First week of Rifting!Hey Rifters! The games been out for a week now and we just want to take a minute to appreciate all of the wonderful reviews youve been leaving behind:
Tower defense is a genre that comes with a lot of baggage, and Rift Riff successfully ditches so many kilo's of unnecessary nonsense, resulting in a game that is incredibly playable
jwaap
The gameplay strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility. It encourages creativity without punishing experimentation.

Very nice tower defense game, makes me use my brain but doesn't make my head hurt
Eevulpix
So much charm and joy in the game design, the visuals and audio in this. It's just a happy tower defense, "Otto has joined", he certainly has!
Muppetpuppet
Between the beautiful art design with smooth movement and satisfying animations, original music and adorable sound effects (Do yourself a favor, turn up the volume), and painstakingly balanced difficulty between the levels, this game is an absolute masterpiece with an entire little world to explore.

Rift Riff is endlessly charming, with a good bit of challenge as well. The gameplay loop is made even more satisfying with the art style, music, and overall sound design. Who doesnt love it when your protagonist starts humming or making funny noises?? Go play this game!!
Cognitive Glitch
Were still recovering from the game's release for a bit. Once we have regrouped, well update you with what the future for Rift Riff holds.
Currently in the works:
- The Rift Riff OST & Soundpack
- Better challenge tracking
Thanks for playing and reviewing the game! It really helps a lot and supports future development!!
Happy rifting!

[ 2025-05-16 15:04:53 CET ] [ Original post ] A minimalistic tower defense game with concise gameplay, a light story, and vibrant pixel art.

As with most tower defense games, enemies in Rift Riff come in waves and you summon various towers to stop them from reaching and destroying your basecamp.

So what's the deal with the rifts? Rifts in spacetime fling you from one atmospheric world to another. While you summon towers and extract energy from each world to create a rift to bring you home (hopefully, probably, maybe) its inhabitants spawn to sabotage your escape.

Features
- The whole game with updates and everything (?)
- Some amount of levels (??)
- Multiple hours of gameplay (?!?)
- Many many towers and enemies (?!???!)
- Upgrades, Skill Trees, Challenges, Modifiers, Replayability... we have no idea either!
- If it wasn't clear enough: we don't know precisely (yet) what'll be in the game. We'll announce things as we go right here on Steam, so uhhh... wishlist and find out?!
