About

GLYPH

Features
Read full description

GLYPH is a corrupted terminal dream โ€” a minimalist precision platformer rendered entirely in glowing monospace glyphs on a black screen. You are @, a single character racing through a decaying machine. Run, jump, dash and wall-jump past spikes and patrolling enemies to reach the exit. Every procedurally generated level is verified solvable by a headless physics solver โ€” so there are no dead ends, ever, and no two levels are alike. โ€ข 100+ levels across three difficulties โ€” easy, medium and hard each play differently โ€ข Endless, always-fresh procedural levels, every one certified beatable โ€ข NOW IN 3D โ€” flip a switch in settings and play the same levels as a live, volumetric neon world with a cinematic camera โ€ข Cinematic post-race REPLAY theater, with shareable video export โ€ข Keys and doors, switches, limited-dash runs, bounce pads, conveyors, sawblades, collectibles and crumbling bridges โ€ข Style combos and bronze / silver / gold par medals on every level โ€ข Tight, responsive controls built for one-more-try runs โ€ข NEARBY VERSUS โ€” race a friend on the same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (or the built-in bot), head-to-head; first to the exit wins the level, and the match tracks who's leading across the session โ€ข A hypnotic CRT aesthetic: scanlines, chromatic aberration, pure phosphor green No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you, the terminal, and the exit.
