- Help us out with RIVE's marketing! - 30 January 2017
Hi everyone! Besides updates, we've been working on RIVE's marketing recently, trying to get the word out to a larger group of gamers. So far, we've reached a core group that's very enthusiastic (you!), but we hope to find a broader audience in the coming months. You can help us a lot by filling out the RIVE Marketing Questionnaire we've prepared. Hopefully this will give us some insights into how to talk about the game better. Completing the form should only take a few minutes, so don't hold back :-) It would also help us a lot if you'd share the above link with your friends and relatives. It doesn't matter whether they're familiar with RIVE, or have played it or not. We'd just like to get as much input as possible! Thanks a bunch!

- Are the Battle Arena's working properly? - 24 November 2016
Hi RIVE players, In the most recent update we may have introduced an issue for existing players of RIVE. Can you boot the game, start the first battle arena (Stomping Ground) and let us know if auto-fire and auto-rotate is activated? If you can fire as usual, you're fine! Thanks a million! Two Tribes
- Free RIVE expansion: Challenges & Battle Arenas - 22 November 2016
Two months after RIVE's release, we're pushing out a major update featuring Challenges, Battle Arenas and a new Normal campaign difficulty level. Also, as we've previously said, RIVE is Two Tribes' last game, and we felt that this would be a good time to give you a status update. RIVE came out a little over two months ago, and it's been a wild ride. Players loved it, which is reflected in the amazing 95% "very positive" Steam user review score. Reviewers dug it too, calling it “A heart attack inducing crazy nostalgia rollercoaster” featuring “Some of the most memorable moments in a shoot-em-up in years”. It was “The perfect combination of bullet hell and platformer” and “An awesome game from start to finish”. All in all, “A very serious candidate for the title Surprise Game of 2016”! We got totally addicted to watching people play RIVE on YouTube and Twitch, often late at night due to d…

- Update v01.02 released! - 24 September 2016
Hi all! We just released the v01.02 version (build 25769.9900) into the wild! We listened to your feedback and tweaked the game to perfection! The following was added (ADD), changed (CHG) or fixed (FIX): ADD: Choose from two more controller styles, with the left bumper and trigger switched for less analoggy jumping. ADD: We put in an extra few game over messages, because why the hell not? CHG: You can now switch game modes from within the Leaderboards screen. CHG: The freshly tweaked Mission 9 rising lava level demands a tad less perseverance. CHG: Soft Mode is offered earlier… and the game asks you again, except if you tell it not to. FIX: We think we've squashed the bug that sometimes made the game crash between level switches! FIX: Sometimes the music would go missing after restarting the mission. Making us sad because we like the music. FIX: In Mission 10, avoiding and shooting DLL…

- Toki Tori Dev Goes Out With A Bang In Rive - 17 September 2016
Toki Tori creators Two Tribes released their very final last game this week, the explosive shooter Rive . They’re going out in a blaze of glory, as Rive revels in bright and beautiful wholesale destruction. Rive puts you in the shoes of scrappy space scavenger Roughshot, who’s trapped on a starship. The main goal is to engage in a glorious series of acrobatic fire fights as you blow up everything in your path, or hack robots and turn the starship’s defenses against it. It’s very fluid and flashy, and if you’ve got a competitive streak you’ll be pleased to know there’s a speedrun mode and leaderboards. …
