BUCKET TIME

You need a thrill.

Story:

An adrenaline junkie with a bucket on his head drifts aimlessly all across Olathe in search of fights and violence. This routine changes when he encounters a strong man that feels different from anyone he met up until now. A strong man that he can’t help but fixate on.

Features:

• A complete gameplay shift. The focus is now on real-time 2D platforming and side-scrolling action. Inspired heavily by Katana Zero. There are no turn-based fights. A different, painful, experience.
• 8 distinct Levels of escalating difficulty, each of which feature unique settings, mechanics, and ideas. (Part 1 of the game only includes 5 out of the planned 8 main levels of the game.)
• Multiple bosses with complete move-sets and multiple phases to culminate the end of levels. A true thrill for once.
• 3 weapons, each of which gives you new ways to approach levels and combat. More tools to play with.
• Pain Mode which turns everything about the game to be harder, with changes to enemy behaviors and even new phases to bosses.
• RUSHER MODE
• Extra stuff! Palettes that change how Buckets looks like, optional modifiers to existing weapons, secrets, and more! Don’t overthink it.
• The story is not important. The choices don’t matter. You don’t need to think about this.
• It’s better this way.
• An escape from a life ruining experience.
