In celebration of our super-cute robot puzzler RIFT’s viral version debut (now available on Kongregate and Newgrounds!), we’ve added three extra levels to the Candystand-hosted version of the game.

To play the new levels, go to the RIFT game page and click ‘Bonus Content’ — or in the level selection screen, click the last tab labeled ‘Candystand Bonus Pack’ (it’s not a Mochicoin-required pack, it’s totally free).

If you’ve played RIFT before, you might need to clear your cache to see the new version (if you see the ‘Bonus Content’ link in the menu of the game, you’re good to go!).

How do I clear my cache?

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the guys at Valve should be blushing red right about now. We mentioned our new game, R.I.F.T., and its similarity to 2007’s hit puzzle-physics game Portal before, but it wasn’t until today that we discovered another homage: an Easter Egg cheat that generates heart-stamped boxes identical to the one players took care of (and then well, if you played the game… you know what happens) during a level of Portal. Check out the video below to see it in action, then hit the jump to see how we did it

Having trouble with our puzzle-platforming cake-fetching-robot game, RIFT? Here are the video walkthroughs for all twenty levels of the game, which just launched today.

We’re gearing up for the launch of this week’s new release, R.I.F.T.! The puzzle-platformer will debut on Candystand.com Thursday morning, along with brand-new trophies. We had a chance to interview lead designer Jan Rigerl about the game.

“I knew I wanted to create a platform game and I wanted portals in it, also I wanted some weird maybe slightly disturbing humor in it… We wanted a robot with tracks and big arms to grab boxes, only after the graphics were done and we put it into the game did we realize that it looked a lot like Wall-E.”

Yes, we just threw a ton of pop/video game references out there. But don’t let those inspirations fool you — R.I.F.T. is an imaginative, original puzzle-platformer we’re launching next Thursday. It features retro-inspired graphics, a sweet chip-tune soundtrack, and the cutest robot we’ve seen since Pixar’s 2008 creation.

Your goal as a R.I.F.T. (stands for Robotic somewhat Intelligent Food Transporter) is to fetch a piece of cake (what’s up, Portal?) in each level to feed your blubbery master, who might pass as Jabba the Hut’s pink-hued bespectacled cousin. We’re also pretty sure the blue and orange-tinted teleporters are an homage to Valve’s critically acclaimed first-person gravity game, too.

Check out the trailer above, then head over to our Facebook fan page to see more screens from the game — we’re excited to bring it exclusively to Candystand with Trophies and leaderboards next Thursday!
