Rift Adventure

I spent a few hours with Rift Adventure expecting a straightforward retro platformer, and instead got something charmingly janky: a pixel-art action game where you're supposed to care about the town's tax revenue. The platforming itself is solid - tight controls, decent level design, and that satisfying old-school feel - but the city management layer sits awkwardly alongside it. You'll clear dungeons, dodge traps, and collect resources, then tab out to fiddle with tax rates and building upgrades to fund your own progression. It works if you go in knowing it's an experimental hybrid, not a pure platformer. The concept shows ambition, and indie games deserve credit for swinging weird. That said, the tax system never quite clicks as the motivator it wants to be - it feels more like busywork between the actual fun parts. Cloud saves and achievements sweeten the deal for completionists. Worth a try if you're bored with convention and have patience for rough edges.
