Great game and love the graphics, I can tell you've put a lot of love and effort into the game and it has certainly payed off. Didn't manage to get very far but here are some screenshots. I especially like that purple portal in the final screenshot.
Characters are so cute :D
Looks like a interesting game!
If there was a demo, I would play it. There are alot of games out there, and yet, this one seems interesting to me. I hope it goes into early access soon!
Hmm, now this looks like an interesting game. Are you gonna release on Windows only, or will there be a build for Linux and Mac as well? I like the art style, although I must admit it may technically not be "the best" (well, I do worse myself so who cares) it does draw the attention to this game in a rather positive way, and my hands are itching to play. Monie is just damn cuuuuute! I like fairies, I've always had a weak spot for them, even as a boy, and now as a 42 old man, I still love them. I never dared to enter the fairy store just across the street where I live, as I'm afraid I'd waste all my money there, so I must keep in mind my opinion may not be 100% fair, just because you used a fairy for a protagonist :)
Of course the fact that your facial style is a bit on the anime way, doesn't help to turn me away :)
When watching the youtube video it appears the game has smooth controls (like I would expect from a side-scrolling-action-game), and I have the feeling even a complete moron should be able to learn the basics, which is only a good thing.
The music I heard on the background in the YouTube video appears to be well-chosen for the theme behind the game, as when I'd close my eyes not knowing which game uses this tune, I would imagine either Fairies or Elves in a forest like environment, and I suppose that is what we'd want to see...
Well, I hope I've encourage you guys to finish what you started, as it would be a total waste if this game would not come to be. Go for it!!!
The Glitch Fairy is an action packed 2d side scroller starring Monie, an eccentric fairy with the unusual power to ''glitch'' her enemies.
Each enemy glitches differently, so our little fairy needs to use her ability wisely to reach different places, discover hidden paths, speedrun, acquire collectibles and more.
Story
Monie the fairy recently lost her flying power due to a mysterious artifact controlled by her eternal arch nemesis, Princess Badassia of the Spalanie Kingdom.
After losing her power, Monie discovers a weird shrine that grants her the power to glitch her enemies.
With her new ability, our little fairy embarks on a quest to confront her old rival and get her power back!
Overview
The core mechanic of the game centers around jumping and shooting. Monie can shoot Magic Beams, which she will use most of the time to defeat her enemies. However, she can also shoot Glitch Beams to glitch foes, which all have different reactions to it.
Here are some examples of said reactions:
Temporary Shield
Attack Boost
Super Speed
Infinite Jumps
Turn an enemy into a friendly cow
Make a platform appear
Instantly defeating a tough enemy
There are more that 30 different enemies, which means more than 30 different glitch reactions!
Contrary to Monie's regular Magic Beams, which can be fired at will, Glitch Beams have limited amounts of use. Shooting Glitch Beams costs Candies, which can be collected during levels.
Collectibles and Power Ups
Each level has lots of important items that can be found using Glitch Beams. For example:
Scrolls that unlock hidden levels.
Mushrooms that permanently give Monie more health or power.
Gold Coins that can be used to buy items and equipment.
Magic Amethysts that serve a mysterious purpose.
And more secrets (We can't spoil everything!).
In The Glitch Fairy, there is always another room after a boss battle. In said room, players will always have the opportunity to use their glitching skills to discover a hidden Time Portal. This is purely optional and can be skipped entirely but if you manage to reach a Time Portal, you might want to enter it...
Conclusion
We plan to release The Glitch Fairy this year. Most of the game is done, but there's still some polish and testing to do.
Any feedback or comments will be greatly appreciated. We will update this devlog soon.
Thank you a lot for your time and have a great day!

Hi everyone!
Here is a more detailed version of the world map. You can now see how many collectibles you've collected on the level you have selected.
Feel free to comment and have a great day!
To make our world map more interesting, we added a small rotating disk that moves when you walk around the map. It shows the appearance of the selected level in greater detail.
Feel free to comment and have a great day!
​Hi everyone!
You can change your basic magic beams by glitching certain enemies. These glitches can be stacked for crazy beam combination!

This week we'd like to show you a graphical update we made for a boss. You can see the earlier version on the left, the beta version in the middle and the final version on the right. The game is coming along well and we can't wait to show you more!
The most common enemies in The Glitch Fairy are Mister Misters. Since they are present all through the game, we decided to make them look different in every level.
Here are 4 examples of different Mister Misters!
​Today we'd like to show you Monie's favorite doll, Silas the knight.
It shoots little swords, sometimes prevent damage and has impeccable hair!
Hi everyone!
Before, using your Glitch Beam on an Ol'Days Guy would grant you a speed boost, but now it also makes you immune to spikes!
Feel free to comment and have a great day!

​Hi everyone!
If you look around carefully, you might find scrolls hidden in certain areas. These scrolls unlock optional levels on the world map. Here is some footage of the first secret level, the Mushroom Field!
Have a great day!
