It all started around late 2017, when game developer Nick Stavridis finished his 9-month military duty and was back home, unemployed and worried about the future…and that’s when GlitchfallIt came into being.

Glitchfall was a story about a failed game developer who rediscovers his favorite childhood game, gets sucked into it and needs to help the game’s characters fight mysterious glitches that are destroying their world.

It was an ambitious project, and as time went on, Nick realized he wouldn’t have the resources or time to bring the entire game vision to life. Nick had to make a hard decision and decided that he would continue to work on the title the protagonist is from. Glitchfall played as a kid – and that was Jack ‘N’ Hat. This is the reason why the game offers only 16 colors and a 4:3 aspect ratio, it is supposed to be a game from an early 90’s console!

Designing the levels and bosses and working on the music were Nick’s favorite aspects of the game development. Every boss battle was made in approximately two weeks. Each level has a different soundtrack. Every detail was carefully thought-out in order to create the perfect early 90’s game atmosphere.
