Rift Signal by Fabled Forge Games

The Wardens of the Rift are duty bound to protect humanity when the solar system is under threat. When breaches into the unknown open up, the Wardens close them, all while enduring the scrutiny of the old ones who peer through the void. But proximity to a rift takes a toll on the mind. Can you save humanity before you succumb to the madness?

Rift Signal is a retro themed sidescrolling platformer developed for the LS16 console.

Rift Signal was created for Lospec Jam 2024!

We had a lot of things planned for this project that just didn't make the cut due to time. We plan to update the project post jam with some bosses and a little bit more juicy lore. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the game!

I love the atmosphere and depth of the game, very well done. I was happy to play through the whole thing, though I didn’t make it further than shattering the “crystal” at each planet. Was there anything more to do?

A handful of things I ran into: finishing one planet didn’t correctly flag it as unlocked. Also, gather the log/disk things didn’t seem to register in the “inventory” or progress screen. Finally, in the secret area at the base, I tried to use a special attack with no special selected, and it froze the game.

Thank you very much!

That's all there is for now, although we have a post-jam version in the works that will add some things.

Most of those issues have been solved in our update, but I hadn't come across that special attack bug, so I'll definitely have to look into it.

Thanks for playing!
