Golem Overdrive — Dash, double-jump and wall-run your neon golem to the finish.
Golem Overdrive is a fast 3D cel-shaded parkour racing game for 1-8 players. Pick a chunky neon golem, then dash, double-jump and wall-jump your way through checkpoint-ring courses — the first golem through every ring wins the round. Race over 1, 3 or 5 rounds and earn placement points, or switch to Playground mode for free-roam maps and a toss ball you can pass around with friends. Real-time in your browser on desktop, no app and no sign-up. Heads up: Golem Overdrive is an open prototype — we do not know where this project is going yet, and that is the fun part. Tell us what to build next: hop into our Discord, hit the gold Feedback & Ideas button in the game, or reach us via gamebuddies.io.
Golem Overdrive is a free online party game for 1+ players — no download, no sign-up. It runs in any desktop browser — built for keyboard and mouse (no touch controls).
