Overkill

Overkill is 2D side-scrolling shooter, similar to Defender or Strike Force . The story is typical for sci-fi games - action takes place in 2690 A.D, the player is leader of the elite fighter corps and tries to end conflict between two big fractions. The player's ship can be freely moved on the screen (and screen can be moved in the left and right - just like in Defender). He shoots enemies, collect power-ups and rescue civilians. After a successful mission, he can choose next planet.

HISTORY

Craneballs Studio was a video game development company based in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2008. The company originally focused on web design and making graphics. It started to develop video games near the end of 2008 due to the 2008 financial crisis. Its first video game was released in 2009 and was financially successful. Its other games were successful too, so the studio grew from three people to around 20.
