Hello!

We've updated the game today with some new stuff. Introducing the Territory game mode. Paint your way as you move through the battlefield and by killing opponents. The player with the most ground covered at the end of the round wins. The new round and round over menus have been reworked, and while they still use some placeholder graphics, they should be a nice upgrade. They also lower waiting times between rounds. Starting with this update we're introducing some custom analytics events. We want to be as transparent as possible: We'll be collecting gameplay data and error logs to help us improve and balance the game. No personal information is being gathered. Cheers!

Multiplayer Frenzy!

Brought friends? No problem! Up to 4 player local and online competitive modes. Fight for survival and prove your skills against the internet. Outshoot your foes, run for cover and become the best in this non-stop, wacky multiplayer gauntlet of bullets!

A Classic Charm

Pixel Art-style aesthetic and animations made with more love than your grandmother's cookies. Modern visuals with a classic feel that will take you back to the 16-bit era as if time hadn’t gone by. Guns N’ Boxes is some sort of a... "neoclassic" with unrelenting action to sate your thirst for adrenaline in pixels.

Pistols, Rifles, Foodstuffs and more!

Arm yoursef with the myriad weapons that are hidden within the boxes! Quick-firing pistols, foe-smiting railguns, exploding hot dogs and many other kinds of armaments can be used to wreak havoc around you. Master and fire laser beams, grenades and shotguns as you adapt to your situation. Oh wait... such a pity they all drop randomly!
