Rift Rumble

Cinevva's analyzer read this game's design doc and its source, then wrote the brief below. "Make your own" hands it to the game creator as your opening message, so you start from a real spec rather than a one-line idea.

Create a retro 2D side-view 1v1 fighting game called "Rift Rumble" with pixel-art character designs and multiverse theming.

**Camera & Perspective:** Fixed 2D side-view with a flat ground plane. Characters move left/right on a single horizontal floor line. Camera shows full arena width with dark gradient backgrounds.

**Fighter Selection Screen:** Title screen shows "RIFT RUMBLE" in glitchy magenta chromatic-aberration text with "Retro 1v1 multiverse fighter" subtitle. Display 4 fighter cards in a row showing: Holo Hacker (screens/dash/orbit with rainbow gradient swatch), Snack Shadow (traps/chips/rage with orange-green swatch), Rosie Ribbon (charms/pulls/petals with pink-white swatch), and Void Banker (cosmic brawler with purple-white swatch). A 5th locked card shows "???" with "1 / 10,000 rare form" text for Void Incident. Each card displays fighter name, role description, and color gradient. Below fighters show 4 map cards: Snack Shack, Pretty Palace, Mother Board, and Void Bank. Multiverses map is locked unless Void Incident is selected. Include "Roll Void Incident 1 / 10,000" button that randomly unlocks the secret 5th fighter. Pink "START FIGHT" button at bottom. Show keyboard controls text: "A/D move, W jump, Space slap, Q/E/R specials, F ultimate. Mobile buttons are below."

**Fighters - Detailed Visual Designs:**

- Mother Board: Dark blue gradient, cyan circuit lines criss-crossing screen, rectangular cyan-outlined chips as platforms. Gives Holo Hacker -10% cooldowns
- Void Bank: Deep purple gradient, concentric purple circles radiating from center, dark rectangular vault outline with "VOID BANK" text. Gives Void Banker HP regen boost and faster ult charge
- Multiverses: Pure black gradient, white eyes with black pupils scattered across background instead of stars, eyes blink and track fighters. Only accessible when Void Incident is selected. Gives Void Incident higher veil dodge chance

**Combat HUD (top bar):** Left side shows P1 name, green HP bar, blue ult charge bar, and "BONUS: [theme bonus text]" if on their home map. Right side mirrors this for P2/CPU. Center shows current map name. All bars have dark borders and fill left-to-right. HP is green, ult is blue.

**Combat Mechanics:** Side-view 1v1 on flat ground. Players can move left/right, jump with arc, and attack with basic + 3 specials + ultimate. Each attack has cooldown timer. Ultimate requires 100% ult charge (gained by dealing damage and using abilities). Attacks spawn projectiles, hazards, or melee hitboxes. Taking damage reduces HP, applies knockback, and brief stun. Projectiles include chips (orange triangles that arc), hearts (pink charms), ribbons/tethers (line projectiles), astronauts (white falling rectangles), stars (purple falling symbols), beams (white diagonal lines). Hazards include soda puddles (green circles that slip), petal clouds (pink that slow), black holes (purple vortex that pulls and damages), cataclysm (expanding white ring). Particles spawn on hits (colored squares), special moves (themed effects matching fighter colors). Characters have afterimages on teleports showing ghost trails. Status effects include stun (shows "STUN" text above head), blind (white screen overlay), charm (forces movement toward attacker), rage (red outline, boosted damage). Match ends when one fighter's HP reaches 0, showing custom KO message.

**Controls:** Keyboard - A/D to move, W to jump, Space for basic attack, Q/E/R for specials 1/2/3, F for ultimate. Touch controls shown at bottom with directional arrows (left/up/right), ATK button, and S1/S2/S3 special buttons.

**Art Style:** Retro pixel-art with chunky blocky character sprites (86px tall), flat colored shapes, dark high-contrast gradients for backgrounds, chromatic aberration on title text, VT323 and "Press Start 2P" fonts. Characters are Roblox-inspired with rectangular limbs and detailed accessories. Particle effects use simple colored squares. Projectiles are geometric shapes or symbols. Scanline overlay visible. Color palettes per fighter: Holo (cyan/pink/rainbow), Snack (orange/green/black), Rosie (pink/white/tan), Void Banker (purple/white), Void Incident (black/white/purple).

**Special Features:** 1/10,000 rare roll to unlock Void Incident fighter. Theme bonus activated when fighting on character's home map. Three menu modes: FIGHT (normal 1v1 vs CPU), PARTY (2P/3P/4P mode with online-named bots), ONLINE (1v1 vs named rival bot). Party mode requires account login (email/password stored locally). Character-specific KO finishers with unique particle explosions and flavor text.
