I joined the Glitch family June 12, 2011, after being invited, then invited again and again, by friends who are beta testers. Prior to this I checked the Glitch web-site to find out what this "Glitch" is all about. I did not go to facebook, twitter or any other site other than just a "general" outsider. I found Glitch on the web-site and watched the trailer and was not very impressed. I also read the entire page for more information. I thought "what is this? a cartoon type game", and "Eh! not for me!". Now after playing a short while I feel the "trailer" did not give the true essence of this game if thats what it is called? It did not show the Avatar as being the strong character that it is. Ok that being said, I decided to give it a try only because of my friends and especially one particular friend (whom I won't name) who actually stalked me! I'm laughing out loud right now because I dearly love this friend whom I've known for sometimes from other game sites:) Awesome lady!
I am accepted by Tiny Speck and I join. I get to make a Avatar aww! which I love, I go through nose's and eye's and lips that twist go up and down and I am having the funest (if its a word) time ever! I get to choose ears and a dress! Oh! I join a Group! I am in heaven! OMGoodness! such bliss! Alright now ready to Gooo!
Now I find myself in some kind of ledge, I can move a few glitch feet to the left and a few glitch feet to the right. I learn to do some dirt tending , how to hug a pig! how to put lotion on a butterfly! I learn to jump! Fine! I think I learned what I need too and decide this ledge I need to move out from? But how? I tried to jump out but nothing?-- Two day's! I don't know why so long but it took me two day's to try to figure how to get out! Just as I begin to feel like poor Glitch solder and feel my new eyes tear up, my new lips quiver, I think to my self "I am in a trench hole" so crawl out! I begin to look to the sides of this what I shall term as a " trench hole " and see some rocks sort of strategically placed going up! and so I push the arrow keys up! and whee! There I go! TA! DA! I am out world! Free!
Footnote: I always had the option of using the help site, but I figure if I do not know how to get out of this situation I am in big trouble learning to play Glitch!
I highly recommend that www.glitch-strategy.com be on the front page, it gives a better perspective of this site.
What was your first day in Glitch like?
