Hello,

We have some honest exciting news to share today. The singleplayer campaign mode is now live! Update 20 is live for Windows and Mac. This is probably the biggest one we've done so far. We couldn't be more proud, and we'll love to tell you all about it. To commemorate, we will be running a sale for 2 weeks starting now! It's now the perfect time to pick up the game. The campaign mode is a whole new game, inspired by our love for fast action games and roguelikes. In it, you break free from the arenas you were forced to fight in, and must make your way through everchanging levels to defeat the mastermind behind the deadly game show 'Guns N' Boxes'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8vp2Fk_O0Q It's a challenging but rewarding experience. After clearing the singleplayer, compete for best time in online leaderboards with global and friend rankings. (This is also an invitation to beat our best times. Good luck) If you're a Twitch Streamer, enable Twitch integration and have Twitch Chat join your runs, changing elements as you play. Help or harm? You decide! All stages have received a graphic quality upgrade and they're looking better then ever. This is true for multiplayer as well. Please check the patch notes below for the full list of changes.

Guns N’ Boxes is a top-down single screen arena-style multiplayer shooter in which you shoot boxes, collect random weapons and use special items to unleash destruction upon everything that moves! Choose your favorite character from across the space-time continuum and duke it out using rifles, hot dog launchers, rail guns, tomatoes, arrows and tons of other weapons.

Pick-up-and-play!

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.
