INDIE ARENA SHOOTER // COMING TO STEAM

NOVARIFT

A star is tearing open. You are standing on the floor falling into it. Never touch the ground.

SCROLL TO IGNITE
01

Momentum is your only floor

Dash-cancel, wall-ride, and air-strafe through a collapsing arena. Stand still for half a second and the rift takes the platform out from under you. Speed is not a stat here. It is survival.

  • DASH air-reset on every kill
  • SLIDE carries velocity into the next launch
  • GRAPPLE yank yourself off a falling tile
02

The arena falls as you fight

Every arena sits on the lip of the rift, and every tile you leave behind is gone for good. The floor you start on is not the floor you finish on. Read the collapse. Bank your escape before you need it.

No cover. No corners. No second lap of the same ground.

03

Six guns. Zero reload.

Weapons never reload. They overheat, vent, and cool while you swap. Six rift-forged tools, each with an alt-fire that bends the arena: pull enemies together, freeze a falling tile, or open a shortcut through the tear itself.

Chain kills. Feed the rift.

Every kill feeds the core. Break the chain and it cools. Keep it alive and the arena tips into OVERLOAD: time thins, damage doubles, and the whole rift starts pulling toward you. Ride it to the edge without going over.
