What BlockRift is

BlockRift is a 2D physics arena that plays in the browser. No download. No account required to play. Click the name on the homepage, you're in.

The shape of it

Quick play drops you into the next public room. Hosting a room gives you a link you can share — anyone with the link plays. The map editor lets you drag blocks, set hazards, pick a game mode, save, share. Custom maps stay yours.

How it's built

The game uses planck-js (a JavaScript port of Box2D) for the physics, Socket.IO for real-time multiplayer, and a small Node + MongoDB backend. The site you're reading is static HTML/CSS — no framework, no build step. The whole thing runs free on Cloudflare Pages.

What's coming

Next up: a skin builder for composing your own block-character from primitive shapes, and a map generator that drafts a playable layout from a one-sentence prompt. Both ship as part of Creator Access when they land — the base game stays free.

What it isn't

BlockRift doesn't run ads. It doesn't track you. It doesn't sell anything to anyone but you, and the only thing for sale is Creator Access. You'll never see a battle pass, a season grind, a "premium currency," or a level locked behind a paywall.
