Buckle Up! is a new, fast-paced multiplayer shooter in the “party” genre. You control various characters on small to medium maps across modes like deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag. You can play this title on Steam starting today, and we had the chance to meet the developers at this year’s Expo Gameri event in Opatija. The full version is expected in Q3 this year.
The core fun of Buckle Up! lies in competing with two to six players per lobby. Matches unfold on dynamic maps with rotating, objective-based mini-games, where the player with the most points wins. The game stands out for its weapon flexibility, you’ll find new weapons during play or choose from several available ones whenever you want, while also collecting their attachments. Plus, you can headbutt opponents to stun them for easier eliminations.
Buckle Up! also offers deep character customization with hats, masks, and various cosmetic items. Behind the game is Chunky Pixel Games, a small but passionate team from Rijeka. They created the game as a “love letter” to the party genre: “We wanted to make something that’s pure fun”, the studio duo told us in Opatija.
