Rise for the Fight - Overshield Preview + Matchmaking Playtest

I have another progress update for you. I have a new powerup for my game: Overshield!

Overshield will give your shields a one-time-per-pickup 3x boost. This powerup looks like a green orb, and will replace the Quick Escape powerup for now, as Quick Escape has issues with interacting with the map.

With that said, Overshield will also replace your shirt color for a glowing color to indicate your overshield status.

Anywhere from 1x to 2x shield will make your shirt glow green, and anywhere from 2x to 3x will make your shirt glow red. This also applies to the shield bar, which changes to the same colors depending on your shield amount.

Here's what that looks like:

With that said, this will be available in the playtest branch, so if you'd like to give it a try with friends, feel free!

There will be a playtest session this weekend from 4/18/25 to 4/21/25. As usual, feedback is always appreciated.

I look forward to seeing you there! -Reece
