How to play Overflow

The object of the game is to channel water over a landscape to the safety of an exit in a given time limit. There are many obstacles and perils on the landscape to hinder your progress.

You control the SuperGOO with your mouse. Using this you must build pathways and fill dangerous gaps to lead the water to safety.

Using the SuperGOO
The SuperGOO is drawn by click / dragging with the LMB. You can also erase by click / dragging with the RMB. NOTE: There is only a finite amount of SuperGOO per level.

Meeting the demands
To complete a level you must channel a certain percentage of the water deployed to the exit zone within the given time limit. Once you have enough you will be told the exit is open. Clicking the exit sign will complete the level.

Obstacles
These include bombs, lifts and gates. You must use skill and practice to over come them.

Screen layout
The screen has various pieces of information placed around it. They are as follows:

Time:- This is displayed at the top of the screen in minutes / seconds.
SuperGOO:- Situated on the Top-Right of the screen. This shows how much SuperGOO is left.
Quotas:- At the bottom-left of the screen is the water required and saved percentages.

Additional keys
F12 can be used at anytime to take a screenshot and save it on the local C drive.

Menus

You can access Overflow's menus at anytime during the game by either hitting the escape key or clicking the wheel mouse button (if present). This will pause the game and popup the main menu. You navigate through the menu using the Up / Down arrow keys or scrolling the wheel mouse. To select a menu item hit the Return key or click with the LMB. The menu functions are as follows:

New Game
This will allow you to choose a save slot and begin a new game.

Load Game
Load a game from a selected slot.

Options
Configure Overflow graphics modes and features.

Register / Freestyle
Enter an unlock code to make Overflow a full game through this menu. See Upgading to a full version. Once converted into a full version this menu becomes the freestyle mode. This gives you a blank screen and constant flowing water. You can then play around with as much SuperGOO as you want.

Quit
Exit the game.

Upgrading to a full version

This Shareware version of Overflow only allows you to play up to level 5. If you would like to play all 15 levels just visit the Sibos website to purchase a full license username and registration key. Once you have these simply enter them in the Register menu to unlock Overflow.

Feedback

Overflow is being constantly tweaked, enhanced and worked on. When a new version becomes available it will be posted on the Sibos website. If you find a potential bug or wish to suggest an improvement to the game please send a Feedback email.
