About the Game
Prepare for a deliberate assault on your sense of balance. Sensory Overload is a dropper game where the environment itself is designed to fight you. Dodge obstacles while the walls breathe, the colors shift, and the world twists to drag your vision into a spiral.
Game Features
Stunning levels of escalating visual chaos
Dodge faster and faster with Ranked Mode.
Visual effects designed to disorient your senses
Levels named after what they'll do to you: Vertigo, Nausea, Peristalsis, Apocalypse...
Challenge yourself with the near-impossible final levels

[p align="start"]Two things first...[p align="start"](1) Thank you to everyone who's already left a review on the demo page. I read every single one, and they directly decide whether new players ever see this game. If you've played and haven't dropped a review yet, even a single line helps more than you'd think.[p align="start"](2) The numbers are absurd: 15,000 players and over 200,000 runs in the first two days. That's wild.[p align="start"][p align="start"]And now... the first patch is live![p align="start"]This is the first of many. My plan is to ship a patch every few days between now and the July 20th launch while the demo is in everyone's hands.Patch Notes
