OVERLOAD

Every roll is a gamble. OVERLOAD is a fast, tactical dice game about pressing your luck. Roll the dice, then choose: mark a valve now to lock in points, or hold out for a better number and risk stalling. Lines fill left to right and score big the more you mark, so one well-timed seal can swing the whole game. Push too hard and you take a fault. Hesitate too long and a rival beats you to the finish. It teaches itself in a single round. The board lights up every legal move, so you are playing - not reading a rulebook - within seconds. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING - Real decisions every turn: lock it in or push your luck. - Quick games that fit a coffee break, with just enough depth to feel earned. - Beat your best, build a win streak, and watch your record climb. PLAY YOUR WAY - Solo vs smart AI on three difficulty settings, from Steady to Critical. - 1 to 4 opponents, your call. - Live online matches: host a game, share a 6-character code, and a friend joins in seconds. Fill any empty seats with AI. No account, no friend list, no waiting. TRACK EVERYTHING - A full reactor log: games played, win rate, current and best streak, best score, fastest win, and your solo and online records. WANT MORE TENSION? - Flip on the optional Chain Reaction variant: every line you seal earns a free bonus mark, so a good turn can snowball into a great one. HONEST AND CLEAN - Free. - No ads. - No in-app purchases. - No account required to play. - Solo play works offline. Roll, mark, race, win. Then go again.

You are the duty officer on an air-defence console. Contacts appear on the scope. You do not know what they are. Query IFF, wait three seconds, then read the returned data โ€” speed, altitude, radar cross section โ€” and INFER the threat yourself. The game never labels it for you. Then the real decision: which weapon? An IR missile costs $150k. A radar missile costs $350k. CIWS costs $5k. The laser is free but needs time you may not have. Fire the expensive one at a cheap drone and you win the engagement while losing the operation. A leaker that reaches the centre damages a facility. Lose enough facilities and the operation is over โ€” no matter how much money is left in the vault. โ€ข Infer, don't be told โ€” no automatic threat labels, ever โ€ข Four weapons with real trade-offs in range, cost and reload โ€ข Ammunition economy: every shot is a decision you pay for โ€ข Graded S to F on five criteria, with hard caps for downing a friendly โ€ข DAILY OPERATION โ€” the same operation for everyone, one attempt a day โ€ข FREE OPERATIONS โ€” endless seeded operations across four difficulty tiers No ads. No energy timers. No in-app purchases. Everything is unlocked. iPhone and iPad.
