Design a #StudioRun character… and make it playable in our game made fully in Rive!

We’re opening up a character competition for Studio Run — our cosmic side-scroller from The Little Labs. Here’s how it works: We will pick the top 3 submissions, then we’ll open public voting on those finalists. The winning character gets added to the game so everyone can play as your creation.

We've been working with @Jack Saltel VOVY Company (4 month already of collab on @Contra ) on their mascot, branding, web design, and more. Excited to see them go live in Times Square! The interesting thing is that the character was animated in @Rive and exported as a video asset to use on the Times Square banner, since it has already been rigged there for many other web actions and interactions, using some cool poses and states we will be showing soon. Big shout out to @Junior Fonseca and @Daniel Aleman Robaina, part of our team, who have been working on this collaboration!
