Press reviews: “Rifter is super stylish, and its use of colour, exciting music, movement, and simple but rewarding controls is really impressive.” Rock Paper Shotgun “It is really fun to play, unforgivingly difficult and packed to the brim with replay value and well thought out levels.” 9 / 10 – Cultured Vultures “Rifter is by far one of the, if not THE most fun I’ve had playing a game this year. It’s original yet nostalgic. Fast, yet strategic. Both enjoyable and compulsive. Vibrant graphics and a banging soundtrack.” 8.4 / 10 – Nerdable
