Riftstep

Live on iOS and Android

A portrait action roguelite with no attack button. The floor tiles you leave behind rip out of the arena and hit enemies, so every attack costs you ground.

Alive-ish

Live on iOS and Android

A daily care game. You look after one creature, Sprout, once a day. Care takes one second, and missing a day is not punished.

How we work

Design, engineering, art, live operations and player support all happen in-house.

  • Live operations

    Riftstep runs seasons, a 30-tier Rift Pass, and daily and weekly rifts and contracts.

  • Players control their data

    Riftstep players can turn off analytics and crash reports, or delete their account, inside the game. Alive-ish keeps everything on the device.

  • No paid power in our games

    Riftstep sells cosmetics only. Alive-ish has no energy bar and no second currency.
