Tiny portal. Big appetite. Bottomless black hole energy. Take control of a hungry portal and absorb everything in its path in Rift Rivals — swipe to steer, swallow small objects first, and grow big enough to devour the whole level. Battle against players from around the world in fast-paced multiplayer matches where every second counts. Start small, outsmart your rivals, steal opportunities, and become the largest portal on the map before time runs out. HOW TO PLAY Drag anywhere (or use the floating joystick) to glide your portal across each stage. Every object you gobble feeds your combo and grows your appetite — hunt down bigger targets, keep your streak alive, and watch your score climb toward a truly satisfying high score. Plan your route, outmaneuver your opponents, deny them valuable objects, and dominate the arena as your portal grows into an unstoppable black hole capable of consuming almost everything in sight. THREE WAYS TO PLAY * Classic — race the clock, outgrow your opponents, and chase a new high score. * Relaxed — no timer, no pressure, just pure munching and satisfying progression at your own pace. * Rival Rounds — jump into competitive multiplayer battles, go head-to-head against other players, climb the leaderboards, and earn ultimate bragging rights.
