Rifter

Really fun from what I briefly played, but I then discovered that the leaderboard server is offline with no plans to bring it back online, so I refunded as I was specifically looking for a leaderboard competition game. Still a great game for anyone who doesn't care about the lack of working leaderboards

I hate to give this game a bad review, because it does seem like a really good game. But, currently, it has a bug that causes the screen to go temporarily black while, starting the level, taking damage, and performing certain attacks. Which makes large portions of this game, currently, unplayable. From what i understand from other reviews and comments in the community hub the developer is aware of this problem, and has been aware of this problem for, at least, five years now. Yet the problem remains. If the problem is patched out any time in the near future, i will update this review to be positive, because, out side of that, it really is a fun game, with awesome music.

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.
