Glyph vs Transformice
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.
Transformice
Transformice is a hilariously entertaining MMO platformer where you along with dozens of other mice will be jumping and running all over the place to be the first to bring back the cheese. Featuring a plethora of levels, realistic physics and an overall frantic gameplay, the game also appoints a random player as the almighty Shaman mouse who can decide to be the good samaritan and help the other little mice to get to the cheese or play the villain and make life a living hell for them. Besides having plenty of customization options, each player's mouse will have its own skill tree to upgrade.Interestingly, Transformice is a rather player-driven game. The game allows players to create their own game modes and maps in addition to the 7 official game modes and 200 official maps. This little yet significant feature helps to further extend the game's lifespan, giving players a chance to not only play games but also create games for other players to enjoy.
Being a somewhat competitive game, Transformice has a rarely ethical F2P business model where every item in the game is obtainable without spending any real money and if you do spend real money, the items you get are simply cosmetic in nature. Spenders and non-spenders will actually be on equal footing in this game, how awesome is that?
So, if you have a penchant for ridiculously funny platformers, Transformice is a game you won't want to miss out. Do give it a try!
