OverThrust

OverThrust is a 2D physics-driven flyer built in Unity, inspired by 1990s Finnish classics and adapted for modern multiplayer. The demo map combines open space and cavern areas, with combat and movement governed by real 2D physics and authentic collider-based interaction.

The environment is destructible in real time. Damage permanently reshapes terrain and alters movement and combat space for the remainder of the match.

Key Features

• Online and local multiplayer (single-player planned)

• Physics-driven flight: thrust, inertia, rotation — momentum matters

• Persistent destructible terrain

• Critical damage system: sustained damage reduces ship control

• Bail-out mechanic

  • Exit a failing ship

  • Swing using a grappling hoo

  • Fight with a basic sidearm

  • Survive on foot and capture abandoned ships.
