An exciting 3D Action/Puzzle Game
using a revolutionary water physics engine.
|
Overflow is a fast-paced 3D action/puzzle game.
In it the player controls "Number 2", a robot battling hordes of evil machines, from the shores of a volcanic island all the way into outer space. The enemies in Overflow are complex mechanical contraptions that move in highly intricate ways, giving them a very distinct appearance and making them always exciting to look at.
In Overflow the player himself earns new mechanical parts throughout the game so his shape constantly evolves as he acquires new exciting powers including:
- Arms with built-in electro-magnets, that allow him to move and throw metal objects (including enemies)from a distance.
- A hover board that can collapse inside his legs, enabling him to slide, jump and grind on edges.
- A rocket-pack in his chest, allowing him to fly around in zero gravity environments.
The objectives and the pace of the levels vary constantly to keep the player on his toes. The game alternates levels of pure puzzle solving with frantic all-out action sequences that will leave you breathless.
Like most machines, Number 2 is highly averse to water. This is unfortunate for him since the world of Overflow presents a unique feature never seen before in a computer game: Real interactive water -- The Liquid Dragon programming team has successfully implemented the first ever real-time fluid dynamics simulation engine, allowing games to create unbelievable water and fluid effects that until now could only be achieved in movies.
This feature has a huge potential both in terms of eye-popping new visuals and in allowing us to generate original, never seen before gameplay. With it, the player is able to fully interact with all fluids in the game in highly complex ways.
This allows us to create intense gameplay situations such as:
Having the player be chased by a lava flow through a series of caves, closing passages and breaching walls to try to divert the flow.
Battling enemy machines, filling uncrossable gaps or even deflecting incoming water using a high-pressure portable water canon.
Or even more extreme situations:
In Overflow, when you see a huge tidal wave about to crash on you, you can jump, throw a liquid nitrogen bomb into the water, freezing it on the spot, deploy your hover board in mid-air, and land sliding on the icy surface while huge chunks of frozen water crash all around you.
Overflow is the first game to ever feature a full blown real-time fluid dynamics engine.
Overflow's state-of-the-art technology goes far beyond any level of water simulation
done in previous games and accurately simulates all behaviors normally exhibited by
liquids, allowing for a variety of unique effects, from the intricacies of underwater vortices generated by undercurrents to the massive impact of towering waves crashing on each other. Parameters such as density and viscosity can all be modified allowing the engine to simulate a variety of fluid behaviors beyond simple water such as mud, lava and even gases.
