Developer story

An unconventional independent build.

POLARRIFT was created independently by Shane Kendall through an iPad-first, AI-assisted development workflow with cloud-based builds. What began as a simple polarity prototype became a complete arcade game through rapid iteration, direct player testing, and a focus on the tiny details that make one more run irresistible.
