What kind of game is Glitchcade?
Glitchcade is two games in one cabinet. With her hacking device, the V-Jumper, Dalia can enter either arcade game and carry items between them. The catch is time: the old machines cannot handle wrong data for long, so every run is a race to find up to 3 items and work out what each one does in each game.
How to play
- Jump into one of the two arcades.
- Search for items. You can find up to 3 per run.
- Jump to the other arcade and try the items there; each item has a different use in each game.
- Beat the arcades before the machines crash.
