Thanks so much to everyone who played the first version of the Ryder demo and sent us your thoughts—it’s been amazing to hear from you!
We’ve just pushed an update that focuses on streamlining the experience and adding more of what makes Ryder fun. Here’s what’s new:
Puzzle flow is faster and smoother—less backtracking, quicker start, more polished creature selection process
- Creatures are faster and more responsive
- You can now try out actual creature abilities in the demo! You'll get to try the wind burst and wind jump mechanics
- Improved framerate, bug fixes, and better UI behavior
- The creatures have eyes now. 👀
- If you haven’t tried the demo yet, now’s a great time! You’ll explore a peaceful autumnal forest, solve 7 puzzles (4 new from previous version), and meet 5 playable creatures (3 new from previous version).
Additionally, here is Elle, the Creative Director, explaining Ryder in detail:
