The sequel to [http://www.wolfire.com Wolfire Games'] ''[[Lugaru (Video Game)|Lugaru]]'' and built on their proprietary Phoenix Engine, ''Overgrowth'' is a [[Beat'Em Up]] with strong [[Platformer|platforming]] and [[Parkour]] elements. Like its predecessor it follows the adventures of Turner, the [[Walking the Earth|wandering warrior]], but it will feature multiplayer, vastly improved graphics and physics, a wider range of weapons and combat moves, and new races (the original's rabbits and wolves plus cats, dogs, and rats <ref>and possibly a whale</ref>).
 
The game is in alpha right now, with a new build ([http://www.youtube.com/user/WolfireGames and a new demonstration video)] released each week.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[After the End]]: Concept art for ''Overgrowth'' (and [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|the name]]) may hint at this. It shows lots of out-of-place ancient ruins overrun by nature, all clearly [http://cdn.wolfire.com/blog/ruins/nanoarch.jpg remnants of] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfire-games/2983247026/sizes/o/in/set-72157608461285868/ heavily] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfire-games/2983247120/sizes/o/in/set-72157608461285868/ decayed] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfire-games/2982391259/sizes/o/in/set-72157608461285868/ modern] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfire-games/2982392069/sizes/o/in/set-72157608461285868/ architecture]. [[Shrug of God|Wolfire Games have decided]] to leave this possible backstory of the Lugaruverse [[Wild Mass Guessing|open to interpretation by players]].
* [[Almost-Lethal Weapons]]: Averted, at least for bladed weapons.
* [[Badass]]: Turner. In ''[[Lugaru (Video Game)|Lugaru]]'' he was the only rabbit able to take on wolves and win. It stands to reason things will escalate from here, seeing the addition of other animals, techniques and weapons.
** [[World of Badass]]: ''Everything''.
* [[The Blacksmith]]: Dogs are known for their weaponsmithing skills.
Line 17:
* [[Development Gag]]: The fearsome Whale Man was used as a reason why Wolfire wasn't going to put water in the game. He's currently in the alpha (albeit as an inanimate statue) and might make it into the full game in some form.
* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]]
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Wolves]]
* [[Funny Bruce Lee Noises]]: Well, that's what it sounds like if [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woRoM-9oH0o&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL the rabbits fight with animal sounds].
* [[Furries Are Easier to Draw]]: [[Word of God]] states that this is half the reason they designed the game around animals instead of humans. It also helps avoid the [[Uncanny Valley]].
