Wanna make a game that is just These Vibes

Video Game Rain @rainingames.bsky.social · 7d

Little else is as comforting as watching rain and thunder come down when you're in the comfort of your own home, having a little snack.

We have always felt like Rhyolite sits in a genre of its own, and now we have the SCIENCE to prove it! 😂🔬

Rhyolite is super unique scoring a 1/10 on our market Saturation Score. Currently we estimate it has ~1.2K wishlists but IMO it deserves a lot more attention. I simply love the stylized comic art style & #steampunk themes

First they beat the most difficult game mode in our demo. Then they asked for an even MORE difficult mode which we thought would be impossible, but we added it anyway. Then they beat that mode, too! 🤯

A late entry to #PitchYaGame because we're a husband-and-wife team parenting two young kids who are on summer break!

Rhyolite is a 4p co-op roguelite. Keep your train running while capturing enemy ghost trains! It's crazy teamwork-y fun.

Rhyolite is set in an alternate version of the American Wild West, so we are always looking back in time for inspiration. Here are some of the historical figures and photos we referenced when designing our character classes (brought to life by 3D modeler Daniel B).
