9. Rift riff

I love the mobile implementation and the art style. Thought this was a Towerfall-like at first, but it plays like a fundamentally different game.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Have you played Zenith on BGA? Is it worth a shot there?
