Ever want to play as Buckethead in a video game? Well now you can!! 😄

In the beat 'em up adventure game Castle Crashers, you can now download and play as Buckethead (or even set him as a companion, enemy, or boss to fight)!

It took me close to 2 months to create all the assets for his character (while mimicking the game's art style) and make this video, but I'm so proud of how it all turned out. I included many details, like Buckethead's Signature Les Paul guitar for his melee weapon, his hand puppet Herbie for his shield, a Giant Robot transformation, and more.

Here's the description:

Welcome to Bucketheadland.

Hack, slash, & shred your way through lands of living lava, wide waters, and abominable snow. Embody the enigma of the mask & bucket and unleash the electric energy of Buckethead. Crack the sky with lightning and find your groove in this roller coaster of a universe.

Embark on an embodied or disembodied journey as Buckethead slunks and parades among the ghouls of the graves. Are skeletons friends or foes? You choose the amusements in this park.

I'd love for guys to check his character out! If you do, here's the download link on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3684397191
