Bucko Storm

Bucko Storm v0.711 (1.09.2026)

Tempest meets a rhythm game! Skip along and shoot to the beat, things will happen.

Made for Amiya Aranha 2026 gamejam.

The browser version is prone to glitches depending on rig and browser; it may work fine, it may not work fine at all. For instance, on my system in the browser version the VU efect doesn't work, nerfing main menu and voyage mode a bit. Overall, the issues seem random... 

The .exe is the preferred way to experience the game.

Controls:
WASD / Arrows - movement
Mouse - aim and shoot

Space/ Ctrl / Numpad 0 - dodge (recharges every song) / random song switch (Voyage mode)
F11 - toggle fullscreen
Esc - exit mode / exit game
R - random song in menu
