Glyph vs Shaiya
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.
