Thanks for looking in. This message is to make it easier to navigate the Glyph community.
And to ask you to consider signing up for the PC demo. It'll be released in connection with the Steam NEXT Festival later this month. If you own a Switch console, you can check it out today on the eShop!
Of course, we'd love to see you on our community Discord server also. It's chill there, and you can usually get hold of a developer or the CEO/janitor or a marketing person - i.e., me.
Thank you! I hope to see you around the Glyph universe. /Rasmus

Glyph has come back to life in a larger game with new levels, new traps, new obstacles, new enemies, new secrets to unlock, and new time trials to test your mettle.
The new Glyph builds upon the old VR version, so they are similar in name, appearance, and gameplay. Thankfully, it’s already getting good reviews.
So, if you want to experience the solid gameplay you're already familiar with, but on 80 (yes, 80!) new levels, then wishlist Glyph below. 👇

Patch Summary
3 new Glyph body type DLCs.
Custom control key binds.
Glyph is now on Speedrun.com.
Tutorial update.
3 new Glyph body types available as DLCs!
Our dear little Glyph went to a stylist. It now comes in 3 new daring and slightly ridiculous shapes and styles! We have the cute turtle, the spooky UFO and the ... delightful parasite! Each new body type comes with 3 distinct skins too.
A much requested feature has new been implemented. You can now set up custom key binds for controls in the customization menu!
Glyph is now on Speedrun.com!
Anyone with a taste for going fast in Glyph can now submit their records to speedrun.com and claim their rightful glory! Check out the Glyph speedrun.com page:
You can attempt to set a record for completing all levels in a world, or run individual levels. If you don't know how to record and submit a speedrun, check out this short guide document we have put together:
We also want to extend a special thanks to members of our community who have already shown us their incredible speedruns, many of which have claimed world records. How quickly you guys have put our internal records to shame, and shown the community unbelievable levels of skill, went way beyond our expectations! Thank you xSkyDestroyerx, LotsofLatte, and Bup!
We hope to see many more join us in speedrunning Glyph!
Tutorial Update
We have made a significant change to the tutorial which is the first scene new players enter when starting Glyph for the first time.
We have added terrain to the scene because we found that new players were often distracted by a feeling of vertigo due to the endless space below the platforms. The terrain not only adds a lot to the feeling of being grounded in the level, but also teaches new players that the terrain is deadly, something that the previous iteration of the tutorial failed to do effectively.
Full list of major changes
This is a list of the most significant changes in this update.
Added news display active by default for the customization menu.
Moved multiplayer activation portal closer to the starting point in the main hub to increase visibility.
Fixed several issues with level elements causing unfair deaths due to their placements or deadly collider dimensions.
Added the three new skins to the customization menu.
Removed the community hub portal in the main hub and replaced it with the Glyph Community Discord link portal.
Multiplayer Update
Update Summary
8 new multiplayer levels.
You can now play single-player levels while being queued for a multiplayer match.
Optimized netcode. That means smoother and more precise online gameplay.
Many bug fixes, minor adjustments, and optimizations.
8 New Multiplayer Levels
We have added a wide variety of new multiplayer levels, bringing the number of available levels to a grand total of 10! We are looking forward to hearing your feedback! You can get a taste of all the new levels with these screenshots:
Tortoise
A level set in space, with angled ring platforms and an elongated shape, with plenty of opportunities for creative dodge maneuvers.
Spider
This old desert dust bowl forces some intense dogfights and many opportunities to use energy jumps to shake off your competition.
Seagull
This jungle of wooden poles set in the freezing tundra, is a large and dangerous playground. Use your skills to navigate the tight gaps of this level.
Giraffe
Jump into this level set in a forgotten realm for some intense merry-go-round chases. Don’t forget to watch out for the device rotating in the center of the level!
Butterfly
This minimalistic desert level challenges you to utilize every surface to your advantage. Use the speeders on top of the towers to bail out of bad situations.
Orca
This old shrine by the frozen lake breaks up the symmetry with differing features in each end of the map.
Cheetah
This cemetery level is called Cheetah for a reason. Speeders and energizing flames enable you to travel across the level in a split second.
Pangolin
Don't let the calming appearance of the deep blue nebula fool you. It features narrow escape routes, and tons of ways to die. There are lots of opportunities for flanking too, you will probably never feel safe in Pangolin.
Optimized Netcode
We have made great improvements to the multiplayer netcode in Glyph. This means that we have been able to double the game's tickrate, making the experience a lot smoother!
New Multiplayer Match Finding System
The new system enables players to search for multiplayer matches while continuing to play single-player levels. No more hanging around and waiting for a match inside the old waiting scene!
