Acrobatic colourful platformer 'Rifter' will release July 12th with Linux support

Fusing together fast-past acrobatic platforming with a thumping synthwave soundtrack, Rifter certainly looks good! It's officially releasing July 12th with Linux support.

“After three years in development I can’t quite believe that soon I’ll finally get to share Rifter with the world. The core game was finished a while ago, but as a gamer I really appreciate a high level of polish so for the last couple of months I’ve worked to give Rifter that extra shine and added extras like a ghost mode, online leaderboards, tons of little extra visual effects and some really cool hidden secrets that I hope players will enjoy.”, said Maximilian Csuk, (aka IMakeGames) the solo developer behind the game.

They have a new trailer to celebrate the release date announcement too:
