OH NO @Contra HQ!!! MR. BIG ROCK, with the help of @Rive, has stolen your goat!!!
Okay, on the first level, you have to throw the goat (no goats were harmed during the animation).
The more points you score, the more seconds you’ll have to spend in the second level.
Where you have to catch goats 😄
And on the third level, MR. BIG ROCK shows up.
You have to throw goats at him — using their power to defeat him.
In the end, you always lose. There’s actually a grand idea behind it, you’re always just a tiny bit short of winning. Well, what did you expect — did you think you walked into a fairy tale? 😄
I built this entire system in Rive from scratch. All three levels are connected. The entire mechanic.
Fantastic, right?
Now send in your goat 🐐

Love the playful concept — using Rive for interactive game mechanics is a cool direction. The narrative hook makes it even more engaging.
Thank you 🙂
By the way, even though there’s a unified ending for all the intended branching game events and achievements, in the final script those conditions are deliberately kept separate from one another. This allows for quick switching between the final scenarios.

That makes sense — separating the end-state conditions keeps the logic modular and easier to iterate on.
Are you handling those as independent state checks or through a centralized state manager?
I’m using independent state checks within each individual script, which has proven much more efficient for debugging the specific mechanics of each stage. Essentially, each level independently handles its own completion logic and passes the necessary data to shared variables,...

My @Rive racing game breakdown! 🚗💨
I thought I'd share a short breakdown exploring the systems and ideas behind the project so far!
Very cool breakdown 👌 Always interesting seeing how different people structure interaction systems in Rive.
What if your facial expression became your controller? 🎮
I created a shooting game that trains your facial muscles by using your own expressions as the controller.
- 😊 Smile to power up your shots
- 😮 Open your mouth to fire a laser
- ⚡ Real-time 2D x 3D integration with Rive + React + Three.js
- 🎶 Sound, light, and animation working in sync
This is a shameless re-submission, as I already submitted this whack-a-mole mini game for the Rive data binding challenge. But since this one is specifically about games I thought: 'what the heck, why not?'

No scripting in this one (yet).
Hopefully I can build something new for the next challenge :-]
Thanks for playing!
very well executed i love this
