: Hey folks Here is my submission for the "Game with Rive" challenge. I had created this simple puzzle game as an assignment to dive deeper in Rive. Data binding and Scripting were not supported when I started making this game. So I had to use too many timelines, inputs and listeners for animating tiles.
But after the introduction of Data binding and Scripting, rive has become so much more easier and powerful. I rebuilt the same puzzle game using these new features. It took a lot less time to build the game with Data binding and Scripting
What started as a simple project to learn Rive grew into something much bigger. Had such a great time building it that I even made a mock game box inspired by classic retro Atari-style games.
Game is built mostly with Data Binding, State Machines, and Events (97%). Used JavaScript to bring it online and handle the firing mechanics and audio, and scripting is used for the Titan Catfish attack. I even added that classic and sometimes frustrating 3 initial high score screen, with scores saved to a Firestore database.
If I were to do it again, probably rely more on scripting & reduce use of events.
Note: Since I started this project without much of a plan, it’s currently best played on desktop. On mobile, audio doesn’t play on some levels, and there seem to be a few redraw issues.

Punch 1.0.1 🤖
Rive is my favourite 2D engine. So naturally, I built a 3D fighting game in it.
Punch is a 1 vs 1 robot combat game where every mesh, every polygon, every depth-sorted face is computed in real-time through Luau scripting. No external 3D library nor API.
The gameplay is simple and brutal: throw a punch, parry if you can, hope for the best. Two robots, one arena, zero polygons wasted on diplomacy.
Luau handles perspective projection, mesh rendering, depth-sorting, face culling, and real-time animation, all running within the Rive state machine. The robot models are pushed from Blender to Rive. Every frame, the script redraws the scene. It runs in my browser today, my phone asap.
A fighting game felt like the right kind of absurd.
