RIFT – A procedurally generated FPS game in the browser

RIFT – A procedurally generated FPS game in the browser launched on June 10, 2015 with 27 votes, #1,317 of 3,954 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

RIFT is a browser-based first-person shooter that uses procedural generation to create unique levels each time you play. Designed for casual gamers wanting quick FPS action without downloads, the game generates different maps, environments, and challenges automatically. The procedural approach means players get varied experiences rather than replaying identical levels, making it suited for those seeking replayability in a lightweight, accessible format.

    Took a break from the falling sand simulation blog posts this week to work on another small project. It's a little pixel world generator- each time you visit, you'll see a new little world. I really like this stuff and had a blast building it yesterday!
