SENSORY OVERLOAD IS OUT NOW

8:50am

SENSORY OVERLOAD JUST LAUNCHED

WHAT'S IN THE FULL GAME

7 Levels and 64 stages, including the ones I had to turn on god mode to record
Over 24 visual effects with more than 16 million possible combinations
Three ways to play: Normal (survive and score), Ranked (endless escalation until your brain gives up), and Zen (indestructible, just you and the tunnel)
Full leaderboards to track your best scores
The Level Editor so you can build and share your own sensory nightmares and share them.
14 songs by a brilliant composer.

A FEW HONEST WARNINGS

This game is intense. That's not just marketing, if you're photosensitive, you should avoid this one. The game's name is not a joke. Most people can't play for 10 minutes without getting dizzy. If that happens, take breaks.

And if the game makes your brain go quiet in a way nothing else does... welcome.

THANK YOU

To everyone who wishlisted, played the demo, reported bugs, designed obstacles, built faction lore, and told me to make it WORSE when reviewers told me to make it easier, this launch is yours as much as mine.

This community carried this game to launch day.

See you on the leaderboards.

Is This Game Basically a Stolen Version of old Minecraft Map The Dropper?

This entire game is literally just The Dropper from Minecraft with a fresh coat of paint 💀 Like bro really looked at an ancient Minecraft mod and said, “Yeah, nobody will notice if I turn this into a whole game.” The falling, dodging obstacles, surviving to the bottom—the whole damn concept is The Dropper. At what point does “inspired by” become “bro just stole the homework”? 😭...

Sensory Overload

15,000 PLAYERS, 200,000 RUNS, AND PATCH NOTES

Jun 3

Pancak3s here.

Two things first...

(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.

(2) The numbers are absurd: 15,000 players and over 200,000 runs in the first two days. That's wild.

And now... the first patch is live!

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

Added

Full ultrawide and widescreen support

Accessibility - Crosshair

New color picker allows you to pick any color for your crosshair
New size and thickness sliders
Two new crosshair shapes: Ring and Outlined Plus

Accessibility - Obstacle Outlines

New brightness slider allows you to dim or increase the brightness of obstacle edges.
New thickness slider allows you to make obstacle outlines as thin or thick as you want

Fixed

Leaderboards no longer sometimes show wrong default entries.
Music no longer restarts on retry when "Pause on Death" is on and "Restart Song on Death" is off

Changed

Compatibility renderer now correctly displays obstacles on older GPUs that were previously rendering them invisible

Please keep reporting any bugs you find through the in-game reporter. I seriously appreciate it!

Thank you, genuinely.

boost

so does the boost and break actually do anything for the score or is it more to let people adjust the speed a bit to their preference? also a button to toggle perma boost or break would be nice. after 100 back to back attempts at level 1 tornado of only boosting my hand was getting tired lol....

This has been a game I have been looking forward to ever since I saw it back in February, and played a lot of the playtest. It makes you feel sick in the best ways possible, but calming for ADHD people (like myself). If you love your senses being attacked constantly, or need a moment to calm down from the noise in your head, this is the game for you!!

Nice game so far, early review but I already put in a bunch of time in the demos of this game :P

It's good, it's basically some mix of games like audiosurf/super hexagon if you're familiar with those. You basically drop into this long tunnel and gotta survive to the end. Actually give me the flashbacks of the old web games which I appreciate.

It is mega hard though, I only got some progress in after a few hours (on the demo) but yes it's still very fun. I like the music a lot also, it's pretty hip.

Overall good game I highly recommend it, everyone I showed this to has had a lot of fun with it!
