ASCII-RIFT
SteamASCII-RIFT is a fast, reactive, music-driven game.
Hazards are generated from the music itself. If you don’t move with the track — you die.
CHART MODE Score-focused runs built around the music. The track and lanes intensify with the song. Make it to the end of the track without dying.
RIFT MODE Escalating procedural loops for endless play. Level up. Adapt. Reset.
No permanent progression — only skill.
ADDITIONAL INFO Includes 10 original WAV tracks I created. You can also drop your own .wav files into the music folder to generate entirely new runs automatically.
Bring your own soundtrack. Change the battlefield.
