Infinite Heat — A canvas-based action game with prestige cycles, upgrades, co-op, and procedural audio.
🔐 Built on ARC-Core — the authoritative event-and-receipt engine. Every player action, wave, prestige cycle, upgrade, and leaderboard submission is an ARC-Core-shaped event with a SHA-256 receipt. The receipt chain is the anti-cheat layer.

🏗️ Built on ARC-Core
Rift Ascent uses the ARC-Core authority kernel as its backbone. Specifically:
| Gameplay layer | ARC-Core pattern |
|---|---|
| Player actions (move, shoot, dash, overdrive) | Event log with SHA-256 identity |
| Wave progression and prestige cycles | Replayable event chain |
| Co-op session sync | Shared receipt stream between clients |
| Leaderboard submissions | Signed receipts — tamper breaks the chain |
| Achievement unlocks (all 1000) | Receipt-verified events tied to player identity |
| Shop purchases and upgrades | Authority-gated mutations with audit trail |
| Daily challenges | Seeded event log reproducible across clients |
This means a full game run can be replayed deterministically from its event log, and any attempt to inject state client-side without producing a valid receipt is rejected at verification time.
