    Hello everyone,Version 0.9.3 of this small shooter is now available. Some levels have been revised in terms of balancing and look-and-feel—those who know the levels will notice it quickly.

  • Update: New comfy in-game notifiers for active zoom level and turbo state - 24 October 2025

    Hi there space folks,a friend of mine took the time and checked the game a bit and I found out some really crucial things that can be a real showstopper for new players. The defaults of some settings like mouse sensitivity and zoom level where just bad for most players. So I changed them to better values.Also he didn't think about zooming at all while playing which is a fundamental thing to do. A good idea was to add some notifiers about the zoom state and turbo as well to let the player know about these features. @Doc Angelo: Thanks for these great tips! :-) I added them both to the in-game interface on the bottom of the screen.Some bugs were also fixed in this version.Chaneglog in detail for v0.9.2:Change: set default mouse sensitivity to 2.0Add: showing controlstate shift turbo and wheel zoom in the bottom ingame user-interfaceFix: vrcontrollerstate not initialized properly in the li…

  • Game launching... - 21 July 2025

    RiftInvaders is right before launch. I have finally finished the work for the initial release version 0.9 !If you like this game please feel free to contact me for ideas or help me balance and/or create new levels. And please be gentle: This is my first solo-project after so many years of being active as a sound designer in the gaming industry. But I love games and it's my dream to be an active developer again. This game was meant to be a learning project for me which clarified some important questions for future projects. (I have written about this matter in the gameintro). And now it has become a little more then an excercise! :-)RiftInvaders has Steam Achievements, Steam Leaderboard, uses SteamCloud for saves, supports VR headsets if you like eeeemersion :-), has some neat oldschool electro-music just to help enjoy an endless battle where each of the 10 unique levels get more and mor…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

RIFTINVADERS's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

RIFTINVADERS's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records RIFTINVADERS at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
