GlitchSPANKR Review & Gameplay Impressions – A Chaotic 90s Comedy Adventure by Black Lantern Collective

GlitchSPANKR is not your typical indie adventure — it’s a chaotic love letter to broken games, 90s nostalgia, and unhinged creativity.

Developed by Mahelyk, TheClassifiedX, and Black Lantern Collective, this absurdly funny narrative adventure blends comedy, choice-driven storytelling, and physics-based chaos into one unforgettable digital fever dream.

You play as a 12-year-old gamer in the 90s who sneaks a forbidden copy of Big Booty Slapper 6 onto your dusty old PC. But when you hit “play,” everything goes wrong. A shape-shifting, emotionally unstable virus named Spunk hijacks your game and starts consuming it from the inside out. Armed with your trusty GlitchSPANKR antivirus software — and a floppy pink hand on a metal stick — you dive headfirst into a world of corrupted code, glitchy madness, and hilariously inappropriate problem-solving.

Your weapon, affectionately known as the SpankStick, isn’t just for show. It’s a fully interactive, physics-based tool that can smack, break, or bless nearly everything in the environment. Wet? Dry it. On fire? That’s your problem now. Almost every object reacts to your actions, making destruction part of the fun — and sometimes the solution.

But GlitchSPANKR isn’t just about slapstick chaos. Beneath the humor lies a surprisingly heartfelt story about loneliness, connection, and control. Spunk, your supposed enemy, isn’t purely evil — he’s a broken digital soul searching for meaning inside corrupted code. You can destroy him, spare him, or… maybe even fall in love. Each decision alters the narrative, branching into wildly different endings that reveal new sides of the story.

The game’s branching paths, hidden levels, and secret folders give it remarkable replayability. Every run feels like uncovering another layer of a digital conspiracy buried under nostalgic pixels and corrupted charm. One moment you’re breaking furniture and arguing with a talking toilet; the next, you’re questioning the nature of artificial emotion.

Beyond its narrative depth, GlitchSPANKR encourages creativity and exploration. Customize your SpankStick at the Spankulator 9000, decorate your SPANKR HQ, and collect trophies, fan art, and weird furniture that reflect your choices. The HQ isn’t just a base — it’s a living, evolving space that mirrors your journey through the game’s chaotic universe.

From the first slap to the final revelation, GlitchSPANKR delivers a rare mix of absurd humor, heartfelt writing, and experimental gameplay design. It’s part retro adventure, part digital fever dream, and completely unlike anything else on the indie scene.

If you love games that embrace chaos, comedy, and consequence, GlitchSPANKR will infect your hard drive — and your heart — in all the right ways.
