We are happy to announce the launch of OVERLOAD on Steam! The FULL game includes single player campaign, challenge mode with leaderboards, and online multiplayer all in one convenient package. As we indicated previously, the price is going up at launch and is set at $29.99 for now. To celebrate the launch, we have a 12-hour live stream on Twitch! Join us for multiplayer, a view of the editor, connecting with other streamers, a Reddit AMA, and more! We also wanted to take this time to say how grateful we are for such an amazing community. This project wouldn't be what it is without your feedback and support. We are really proud of Overload and think you will enjoy it. Thanks for sticking with us through Early Access!

EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP
Our focus with Early Access is to make Challenge Mode the best it can be through iteration, polish, and player feedback. We will also be revealing about a third of the single-player campaign with a focus on refinement of the elements present there as well as interface and level complexity/flow.The first update, currently planned for late March/early April, will add the following to the game:
- One full singleplayer level from the main campaign
- One new Challenge Mode level, Hive
- A new missile, Nova
- Top 25 personal scores on leaderboards (in additional to Steam world-wide and friends)
We plan to do a significant update to the game every 3-4 weeks of similar size, with some smaller updates to address bugs and player feedback. Much of the story content will be held back for the full game release, but by the end of Early Access, Overload will feature:
- 10+ Challenge Mode levels

- XP-based unlocks and permanent upgrades for Challenge Mode
