Little Reaper: A Rive Halloween Game Challenge Submission

Little Reaper — Small Hood. Big Harvest. 💀🌙

My submission for the Rive × Contra Halloween Challenge!

Meet Little Reaper: a tiny grim reaper exploring haunted catacombs, eerie stairways, and moonlit cliffs with a curved scythe and a few bone stars for company.

Built with Rive CLI, the game features sword combos, double jumps, dashes, airborne strikes, and enemy encounters across three maps. Painted environments, drifting fog, glowing projectiles, and original sound effects bring its Halloween world to life.

This project became an exploration of game feel: making movement responsive, attacks satisfying, and enemy warnings readable. Every playtest helped shape the next iteration.
