How it feels

A punishing 2D platformer where precise evasion and timing are used to navigate a grief-soaked world without directly attacking enemies.

What players say

Players describe Overcome as a challenging but fair platformer where deaths feel like their own mistakes. The shield mechanic evolves from blocking to reflecting shots and acting as a parachute. Reviews split on whether the difficulty is intense or moderate, and several note the $10.99 price feels high for the 1-2 hour runtime.
