What is PixelRift?
PixelRift is a 2D pixel-art platformer built on momentum, elemental combat, and bossfights. Tear through forest canopies, scorched dunes, frozen tundras, sunken depths, a magma-soaked volcano, and beyond — ten worlds in total, each ending in a boss tuned to the terrain. Six playable characters wield different elements, each with their own dash, projectile, and special ability. When you're done with the main campaign, a full in-game level editor lets you build your own worlds and ship them to the community.
Why You'll Love It
🔥 Six Elemental Heroes
Ignis, Glacius, Terra, Volt, Shade, and Zephyr — each with their own movement feel, projectile, and signature ability. Freeze enemies with ice shards, wind-dash across gaps, or smash through them with raw earth.
🌍 Ten Hand-Crafted Worlds
Canopy Crossing, Scorched Sands, Frozen Frontier, Murky Marsh, Blazing Basin, Drowned Depths, Sky Sanctum, Crystal Caverns, Clockwork Factory, and Shadow Stronghold — each capped with a boss tuned to the terrain.
⏱ Challenge Modifiers
Speedrun for silver and gold tiers. Take on Lower Health runs all the way down to a single HP. Layer on Decay so your health drains as you play, or flip the level with Mirror Mode and run it backwards.
