What is cityglitch?

In this free, single-player 2D puzzle game, a witch lights runes to free glitches trapped on city rooftops. Across 95 levels in seven cities, you move over runes on 5x5 boards while avoiding enemies that react each turn. Undo reverses one turn, while getting caught restarts the level.

For you if...

+you enjoy replaying puzzles to minimize your turn count
+you prefer mouse-only controls and short, self-contained levels

Not for you if...

−you want real-time action rather than turn-based problem solving
−you want easy puzzles throughout the game
