Into The Rift - An awesome pixelated action platformer

There are many platformers out there, some are very simplistic, while others are both high in graphical design and playability. One such game ' Into The Rift ' looks to have everything you need in a platformer and that little bit more. Designed by WestonPDX, Into The Rift is a running, jumping and weapon slashing metroidvania that has a number rather interesting moves that is sure to make this game a bit of a jaw-dropper. To coincide with this news, the developers have released lots of animated gifs.

PC?

Great parallax effect in Into the Rift but I don't like this Matrix reference and handsome portrait. Should be some average innocent dude like in Flimbo's Quest or Kid Gloves.

Now known as ' Lucius Demake ', this is a reimagining of the original Lucius game, made to look as if it is actually from the late 80s, complete with 2D pixel graphics and 16 colours. From the colour tones and top down graphics, you'd almost think it was a C64 game!
