OVERCLOCK AGAIN

OVERCLOCK

Game Jam Entry — Theme: "Now That's What We Call a Theme"

Overclock is a fast-paced, hand-to-hand combat game built around a single core idea: the perfect loop. True to the jam theme, the entire game is structured as one — play through the campaign solo or with a friend, and upon completing all levels, arrive at a final space where you choose to loop back and begin again, or step away.

Overview

• Genre: Fast-paced melee/movement combat
• Player Character: A mechanic girl, equipped with a grappling hook and close-quarters combat abilities
• Enemies: Paragon-derived character assets (Epic Games) and a custom Scavenger Drone
• Core Loop: Complete all levels → arrive at a final hub → choose to restart the loop or exit

Systems

• Tier System: Custom-built by Me. Combat effectiveness scales dynamically with the player's current speed tier — the longer you sustain your run, the greater your attack power becomes, tying movement momentum directly into combat strength
• Combat System: Custom-built by the Me, including token-based attack coordination and hit reaction handling
• Dynamic Targeting System: Purchased asset, heavily modified for the game's specific targeting and lock-on behavior
• Grappling System: Purchased Multi-Purpose Grappling System asset, heavily modified for the game's movement and combat needs
• VFX: Power Aura Effects, Pixie Dust Trail VFX, Easy Impact Frames

Main Menu

Built using Steam Party Menu. Supports single-player, though co-op is strongly  recommended.(I recommend all 5 judges to play together)

To play with a friend:

1. Ensure you are both Steam friends, with Steam running in the background before launching the game.
2. In-game, click the "+" icon on screen.
3. Send your friend an invite — once accepted, you'll be dropped into the same session.

Touch the black platform to go to next lvl without fighting if you want to.

Black box means start again and white box mean go to party menu.(the final black box is not working because of spelling error🤓).[this is fixed but after deadline so i dont know what to say]

Post-Submission Bug Fix Log

• Fixed broken ragdoll physics on enemy death
• Fixed directional hit reactions not playing correctly (same animation regardless of hit direction) for both player and enemies
• Fixed gun sound glitch
• Fixed ground enemy not dealing damage to player — caused by file corruption from a mid-session power cut

• Fixed multiplayer client targeting system not working  

• The game now has only 1 bug and i will not tell you what it is, if you are playing alone then you will not find that bug
