Rifter

very fun

[h2]Not focused enough to feel good[/h2] Movement feels imprecise, particularly rotating around orbs which is the core mechanic. The game can't decide if it's an aerial platformer or a runner-racer and it shows in the rhythm and physics. There is also action inside, with enemies. It's not cohesive at all. Level design also isn't exciting, it's just obstacles to avoid without any elaboration or mechanics. The upgrade shop feels extra unnecessary. Every gameplay element feels like it was just thrown in without any vision or second thought. Visually there are too many gimmicks, screen shake and light-shows for every basic action, it all feels like smoke and mirrors. The music is as advertised: I find it insufferable, especially because it's not well suited for the simple gaming experience this has to offer. In terms of mood it just feels random. Basic NPCs with no flavour delivering endless useless speech about non-existent lore.

Bardzo fajne, można się pobujać na lince. Przypominają mi się wormsy i stara gra na nesa - rockin' kats.

Obligatory 'Steam, please add sideways thumb option' Seems to be more like a grappling hook based action game than a platformer, and didn't love the way it felt to move around. Feels a bit loosey goosey to me and often had issues with the hook auto-snapping to the wrong target. First boss was an underwhelming chore with the frustrating habit of walking off the map lol I love Zip tho

Рифтер - это захватывающий платформер с неоновыми элементами и мощной 80-х годов музыкальной саундтрекой. Игроки будут бежать, качаться, разрушать и ускоряться в неповторимых приключениях и исследованиях разрушенного мира. Рифтер совмещает в себе элементы Dust Force, Sonic, Bionic Commando и Hotline Miami и предлагает игрокам высокую скорость и точный контроль. Пройдите через более 90 этапов и вступите в борьбу с предательственными препятствиями и жестокими боссами, раскройте тайны и получите несколько разных конечных результатов.

Overall fun game. Some levels could do with some slight changes to make it easier though, especially when it comes to the time attack challenges, some of which require insane levels of precision to beat. But if you like fast paced 80's themed precision platformers it's definitely worth it.

AMAZING

Extremely underrated game, had it wish-listed a few years ago for it's visuals alone

Rifter is a phenomenal blend of breakneck speed, vibrant visual and musical style, and challenging yet very fun and accessible gameplay. If you enjoy 80's-style synthwave, neon/retro aesthetics, and acrobatic grappling hook shenanigans, you should really pick this one up. It's well worth the 12 bucks. The only criticism I have is there's no option to shuffle the playlist, which is a very minor complaint.

really fun and addictive
