A tiny salvage robot bolts on everything it finds until it becomes a war machine.

OVERBUILT is a low poly arena roguelite about a scrappy little salvage robot with ambitions.

Your weapons fire on their own, you steer, dodge, grab the glowing scrap, and choose what gets bolted on next. Every weapon, System and mutation is a **real part on your robot**: by the ten-minute mark you're a teetering tower of saws, missile racks, tesla coils and drone bays. Then it gets silly. Complete an **evolution recipe**, destroy an elite, grab the OVERBUILD CRATE and your robot pulls its parts into its core, flashes, and slams down as a whole new frame.

This is a demo

This build covers the first two yards. Finishing Magnet Yard ends the demo's story and nothing locks: keep hunting Blueprints, masteries, paint jobs and the Codex, or chase a different transformation. More yards, more machines and more ways to overbuild are planned for the full game, and your demo progress carries over to it (same browser).
