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!
Key features:
- 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

Good ranks are gated too much behind having most of the upgrades. The only way to be competitive is to spam dash once you have the unlocks maxed out, and lives lost requirement for the ranks are bugged. I genuinely enjoy twin sticks a lot, and this game almost ruined the genre for me.
Nice concept :) a fun game made with love for sure!
Great game, it feels so good. Controls are great, music hits hard! It's addictive, neons are always dope, can't wait to unlock everything & try new things! GG Blukulele Studios, that's a nice gem right there.
Easy to pickup but gets challenging fast! Different spaceships, upgrades and cool fights. It's super fun, just buy it :)
Very fun, very addictive !
Having a lot of fun so far! Game is both smooth and challenging when you want to reach high ranks! Every level brings a really refreshing take on the core mechanic of the game which feels awesome! :D
Pure arcade fun with clean graphics, sleek and addictive gameplay. The 6 different spaceships have their own gameplay and soundtrack, and are fun to play in their own way (The Shinobi being my favorite after unlocking a few skills). The soundtrack overall is quite good and catchy, I caught myself bopping to the beat a few times. All in all well worth the few bucks that it costs, perfect game to play during queue times of other games or to grind to get the best ranks on each ship.
