There were once two mighty rulers of neighboring monarchies who each declared themself the "ruler of the world." Obviously, there can only be one ruler of the world, so they hate each other. "I must have my neighbor dethroned!" they both think simultaneously. And so, both embark on a quest to raise an army (since neither actually rules anybody yet), storm their rival's castle and TAKE. THEIR. THRONE!

Overthrone is a competitive multiplayer tower defense arena game that dares to answer the question "what if Pikmin was made by a college student and also bad?" This prototype was made in 3-ish months as a college game design portfolio project. It is local multiplayer only. THIS GAME REQUIRES TWO CONTROLLERS.

I apologize for this accessibility issue, but if you're able to play it, I hope that you and your friend (or enemy) enjoy it!
