Overloop is a platformer game that can be played solo or with another player in cooperative mode. As an employee of the nefarious Infinity Inc., you must use your cloning gun to solve puzzles and save humanity from the chaos caused by your cloning technology. Create up to four clones to help you overcome obstacles, but be prepared for hilariously gruesome outcomes as many clones will suffer deaths along the way. Explore a world of weirdness filled with quirky characters and a dystopian future.
