About This Game



OVERWHELMED is a dynamic Twin Stick Shooter that immerses players in a minimalistic and neon atmosphere.



Take control of a spaceship and face waves of enemies, from small drones to fearsome bosses, using your shooting and dashing skills to evade enemy fire.

As you progress, you'll earn rewards to upgrade your spaceship's features and purchase new characters to face the 6 terrible bosses standing in your way.



OVERWHELMED also introduces a special feature: the "Overheat".

A gauge fills up as you shoot, until it reaches 100%.

At that moment, you can no longer shoot, but you trigger your spaceship's special ability, allowing you to easily defeat waves of enemies for a limited time.

Use this ability wisely to overcome all obstacles!



OVERWHELMED features 6 playable characters, each with their own "Overheat" ability, music, and weapons.
Discover the unique gameplay style of each character and find the one that best suits your playstyle!
You'll have a varied arsenal to defeat enemies!



With its fast gameplay, catchy music, and immersive neon atmosphere, OVERWHELMED offers an addictive and challenging gaming experience you won't forget anytime soon.
Get ready to face the challenges ahead and become the master of OVERWHELMED!

  • The Overheat : Shooting increases the overheat value. When it reaches 100%, it unleashes an ability that damages enemies on contact, but disables the player's shooting.
  • Minimalist neon aesthetic
  • 10+ skills to unlock
  • 5 challenging bosses
  • 6 spaceships with their own gameplay
