Overloop - condemn countless copies of yourself to death in a dystopian puzzle-platformer
Indie publisher Digerati is delighted to announce it's teaming up with developer Charge Games to bring clone sacrificing puzzle-platformer, Overloop, to PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Overloop will launch first on PC, arriving 26th August on Steam, Epic, GOG, Humble, and other storefronts. The console versions will follow in Q4 2022 (exact release date TBC). Created by Charge Games - a development duo of George Kobyakov (programmer, game design, artist) and Charles Bardin (narrative design, sound design) - Overloop is a light-hearted adventure set in a dark future where big brain scientists create a cloning gun - the Quantum Matter Replication Device - and their profit-hungry paymasters sell it to the masses, with disastrous consequences.
"We are a small team, but we are huge game fanatics. We're especially crazy about fun gameplay, atmosphere, and humor. And story. And music," explains Kobyakov. "Our goal was to successfully combine all these elements into a game, and we think we've achieved that with Overloop. It's the game we've always wanted to create and we can't wait to share it with the world!"

Anyways, I wish more games got inspired of what made old games great; good gameplay.
A (fake) retro look doesn't compensate for poor gameplay, even though so many game developers play on nostalgia these days, but it's really a false nostalgia.
Note: I haven't played the title in question here.
Looks like it's loosely based on "Venture Brothers" - You know, Rusty finds a weird, old device his dad created and now he's trying to sell it for a profit and doesn't give a damn about the consequenses as long as he gets paid.
