Game Over
Beat the game, pass the test!
It’s that simple.
Meet Tristan. Part-time student, full-time gamer. Or, at least that’s what he’d like.
Unfortunately for Tristan, he’s still stuck having to deal with school work, tests, and deadlines when all he wants to do is play video games. And who wouldn’t?!
One day, Tristan wishes that he could play video games rather than taking tests, using his game scores as his test scores.
His wish just came true!
Now, whenever Tristan takes a test in school, he zonks out in the middle of class. Even though everyone else sees him fast asleep, including his childhood friend Kyoko, Tristan has actually been transported to a video game world. If he beats the game, he passes the test!
Although it may be fun platforming and battling his way through school, there have been a few unexpected consequences of his wish.

Meet the Characters
Tristan
Part-time student, full-time gamer, Tristan is all about playing the latest and greatest video games. Like most gamers, he wishes that he could just live in one rather than the boring real world that requires him to study and do things that he doesn’t want to do. One day, his wish comes true.
Mr. Adventure
Tristan’s newfound friend in the Game World, Mr. Adventure loves the thrill of fighting and is constantly in search of dragons to slay! In fact, Mr. Adventure often mistakes things for dragons… like chickens. As a result, sometimes his love of adventure and whimsy get him into trouble.
CoCo
One of Tristan’s companions in the Game World, CoCo is a drop-dead gorgeous bombshell full of energy! She, like Mr. Adventure and Tristan, enjoys games, but her favorite is Critter Companions: a game where she can summon animals to fight on her behalf. Bubbly and cheerful, CoCo is always there to cheer Tristan and Mr. Adventure on!
Console
Tristan’s guide and first contact in the Game World. Though Console is never seen on page, Console helps Tristan solve puzzles, provides him lore, and guides him through one perilous adventure after another.
Kyoko
It’s all work and no play for Kyoko, Tristan’s childhood best friend. She’s beautiful, athletic, and smart. And completely head over heels for Tristan. Unfortunately for her, Tristan seems completely oblivious. Despite this, she’s determined to keep him from straying too far from his studies so that he can at least graduate at the end of the year - which is just a few months away.
Sage
This charming, kindhearted, and athletic transfer student from Brazil is proud of his grades, soccer skills, and, above all, his hair. Because he wants to do whatever he can to help his friends, he finds himself unexpectedly pulled into Tristan’s drama.
Game Over: Level Eight
in Production!
Thank you to everyone who has supported Game Over since its first issue was published in 2012. It has been a long road and a lot has changed since the series was conceived. And, as a result, there have been days where I wasn’t sure I would be able to finish it. However, over the past four years, I have discovered a renewed love for the series. No matter what challenges I face or how the world changes, my passion for creating Game Over has never left.
I hope you enjoy some of the new art and will look forward to the last several books! If you’re interested in seeing Game Over produced, I hope you’ll support the series through my Patreon page. I’ll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum!
Happy adventuring, Heroes!
