## What is RIFTLINE?

One path. One life. How far can you run?

Race through the abandoned Orpheus facility in RIFTLINE, an endless sci-fi runner built around sharp corners, quick reactions and lasting upgrades.

Swipe left or right to commit to a turn, swipe up to jump barriers and gaps, and swipe down to slide beneath machinery. Optional tilt steering lets you fine-tune your position and collect bonus Scrap.

KEEP THE RUN GOING
Explore four changing industrial environments on a procedural course. Chain clean obstacle clears to increase your Scrap multiplier. One mistake ends your run, with an optional rewarded ad offering one extra life when available.

FINISH. UPGRADE. RUN AGAIN.
Bank your Scrap after each run and improve six pieces of equipment. Complete missions, unlock suit colors and chase your personal records. Upgrades happen between runs, so the action keeps moving.

MAKE IT YOURS
Adjust tilt sensitivity, disable tilt, enable touch-button alternatives, or choose an assisted run. Sound, haptics and reduced-motion settings put comfort in your hands.

Core gameplay works offline. No account is required. Optional rewarded ads need an internet connection and availability varies. No in-app purchases.
