    I developed this game with 2 artists over 2 years, from 2016- 2017. Then an unfortunate fact of life struck and caused a delay, and I took a year off. Now I'm committed to finishing the game, and we've resumed development.

    Overflo is a parody 2d platformer where humor completely compliments awesome platformer mechanics and physics puzzles. Leave a stain in the comments and let me know what stinks and what you love.

    Some gameplay:

    Absolutely boogerman-esqe, that game was the definitely the sh!&. We've tried to distill 2d platformer mechanics from other great games and plop in a nugget of humor, lace with a captivating and fun to watch and play story line, and the poo de resistance, add bosses like the Turdinator.

    Also thank you for your kind words, the artists are phenomenal.

    I have some suggestions:
    Shorten the trailer a little, perhaps divide it into two parts (showing the funny dialog because it's a strong point);
    There are two media sections, join them close to the top;
    A text somewhere describing the game and its strengths would be nice

    That's all i have :D
