Rift Loopers

Giga QOL Patch

Monster Tooth Studios

Hello Loopers!

It has been an exciting couple weeks since our 1.0 release - we appreciate all the support and feedback you all have given and as such, we are pushing out some major changes and improvements to the game.

Biggest change is to improving support for gamepads - the right thumbstick will now shoot your weapons as well as face your character - this allows you to take advantage of both triggers and bumpers for abilities - which should greatly improve comfortability in using lined abilities. Let us know how this feels.

Another change is REMOVING the passive requirements to unlock the Ability Modifications special upgrade - after thinking about it, I was just linking them to random passives and it didn't really make sense to force players to have to take those passives - so ability unlocks will now be available when you max out the ability level (level 6). Granting ability mods may change in the future, but for now they are available immediately.

There are lots of other balancing changes and improvements too - check em all out below
