Glyph vs MapleStory
Glyph
Glyph is a marble-based platformer designed to specifically delight speedrunners. The game puts you into the little legs of a scarab as it rolls across various increasingly challenging obstacle courses, collecting keys, coins, and artifacts along the way. As you unlock new sections of the ancient temple and complete more levels, you’ll eventually reveal the story behind the desert world you find yourself in, and why the sand is like lava (will kill you when touched) here.Glyph is one of those indie games that will definitely surprise you. The controls feel smooth and responsive, a crucial factor in platformers that sometimes require precision jumping, and the level designs are flat-out fantastic. Personally, I’ve had some absolute joy, and frustration, playing this game so far, and similar to Distance, I’m sure that the sense of accomplishment at the very end, once I’ve managed to complete every level, will be truly unbeatable.
MapleStory
MapleStory is a free-to-play, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG that offers fun adventures across a vibrant and massive world along with adorable "chibi" characters and creatures. There are plenty of character jobs and factions that you can choose from before setting off into the world to complete quests, grind mobs and battle challenging bosses. Upgrade your characters often by increasing their equipments, skills, abilities and stats. Fancy adventuring in a cool outfit with a cute pet and mount by your side? Well, you can get these in the game shop too.MapleStory used to be incredibly popular because it was the first few free-to-play MMOs of its time, but now, it is still popular mainly because of the timeless classic that it is. Better yet, even after more than a decade since its release, the game and its community is still going strong. MMO players, especially ones who are skeptical of 2D MMOs, should definitely give this game a try.
