About the Game

Meet The Glitchrunners…

Chaotic, five player mayhem takes over in Glitchrunners – a local multiplayer experience like no other!

Glitchrunners is an asymmetric local multiplayer game that uses second-screen technology to create a chaotic and exciting experience. Up to four players, using a PC/Mac, run an action-packed side scrolling 3D gauntlet, contending with treacherous team mates, hair-raising hazards and a whole lot of explosions.

A final player takes on the role of the Architect – and uses a second screen to dynamically control the game environment itself. With the world at their fingertips, the Architect can collapse buildings, throw countless objects and unleash mind bending special powers in real time as they attempt to stop their friends.

Key Features
Glitch Run - Take control of the Glitchrunners after loot - or protect your prizes as the Architect and manipulate the environment on a second screen
Arena - Settle scores in Deathmatch, King of the Hill and Powercube multiplayer modes
Cross Platform Play - Play with your friends on PC or Mac, in a unique second screen experience
Can also be played in single player mode and on a single screen
