❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rift Arena?
Rift Arena is a free top-down 3D arena shooter in the browser. You pilot a neon mech in a bounded circular arena, move and aim independently, and fight waves of enemies with clear telegraphs.
How do you control Rift Arena on mobile?
Use a twin-stick layout: drag on the left half of the screen to move, and drag on the right half to aim and auto-fire. On desktop, use WASD or arrows to move, mouse to aim, and click or Space to shoot.
How does scoring work in Rift Arena?
Kills award points by enemy type (Drifter, Spitter, Bulwark), with a wave bonus when the arena is cleared. Your best score saves on the device.
How many hits can I take, and what are kill values?
You have 5 HP, not stacked shields — one hit (with 0.85s i-frames after) unless invulnerable. Drifters are 20 + wave×2, Spitters 30 + wave×2, Bulwarks 40 + wave×2. Clearing a wave adds 50 + wave×15 after a 1.35s pause. Spitters start mixing from wave 2; Bulwarks from wave 3. Max 28 enemies. Fire rate is 0.14s between shots.
Can I play Rift Arena on mobile for free?
Yes. Twin-stick: left half moves, right half aims and auto-fires. Desktop: WASD/arrows, mouse aim, click or Space to shoot. Free browser WebGL arena — no download, account, or two-player. Without WebGL you get a notice, not a 2D game. Best score saves on this device.
Which enemy types appear in later waves?
Drifters appear from wave 1. Spitters mix in starting wave 2; Bulwarks join from wave 3. Up to 28 enemies at once in a ~16-radius circular arena. You fire every 0.14 seconds.
Is Rift Arena multiplayer?
Solo wave survival only — twin-stick on mobile, mouse + keyboard on desktop. Best score saves on this device. WebGL required; no download, accounts, or co-op online.
How many enemies spawn each wave, and how much HP do they have?
Wave 1 spawns 3 Drifters (1 HP). Wave 2 spawns 4, then 2 + wave×2 up to 18 queued, with at most 28 alive in the radius-16 arena. Drifter HP is 1 on wave 1, then 2 + floor((wave−1)/2). Spitters (from wave 2) have 2 + floor(wave/3) HP; Bulwarks (from wave 3) have 4 + floor(wave/2). WebGL only — no playable 2D fallback. Solo.
