glitchily
In malfunctioning fashion
In a glitchy manner—with jerky, erratic movements or intermittent malfunctions typical of buggy software or failing electronics.
The word describes actions that stutter or skip rather than flowing smoothly: The video played glitchily, freezing every few seconds.
It can also characterize aesthetic choices that deliberately mimic digital corruption: The animation glitchily distorted the faces.
