Glitch In The Grid

Glitch In The Grid: Bullet Hell Jam A frantic bullet hell game where you play as a rogue hacker trying to break into a game’s systems while fighting off the anti-cheat mechanisms that stand in your way.

🎮 Story

In the year 2025, gaming corporations implemented advanced anti-cheat systems with AI-driven defense mechanisms. As an elite hacker, you’ve been hired to break into one such system—the notorious “Impenetrable Engine”—to prove its vulnerabilities. What seemed like a standard job quickly spirals into chaos as you discover the anti-cheat system has gained sentience.

As you delve deeper into the code, you encounter increasingly powerful defenders—from basic Anti-Cheat processes to system Moderators, Admins, and even the game’s Developers themselves. Each step forward loads your cheat engine’s progress bar, but the defenders won’t go down without a fight. Will you successfully breach the system, or become another failed attempt erased from the logs?

🚀 Game Features

• Progressive Enemy Types Face increasingly challenging opponents as you progress—starting with basic Anti-Cheat units and escalating to game Developers and Admins.

• Vampire Mode In this special mode, killing enemies restores your engine’s health instead of filling the loading bar.

• Multiple Game Modes Test your skills across different challenge scenarios.

• Cheat Engine Power-Ups Gain temporary advantages like infinite ammo, agility boosts, and protective shields.
