Flash End-of-Life, Ruffle Integration!
This game runs on Adobe Flash. Effective Jan. 2021, Adobe began blocking its flash player's use everywhere. Kongregate is now partnering with Ruffle to make some of our Flash content playable again. Please note: If you are using Ruffle, badges will not work normally. In order to earn a badge in a Flash game, you will need to complete the badge, then submit a screenshot (showing both proof of completion and your username) as a missing badge report using the report missing achievement option. Also, please join us in the Kongregate Discord for all the latest Kongregate news!

Description
Did you know there's more information being created in a second than you could consume in your entire lifetime?
Information Overload is a retro-style shooter based on a simple concept: information is flowing through the series of tubes that is the Internet, and it is threatening to overwhelm you. Shoot it! Shoot it all!
The information in the game is gathered from dozens live sources, including Twitter, Google News and many of the world's top newspapers and blogs.
The game is open source. You can find the source code here:

How to Play
Arrows to move, X to shoot!

It's a hoot, but I'd like to see more powerups in the first few waves.

OK, Now it loads. Awesome idea, ET. It needs some re balancing, though. The difficulty curve is jaggy, and the power-up distribution is all over the map. One game I get three in a row, the next I don't even see one. That said, even with all the flaws, this is 4/5 and favorited.
