We created a fast-paced, 2026 World Cup-inspired free-kick game entirely in Rive. Choose your football superstar, time the shot, and discover whether you score, miss, or send the ball over the bar.
Our characters are stylized interpretations of iconic football stars, each with their own distinctive look. We built them as reusable Rive components, allowing their colors, animations, and appearances to update throughout the game.
You can play the game here: https://freekick-rive-demo.vercel.app/

So cool! I love how the mini game is split into different scenes! ⚽️ Messiah was always my favourite footballer.
🙌 Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Reusable components for the characters is the real win here — makes the whole game scalable beyond just one demo. Timing mechanic looks fun to play.

KON is a denim and streetwear label for people who live in hip hop and care how things are made. For Inktober’s final stretch, I took its hand mark through four ink passes, from a fine line to a heavy stroke to a dry brush. Each one sits on the last, the way cloth gets dipped again and again until the color holds.
Swipe to see the passes, then the mark out in the world on denim.
The full KON case study is coming soon.
