Rift Mechanics
Greetings Pilots,
We're excited to introduce rift mechanics and four new missions featuring rifts. These rift missions are essentially logical puzzles. First two are puzzles that players can solve beforehand and simply implement the solution in the code, while the last two require players to write the code that solves the puzzle. In-game documentation is already up-to-date, the wiki should be updated in the next few of days.
The new missions are interspersed with the existing ones in terms of order. If you already had an unlocked mission that is past one of the rift missions, it will stay unlocked.
We'd love to hear your feedback, in Discord or in the game forums!
