Buckle Up! is a new, fast-paced multiplayer shooter that falls into the “party” genre. In it, you control various characters on small to medium-sized maps across different modes, including deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag. You can play this title on Steam starting today, and we had the opportunity to meet the developers at this year’s Expo Gameri event in Opatija. The full version of the game is expected in the third quarter of this year.

The core fun of Buckle Up! lies in the competition with two to six players per lobby. Matches take place on dynamic maps with rotating mini-games that have their own objectives. The winner is the one who accumulates the most points. This title is specific for its weapon flexibility; you will find new weapons as you play or you can choose between several available ones whenever you wish, but it is also important to collect their attachments. Furthermore, there is an option to headbutt an opponent to stun and eliminate them more easily.

Buckle Up! also allows for deep character customization with hats, masks, and various cosmetic accessories. 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 game genre: “We wanted to make something that is pure fun,” the duo from the studio told us in Opatija.
