About Into The Rift
Into The Rift is an auto battler with roguelite structure. You draft a team of riftlings, then send them through the rift one fight at a time. Battles play out on their own, so the decisions that matter come from which creatures you pick and how the squad fits together. The run ends at an elite boss.
The game draws on the creature-collecting appeal of Pokemon and the run-based loop of roguelites, according to the creator's stated inspiration. Team building is the main lever: each draft shapes how a run unfolds, which gives repeat attempts a reason to try a different roster. The rough-lite framing keeps the structure compact and focused on the draft and the fights.
It was built with Phaser and made with the help of Claude Code, as the creator tells it, and it was entered in Vibe Jam 2026 with a small, focused scope.
