How to play
- Run as your own avatar through a Costa Rican town fair: market stalls, string lights, big-headed mascaradas, painted oxcarts and a river all around.
- On phones: the left joystick moves you (relative to the camera); on the right you have JUMP and POUND. Drag the screen to turn the camera.
- On a computer: WASD or arrows to move, Space to jump and Shift or E to ground-pound.
- The ground-pound is a little hop that slams straight down with a shockwave: it knocks over anyone nearby and helps you land right on top of a bucket.
- Nobody is eliminated: everyone plays all four rounds and scores points. Two races (the sooner you arrive, the more points), a coffee harvest (every cherry counts and golden ones are worth 3) and the grand final.
- Watch out for tipping buckets, roof tiles sliding off, water geysers, swinging oxcart wheels, spinning stalls and mascaradas dancing in your way. Fall in the water and you are back at the last checkpoint.
- The Great Bucket: climb the wobbly tower of buckets and ring the bell at the top. Every point you lead by is an earlier start. First to ring it takes home the Golden Bucket!
Bucket Rush is a 3D obstacle party game for 2 to 16 friends right in the browser, set at a Costa Rican town fair: cross bridges of tipping buckets, slippery tiled rooftops and streets full of dancing mascaradas, harvest coffee cherries and climb the Great Bucket to ring the bell. It is a points circuit with no eliminations, played with your own avatar. Nothing to download: everyone joins from their phone.
