- Rift Racoon v1.8 - Small Fixes - 9 July 2020
- When you collected a level's diamond, it wouldn't get blue in the Pause menu. It would only get blue on the pause menu once you returned to a level where you've already collected the diamond. That is now fixed, the diamond will appear blue right in the moment you collect it. If you get a diamond and die, though, it will go blank again, because you have to save your diamond in a checkpoint. If you save your diamond in a checkpoint and then quit the level without completing it, you'll also lose the diamond. Checkpoints save diamonds, so you can die and die and retry the same level until completing it. Only by completing a level that you truly acquire the diamond. - You can now reactivate checkpoints to save your collected diamond! Rarely there were situations in which you activated a checkpoint, got the diamond, and couldn't save the diamond because the checkpoint was already active. No…

- Rift Racoon update v1.6 is now available! - 5 February 2020
Hey! Marcos here, bringing you another Rift Racoon update! It was a simple one this time. First, a few bugs were fixed on the coyote time and jump anticipation systems, explained in the previous update. They were working, but not at all times. Second, a little change was made on level 3-14. There was a bit in the middle that was waay too frustrating. There were two spikes set on a running machine. It was way too tricky. I moved the first spike closer to the other, so you'll have more breathing room. Thanks for playing Rift Racoon! Hope you're having fun!
- Rift Racoon update v1.5 is now available! - 2 December 2019
Hey! Marcos here, bringing you another Rift Racoon update! This one will improve the game's overall gameplay. The first thing changed were the SPIKES. Yeah, those annoying spikes. They are less annoying now. They are a joy! The *hitbox*, or, in non-gamedev terms, the thingy that, if touched, makes something happen in the game (in the spike's case, the player death), was greatly reduced! It used to be like this: It's like this now! Check out how you can get REALLY in the spike's face before dying! Notice that even the old hitbox didn't fill the whole spike's image, but it still felt quite unfair. Rift Racoon aims to be a difficult, but fair game. I don't want to challenge you to learn hitboxes and stuff. I want to challenge, mostly, your precision controlling your racoon. To be honest, I knew all along that the spike's hitbox wasn't great. The only reason I stretched it so much in the pa…
- Rift Racoon update v1.4 is now available! - 26 November 2019
Hi! Thank you so much for playing Rift Racoon! Hope you're enjoying! Today's update is very small and simple, but will definitely make the experience better. First, I've changed a bit level 2-2. Now, you won't fall a short distance onto the last platform. This was a bit frustrating, because if you were standing on the left corner of the upper platform once making the downwards teleport, you would fall onto the spikes, because of the short distance you had to fall until landing on the last platform. Now, once teleporting down you will land immediately on the platform. The last change on this level was on the part where this level's diamond is hidden. I won't spoil it for those who haven't yet found the diamond, but it's a bit easier to get it now. There's kind of a big change related to gameplay. Now, holding down while climbing a wall won't let you keep climbing it. You'll fall! This ma…
- Rift Racoon update v1.3 is now available! - 6 November 2019
Wow, the updates just don't stop! And we're not just fixing bugs, I promise lol, because this time it ain't a bug fix! Major menu update: - Now you can see which stages have collected diamonds, and which don't! - The selected level has a bright highlight in it, so you can REALLY know what level the cursor is pointing to Diamond hunting is much easier now, right? I hope you have fun collecting them all!
- Rift Racoon update v1.2 is now available! - 4 November 2019
Only bug fixes and minor changes today Bugs fixed: - Well, turns out the bug I thought I fixed on the previous patch wasn't really fixed (at all). The saw sounds! The saw sounds kept playing on to future levels if you skipped the level ending cutscene (in which the drone chases you). The only thing that the last patch helped solve here was that you could stop the saw sounds by going back to the menu. Now this bug is gone forever. The saw sounds only play when you're near then. - I found a major bug on the game's saving system, but it's gone now. Sometimes, when you finished a level, the game didn't manage to save in time for the next level. Result: some progress would get lost from time to time. You would close the game on level 2-10 and find out, once you opened it again, that it just save until 2-8. What a bummer! But don't worry, it won't happen anymore (I hope! If it does, please le…
- Rift Racoon update v1.1 is now available! - 2 November 2019
Fun Patch Notes (Fun because I'm not gonna be all technical here. I'm gonna write it in understandable english): Bug fixes: - Fixed a bug where the saw sounds would keep playing even if you left the level through the Pause menu - Fixed a bug in Casual Mode where, if you were hit by something while also stuck into a wall, you would be stuck in the wall forever (well, not really forever, just until you Restart the game through the pause menu, which was a pretty ugly thing to ask of the players) - Now pressing F12 won't open a bizarre screen anymore! You can take as many screenshots as you want now (please do, I want to see you play) Level changes: - Changed the placement of the second checkpoint on level 2-9. Now it's right behind the sliding challenge with spikes, so it will be easier to complete - Added some spikes to the walls in level 2-9. Did you know you could climb the mountain and…
