Nick Squared

We run what we build.

Nick Squared is a software and games company. We make and publish Riftstep and Alive-ish on iOS and Android.

Design, engineering, art, live operations and player support all happen in-house, from the first prototype to the latest season.

How we work

  • Live operations

    Riftstep runs seasons, a 30-tier Rift Pass, and daily and weekly rifts and contracts.

  • Players control their data

    Riftstep players can turn off analytics and crash reports, or delete their account, inside the game. Alive-ish keeps everything on the device.

  • No paid power in our games

    Riftstep sells cosmetics only. Alive-ish has no energy bar and no second currency.
