## What is Glorkian Warrior?

BECOME A GLORKIAN WARRIOR! Visit awesome asteroids! Blast strange invaders!

Help Glorkian Warrior and his trusty Super Backpack fight against an endless onslaught of alien creatures.

In Glorkian Warrior, you play as a cadet out to prove his worth and maybe get a promotion or two. Your trusty Super Backpack will help you fend off the incoming attackers by firing a constant stream of lasers into the sky. Grab power-ups dropped by the enemies to gain temporary access to some Glorkin' good weapons. And if anything is too low to shoot, leap over it! It's good, classic shoot-em-up fun.

Defeated enemies will drop energy crackers. The more of them you grab, the more cool stuff you'll unlock. Even if you have a terrible run, you'll still make some progress! Try not to have a terrible run, though. It's really bad for our hero's confidence! You can get fun things like basketballs! New weapons! More basketballs, but these ones explode! There are even some fun comics featuring our daring protagonist, drawn by James Kochalka himself. What are you waiting for? Get out there and collect those energy crackers!

- Classic Shooting Action: Move side to side and shoot upwards, just like the old days!
- Wild Power-Ups: Not only can you get some different weapons, you can also pick up extra power-ups to make them faster or stronger! 
- Huge Bosses: Seriously, these aliens are so big! What is up with that?
- Tons to Unlock: New weapons, comics, decorations, and more! Become the President of Everything!
- Multiple Control Options: Choose the way that works best for you!
- Vibrant Graphics: It looks just like a cartoon! Who knew there were so many colors on these things?
- Based on James Kochalka's graphic novel “The Glorkian Warrior Delivers a Pizza"

GLORK!

### 3/5 — Used to better

*2022-07-31*

Used to love this game, great graphics, gameplay, sound and humor in a wonderful unified self contained package.  Then they added game club ads and now the game just makes me sad when I open it. Sure somebody is always going to try and capitalize off anything of quality by shilling junk at you; but this game was beautiful, and the ads feel like billboards slapped up in a national park.

### 5/5 — Flashback ramped up!

*2022-05-26, version 1.4.22*

This really takes me back to my Atari childhood playing Space Invaders, etc. I found out about this game by accident when looking for more James Kochalka graphic novels for the kids in my school library.

### 5/5 — Glorkian Warrior

*2020-07-27, version 1.4.13*

A brilliant game - seems so simple, but there’s enough variety in the behaviour of the various alien invaders, power-ups, and attack patterns that honestly no two games are ever the same. And there’s also the lovely James Kochalka look to the whole thing. It’s just the best. Seriously addictive and great fun.

### 5/5 — Glorkian Warrior rules

*2019-12-21, version 1.4.5*

I love this game. Best 2D shooter ever. Music is great too.

### 5/5 — Lost all of my progress

*2019-10-27*

Getting a lot of pop-ups to join the new club thing even though I've already bought the game.

I love this game so much... 6 stars

### 5/5 — Fun game! Yea 64 Bit!!!

*2017-12-11*

No IAP! No energy! The game has different control schemes and I've had no lag or crashes. Just a really fun game with lots of humor ! Definitely recommend! Thank you devs for updating the game to 64 bit!!!! This has always been one of my favorite IOS games!!!

### 1/5 — Buggy -- Not Fair!

*2017-09-07*

Guys, there's some serious controller issues with this game! 

No matter which control option I select, there inevitably seems to be a moment when the game goes haywire, sending Glork running or jumping of his own accord, ignoring my futile screen taps while he throws himself into alien fire. At first I thought it might be a hardware problem. But I've upgraded my phone a couple of times by now and the problems have persisted.

This is not fair!

Now look, I'm interested in my high score, here. Like the arcade classics this game evokes, pride is on the line. Currently, I'm ranked #64 on the Ace Leaderboard. I always play Ace, the most difficult setting. I believe in a hearty challenge, hard-won victories and fair play.

These control bugs must be fixed or else the game's fairness and credibility will be in question.

This (or any) game's only true asset, integrity, is on the line, too. Why, I was at Comic-Con only a year or two ago when I heard rumors that hackers had some how gamed Glork and set themselves atop the leaderboards with absurd high scores. If true, I've thus far chosen to believe that these issues have by now been long rectified. However, Glork's spazzing out and sabotaging my play almost every single session betrays at least some weakness in the design of its current iteration. Now I'm not sure I know what to believe. 

Glork is a great game. Please fix it. Fix it fast and fix it well. Fix it. Please.

And thank you. 

Yours truly, 

Len Kody

#64 in the World

### 5/5 — Best game ever.

*2017-08-19*

Seriously.

### 5/5 — Kochalka quality

*2017-06-28*

Big fan of both James Kochalka and PixelJam. This hand drawn pew-pew is a delight. Challenging, but absorbing, and packed with juicy unlocks. Play it!

### 3/5 — Glork?

*2016-12-29*

The game is a spectacular play, when it's playable. 
I recommend playing it on a pc rather than the app. The app continues to freeze and not save my progress which is found frustrating and dampening the enjoyment of the game.
