Fight what you can see before the rift swallows the rest.

Powerful weapons and escalating swarms create a satisfying survive-until-overwhelmed arc.
Orbital swarm defense with escalating density and screen-filling pressure.
A/D or Left/Right moves. Space, W, or Up fires. P or Escape pauses.
Drag anywhere to steer and hold to auto-fire.
Threat kills, fractured boulders, fast destruction chains, wave survival, and Overdrive multipliers build the score.
Impacts drain defense energy, with heavy threats causing greater loss. If energy reaches zero, the rift overwhelms the defense.
Destroy nearby threats first and fracture large rocks early enough to handle both fragments safely.
Group targets through movement, maintain the 1.7-second chain window, and enter Overdrive while dense waves and priority targets are active.
Three decisions shape most RIFTSTORM runs. Use this as a practical plan, then adapt when the cabinet pushes back.
Clear nearby threats before chasing distant targets or bonuses.
When visibility collapses, protect the center lane and remove the nearest confirmed threat first.
Use movement to group enemies, then destroy the cluster with efficient fire.
Cabinet personality
RIFTSTORM weaponizes uncertainty. The cabinet is about holding composure while threats emerge from a battlefield that refuses to stay fully visible.
