Welcome to Tiny World of Riven!

A 2D side-scrolling platform shooter set in a gritty cyberpunk animal city.
Play as Riven, a tough mercenary cat girl cast into the slums and forced to survive among gangs, robots, and rival powers.

Will you survive the slums, or rise to challenge them?

Features:

• Side-scrolling platform shooting with weapon upgrades

• Explore slums, sewers, and hidden cyberpunk environments

• Meet quirky NPCs like King Panther, Breaker, Gearhead, and more

• Uncover secrets and the true power struggle beneath the neon lights

This isn’t just a platformer. It’s a little place to get lost in. What matters is not the shooting and mission but exploration and finding Easter eggs references. 

If you like:
- Finding secrets under glowing signs
- Wondering what lives just beyond the edge of the screen 
- Or games that make you feel something, quietly...

Then we’d love for you to play as Riven.
