About This Game

Glow is a fast-paced action game in the spirit of the good old 80's & 90's 2D top-down shooters, presented in modern 3D graphics. You control a lone but brave Firefly, to help her fight evil spiders and critters that try to hunt you down.

But fear not, dying is not the end. The more you play, the more perks you can collect for your flying hero, which help you to get rid of even more enemies. Are you good enough to lead the global online leaderboard and become Glow world champion?

GAMEPLAY

  • Control your Firefly in a fast-paced action game with a zoomable 3rd person view
  • Various types of Spiders and anti-aircraft Slugs try to shoot you down
  • Equip the Firefly with various weapons, ordnance & passive abilities (500+ combinations)
  • Collect power-ups to heal, gain more points, or even spawn Minions that fight on your side
  • Increase your score by killing enemies to unlock new perks and climb up the leaderboard
  • Easy to learn, hard to master: Just play and become better over time

It's better than Holy Cows, but it would have benefited from more time in Early Access! - Gameplay is fun and original but gets boring pretty quick: I got to level 4 and still only fought spiders. Devs need to mix it up earlier to keep players interested. - Keybindings are unchangeable (!) I never used the alt-fire because i was unable to reach the key. Unfortunately, there is no "undecided" on steam. Buy only if you see the potential and trust developers to improve (like early access). If you expect a finished/polished game, and 5 bucks is a lot of money for you: stay away!

GLOW constantly alternates between serene and unsettling, I like the minimalistic artstile and the soundtrack is just awsome!

this game got me hooked. after a few tries i read the enemies and managed to aim correctly, so i could concentrate on what to do next. the unlockable weapons and perks invite you to try new strategies. do i machinegun them down, after doing doing aera-damage with bombs ? do i snipe them down while the poision attacks drain the remaining life? the movement is great, and feels well-adjusted. this is a sweet shooter and excellent air-to-surface combat !

Great game! Really enjoyed the idea of being a bug :) It is a great game for playing if you don't have much time and just having fun... OK, sometimes it makes you addicted to kill the next spiders...

so far I see the potential its a little like buck bumble on N 64 , but keybindings need work its not really that playable with the current pre set configoration , I want to play this game properly ! its weird enough to capture my attention .. just needs better controller support. Oh you can play with mouse and keyboard and that works better , but its not the same. If you liked Buck Bumble as I did.. give this a try. Its a imaginative little game with decent graphics , just needs decent xbox controller key bindings where you can fire without taking a hand off the controller. I`ll conclude... I think the devs can easily fix these small issues I believe there is a place for these types of imaginative little games ...I like it.

This is a solid game, especially for the price point. The game stays interesting through increasing difficulty, unlocking of abilites and has solid graphics. The only thing I would say could be added are small things (And likely different per person). I would love for there to be some music when in the UI, more maps available and for the game to be brighter in general. However, as I say, for the price of the game, it is very well done and offers a lot more than something like an app of which costs the same amount! I've recorded a video of me playing the game if you would like a feel of of how it plays. To view it, you can go here: https://youtu.be/64QVCCrYGQw

This game is awesome! I hate spiders since I was a kid - time for revenge with Glow ;-) Even the first levels are fun, but there is much more coming the longer you play. Thumbs up!
