Solo indie dev IMakeGames today announced that Rifter launches today for Steam (PC, Mac and Linux).
Breathtakingly fast and tough-as-nails, Rifter is an acrobatic platformer drenched in neon and infused with a pumping 80’s synthwave soundtrack. Players will run, swing, smash and dash at exhilarating speeds on a quest to discover the secrets of a torn apart world.
The love child of Dust Force, Sonic, Bionic Commando and Hotline Miami, Rifter puts players on the bleeding edge of speed and control. Blast through a world of 80’s-inspired neon backdrops, and discover challenging obstacles and brutal boss battles, in over 90 stages featuring over 30 character upgrades, unlockable skills, and three different endings.
“I have been working on Rifter for 3 years now, and now the game is finally launching I’ve been looking back at the early days of development. I actually had a working prototype with the core gameplay in place within the first month, the rest of that time has been spent adding lots and lots of polish!” said Maximilian Csuk, (aka IMakeGames) the solo developer behind the game. “That’s something I really appreciate in other games, when they feel really alive and have extras, secrets and attention to detail hidden in every corner. I hope players appreciate that when playing Rifter as much as I do in other games.”
