics, some are intuitive enough that you can do on your first try, but from the 3rd world onwards you start seeing puzzles that even brute-forcing them becomes complicated. Not going to lie: I did use the guide to solve some levels, or to get the optimal solution in some cases. It does help to understand that each level tries to push for a specific theme, and hence the puzzle names, and sometimes you have to "solve backwards" to be sure you can reach the end-state.
If there was literally only one thing I could change? Give each pair of teleporters unique identifiers to differentiate them upon sight; some of the latter levels' complexity stems from having to track the position of too many elements that swap positions. If there was a second change I'd love to have markers to show which pieces move in what order, given that some puzzles rely on their order of movement. But if both of these things were addressed, it would ruin the (beautiful) aesthetic of the game, probably... So hands tied, I guess?
Definitely a good puzzle game though. If you like the genre you should definitely get it.
pretty cute
The gameplay is simple: You control the little pink-haired witch and can move any distance in eight directions every turn. Your goal is to light all the magic runes on the level by moving over them, but if an enemy steps on one it will extinguish and you have to light it again.
The game is entirely confined to little 5x5 grid levels. I was skeptical at first. What kind of level design can you do on 25 tiles? As it turns out, quite a lot. The game mixes its few different enemy types plus environmental tiles (walls, teleports, death tiles) into quite a variety of levels, each of which puts a clearly formulated challenge to the player.
Levels can be simply cleared or beaten in the minimum number of moves. Doing the former isn't too difficult until later in the game, but the latter really brings out the surprising amount of complexity in the mechanics. If you're looking for a challenge, this is it. Most levels can be cleared in around ten moves. It doesn't feel like that should be too difficult but some levels made me give up after exhausting all the ideas I could come up with (damn those cats). Of the levels where I did find the solution I can say that you often need a flash of insight revealing an unlikely move as a different, more effective strategy to beat a level.
What I want from a puzzle game is, a non-derivative set of simple mechanics that fit well together, tight and varied level design, and a bit of challenge. This game takes a place in my short list of games on steam that fit the bill.
cityglitch seems simple at first, however underneath the beuatiful retro pixel graphics, lies deeply frustrating, well thought out and clever puzzles to work your way through. Well worth the very small price tag.
7/10
The puzzles are really fun, and the art is great
