Over The Top is a game made by Piga Software to mark Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day in the United States, and formerly Armistice Day). It is an action game set in the trenches of the Western Front during the First World War, meant to showcase the harrowing brutality of the conflict. The 2.x incarnation was written in Gambas 3.19.3 and uses Qt 5 for windowing and SDL 2 for audio. Graphics are sourced from the CC0 library from Opengameart.org and Openclipart, with sounds and music from the public domain portions of Freesound and Wikimedia Commons. Development tools used include the Gambas IDE, Inkscape, Audacity, KolourPaint on top of Arch GNU/Linux. Originally released in 2011 using the original version of the Gambas Arcade Engine with Gambas 2.x, the modern incarnation based on the second iteration and Gambas 3 with a graphical revamp was released on November 11, 2024.
