What is SkyRift?

SkyRift is a fast-paced arcade drone combat game built around speed, movement, and skill-based gameplay.

Inspired by classic arcade design and modern competitive games, SkyRift focuses on quick matches, tight arenas, and expressive drone abilities that reward creativity and smart decision-making not just aim.

This is not a drone simulator.

SkyRift is designed to feel fun, colorful, and instantly playable, with power-ups scattered across the map that grant boosts, healing, and temporary upgrades that can completely change the flow of a match.

The game world itself is playful and stylized full of dynamic animations, fast-moving projectiles, and cool-looking drones that feel alive in motion.

Maps are designed as caricatured environments rather than realistic locations a basketball court, a kitchen, a floating sky city all exaggerated and reimagined through an arcade lens.

Think a bit of Overwatch, a bit of Rocket League, the chaos of Mario Kart, and the energy of modern arcade shooters blended into a fast, competitive drone experience that’s easy to pick up and hard to master.

SkyRift is about moment-to-moment decisions, movement mastery, and chaotic fun, where every match feels dynamic, unpredictable, and rewarding to play.

Why Kickstarter?

This Kickstarter is not about fully funding the entire game.

It’s about building an early community, validating the arcade-focused vision, and creating a solid foundation to continue development with the right partners and investors.

Even if SkyRift evolves beyond this campaign, backers will directly shape its direction from the earliest stages.

What backers get?

Backers will receive early access to the SkyRift community, exclusive cosmetic rewards, behind-the-scenes updates, and at higher tiers early playable builds and recognition in the game credits.

Development status

SkyRift is currently in early development.
Core gameplay systems and movement mechanics are being prototyped, with early internal builds planned for backer testing during development.

About the team

SkyRift is a creator-driven project built around a clear creative vision.

The game was conceived and is currently led by a single creator, who defines the core gameplay direction, creative identity, and overall vision of SkyRift.

Development is supported by a small, trusted group of collaborators with experience in game development, sound design, and interactive systems, brought together to help turn that vision into a polished arcade experience.

SkyRift is not built by a large studio - it is built by people who care deeply about arcade gameplay, fast-paced competition, and creating a game that feels fun, expressive, and skill-driven from the very first match.

The project is intentionally structured to grow alongside the community and future partners as development continues.
