Standing Ovation to Tiny Speck

I just want to take a moment and applaud Stoot and all the Tiny Speckers for their purely awesome imagination. I mean, in a gaming society with Modern Warfare, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, etc etc the brilliant people of Tiny Speck have presented us with Glitch. Glitch is so refreshingly wonderful, isn't it? 

11 Giants named Humbaba, Friendly, Tii, Zille, Alph, Lem, Grendaline, Spriggan, Cosma, Pot, and Mab, who look so wonderfully quirky and amusingly enough have little caveman style drawings for symbols. The only giant face that vaguely resembles something from another game is that giant mask/face that ironically resides in Hell. 

We have places like Groddle Forest, Groddle Meadow, Groddle Heights on Groddle Isle. We have all the desert-y/ancient places on a piece of land dubbed Grumbla. We have the Misc. Islands with Ix and Uralia. And of course who could forget Chakra Phool, Shimla Mirch, and Jethimadh in a place called Mazza'La. 

And every single one of these areas has such amusingly quirky street names. I mean a street called Karpal Tunnel, can you beat that? :D 

And of course our Glitches themselves. A race called Glitch. A GAME called Glitch that isn't even about computers or the like. They run and jump, harvest fruit and beans, and scratch their butts if you pause long enough. Glitches that you can command to fall asleep, splank with a plank (ah that just makes me giggle). SPINACH MAKES YOU FLY. 

Doesn't all this just define awesome for you? People of Tiny Speck, your imagination... let me bow before you.

  • I agree, and those are some of the very reasons I play Glitch and not some other game. But I have to say that Minecraft, being completely different, is quite wonderful itself.

  • I'm with you on that. For all the limitations (a game can't compare to the imagined possibilities of all its lowly end-users; we can only hope for enjoyment of another's vision of paradise) it's still super fun and unusual, and getting better. It's never going to be The Last Game You Ever Need (yes! gaming is a NEED!) but it's still a big universe, peaceful, but not without competition.

    I forget who said it, but I really like the idea that we spend all our time gathering resources in order to be excellent to one another.

  • Glitch is so wonderful. I agree with all of this.

    My only frustration is that the name of the game makes it really hard to google anything related to it. xD I wish there was a sub-title or something.

  • Yeah but the name also helps people stumble upon it - for instance, I was googling glitch hop music when I discovered Glitch the game. It was love at first site ;)
    (I love a good pun ^_^)

  • I love that there are so many little things that tickle my funnybone.  The first time I tried munching purple flowers is a good example.  I about fell out of my chair laughing at the expressions on my Glitches face.. sooooo cute!  I munch purple flower whenever I want a laugh now :D

  • @ piratice- beautifully stated.

    two tests ago, stoot responded to a change in game that had distressed me. his thoughtful, balanced rational for the change and advice/request to consider my method of game play was great advice that i took to heart. i stepped back, took a deep breath and thought about things for a couple of days. not only about the game, but what my purpose here is. i am a beta tester now at the end of development so what do i have to contribute? i decided to honor my invitation to play by trying to understand the creator of this game and his vision. this game is a long time coming and i decided to trust him. i stopped playing the way i wanted the game to play and started playing the game the way it offers. i started playing as though things could not be changed, debated, griped about or flamed to the point of exhaustion.

    and that's when i really started having fun. everything fell into place just as he said it would and i started to "get it". and it isn't about the harvest return based on energy use being fair, etc., etc., etc. it's about having a new friend, met in game, decorating your house with fireflies. getting a gift in the mail from someone you didn't have time to chat with so you just gave them a smile and a hug. it's about laughing outloud at silly fun things that have nothing to do with anything in the game except the tree you are hiding behind. it's about naked congas lines and the happy energy shared over the internet by people who are thousands of miles away from one another. or not, make of it what you will and that freedom is glitch too.

    for those of you who haven't done your homework on glitch, tiny speck or stoot, get thee to google for much respect is due. yes, i am a glitch and stoot is my rockstar.

  • And can I add thanks to all the wonderful support people...  Kevbob showing up in world at the drop of a bug and not minding in the least if it was actually stupid me and not a bug at all.   Araldia and the others on the support team who are so friendly and helpful in working with me after the fact to sort out bugs - almost as if I were the most important person in the world, when actually I'm only number two, behind stoot!

  • The best way we can applaud Stoot is to find friends and sign them up to play. This game is the most wonderful way to meet new people all over the world, and GREAT, fine people. It is wonderful when the game is on to see friends and have a little discussion, then back to game play. The world of Glitch is so conducive to peaceful thoughts and fantasy...it can be a refuge from stress... When you play Glitch you know you will be entertained, stimulated,  nibbled, splanked ... what else is there to life?

  • nota bene:   if you like to get your blood pressure up, join in the forum  discussions     on some heated topic..   When the game is down  the tempers flare,   nostrils flare... People become so insensed   it is hysterical.  The claws come out,  mostly the female claws.  The cat fights are awesome. Thank you Stoot and devs for allowing this.  Better arguments here than in real life with drive by shootings common place in USA.  When there is PMSing heads can roll. Fasten your seat belt, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

  • But even the cat fights are remarkably civil by comparison with other sites!  Only such a great group of Glitches could manage that.

  • Completely agree with Piratice!! I have really come to love this game over the past couple months and have great admiration and respect for the people who made this happen. Tiny Speck, you are not so tiny in our hearts. I applaud your efforts to create something for so many people to enjoy, and to support us crazy Glitches who, I'm sure, can sometimes drive you up the wall. This game is going to be very successful and it's exciting to see it grow!

  • @napabeth:  I'm glad I didn't say that or there would probably be bobbittizing, too!  (Except, of course, that in Ur we have nothing to bobbittize.)
    Posted 16 months ago by Hawkwell Subscriber! | Permalink
  • there are some in the game to whom I would and could glady give a frontal lobotomy.      Oh sorry Glitch love....forgive me ...and you can bobbitize, sterilize in your mind...the others will  never ever have a clue and it is  great stress reliever..               even write down on  paper your bad thoughts, burn them  up and poof !

  • Glitch is a game where eggs grow on trees and wheat comes from chickens. Enough said.

  • napabeth I applaud you..I couldn't have worded it better..It is the most fun ever and I hate it when it has to close down..I get so cranky and start typing on the forums just to pass the time..Thanks to everyone who makes this game possible and I mean everyone..

    Napabeth, you have more than your fair share of petty arguments, too.

  • This game is awesome, and so is this thread. 

    Thanks for Glitch, devs. Thanks for teaching me about Glitch, forumers.
