GlitchSPANKR is a chaotic 90s-style comedy adventure where you spank, spare, or smooch your way through a corrupted video game haunted by a lonely digital virus. Developed by Mahelyk and TheClassifiedX, it blends nostalgia, slapstick humor, and branching narrative choices into one wild ride.
You play as a kid who secretly installs a forbidden floppy game, only to unleash Spunk, a shape-shifting virus that’s devouring the code from the inside out. As you explore each glitch-filled level, the rules change and the chaos deepens. Meanwhile, every choice matters—your actions decide whether you’ll destroy the virus, befriend it, or fall for it.
With physics-based destruction, interactive minigames, and a heartfelt layer hidden beneath the absurdity, GlitchSPANKR transforms pure chaos into a surprisingly emotional, unforgettable adventure.
