Hey everyone! I've been building Overgrow, a top-down PvP arena game that runs right in the browser - no download, no sign-up needed to play.
▶ Play it here: https://ottrly.itch.io/overgrow
What is it?
Short, skill-based fights. Walk onto a pad in the lobby (1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4), make or join a match, and the match owner picks the gear tier - Stone, Gold, Diamond or Amethyst. Everyone gets the same helmet, sword, spear and spikes, so the better player wins, not the one who grinded longest.
Spikes are the whole game
Spikes hurt any enemy that touches them. You use them to wall people off, cut off escapes, cover yourself while you heal, or pin someone against your other spikes. Your team's spikes never hurt you, so team fights get really tactical.
8 rated bots to practise on
If nobody's online, the BOT pad has a ladder of eight bots, from Benny (300 rating) up to Sona (3800). Each one plays differently - the top ones are honestly hard. I'd love to know how far up the ladder people get.
Controls
WASD to move, mouse to aim, left click to attack, 1-9 to switch items, G snaps spikes to a grid. It also works on phones with thumb sticks.
It's in beta, so feedback is really welcome - especially on how the fights feel and whether the bots are fair. Ranked 1v1s give you a skill rating and there's a leaderboard if you sign in.
Thanks for reading, and see you in the arena!
