Buckshot Roulette

 
6 Million High Rollers and counting, new games by Mike Klubnika and… a movie?May 8, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, High Rollers Today we’d like to begin by saying… Oh, my . Remember last time when we spoke about the sales numbers of Buckshot? We were all like “Yeah, we’re past 4 mil, let’s meet up at 8 next time”. I don’t think we expected to make that announcement any time soon. And we’re not. Not today, at least. But it almost feels bad to skip out on huge milestone, so today we’re incredibly happy to announce that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE HAS SURPASSED 6 MILLION COPIES SOLD ON STEAM To all of you, from those who were with us from our humble pre-multiplayer beginnings to those who recently joined our nightclub – thank you so, so much. Of course, this is also an incredible opportunity to celebrate your own dedication and love for BUCKSHOT ROULETTE, dear High Rollers. So today, we bring you… a BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Fan Movie: Having people who like your game go to such extreme lengths is the biggest form of flattery, and we are flattered beyond belief. Please go give it a watch, it’s probably about the best way of adapting Buckshot to live action. Well, unless Jack Black wants to play The Dealer, that is, lol. That’d be real funny. Speaking of the game itself, we know that you’re eagerly waiting for more news, but all we can say for today is that the Xbox Game Pass version of BUCKSHOT ROULETTE is still in production and is still on track to release later this year. Keep an eye out for future news for more details. And while you’re waiting for said news, why not try Mike Klubnika & wriks’ new computer game, Fused420? It is a short computer game about driving around in your vehicle, and meeting new people. The rest… you’ll have to find out by yourself. And if you need to be even more convinced, check out the glowing reviews from our dear customers: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/ef10d819a2d27b5eca300c52fb5a60d07e664bc9.png about average expected reaction after finishing fused420.

How fortunate.Jan 15, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, High Rollers Today’s announcement is on a shorter side, but very important for us nonetheless. The BUCKSHOT ROULETTE T-Shirts are back on menu via our beloved friends and partners at Fangamer {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/ea73910bdc1f1091721625acc60f9a6552a8c45c.jpg If you ever wanted to have the Dealer close to your heart and you mean that literally, consider getting one right now since apparently the stock runs out fairly quickly. We’ve also infused a third of the T-Shirt stock with a special power to always have a live round whenever you saw off a shotgun. Who knows, maybe you’ll get one of them? It’s a gamble and you seem to love it, right? But that’s not all. We also now have The Dealer Pins. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/6bb4049e5e1485fedbd742f395e2d907dd188719.jpg Featuring both The Dealer AND The Shotgun from the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Computer Game. You can even aim the shotgun straight at the Dealer’s face. How fortunate! If there’s ever going to be a live adaptation of BUCKSHOT ROULETTE by Mr. Beast, this is gonna be a part of the dress code for sure. And the T-Shirt of course, so start preparing in advance. Anyway, that’s all we have for you today. We’ll return to you soon enough with more messages, but for now here are the handy links to the merch: For US and International delivery For EU delivery If you're having a bad day, just remember that tomorrow could be a good day. It's a gamble. And once you realize you're gambling, you'll be happy again. Because gambling is awesome.

Just a small hotfix should be available for download now. - Fixed the bug where the phone was giving incorrect information to players in multiplayer.BUCKSHOT ROULETTE - Hotfix v2.2.0 patch notesDec 11, 2024 - Community Announcements- Fixed the lobby list refresh button resetting range to nearBuckshot Roulette Reached 4,000,000 Sales – And We Have A Present For YouDec 10, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, High Rollers It feels incredibly sentimental to write another one of these posts. After all, underneath our ruthless and greedy personas of Illegal Gambling Ringmasters are still just a bunch of nerds who love seeing people enjoy our video games. Even if some of the time they’re mad at us for getting blasted with a hand sawed shotgun in the face. So we want to thank each and every one of you for taking part in our dance between life and death and bringing BUCKSHOT ROULETTE to over 4,000,000 sales. Our dream of making 1 Million 4-People-Lobbies is now achievable! But we don’t want to stop there. We too are High Rollers at heart, so we declare that we’re aiming to double that number yet again no matter how much it takes! So today we are launching one of the most requested features for Buckshot’s Multiplayer – a Public Lobby Search. https://i.imgur.com/B9FKUf6.gif Hey guys! We've noticed an influx of reports about connection issues. Unfortunately, this is not on our end, and we can't fix it; however, we have a fix! Thanks to Bruno from Discord. You can try port forwarding UDP ports 4379 and 4380 to allow outgoing traffic. Keep in mind, that not every router allows for port forwarding. More info at: https://portforward.com/ With it you can have your dance between life and death with people all across the world with no need for such old-school techniques like ‘Finding Friends’ or ‘Joining Discords’. The progress is inevitable and our partners at Volta Standard Electronics did their best to keep up with the times and we hope you’ll love this new feature. Whether you are a newcomer in our night club or a long-time regular, we hope to see you back again and again and again and again and then some more. But before we wrap up, a quick message from CR Channel Crew: We’re happy to announce that THRESHOLD, a solo horror project by Julien Eveillé is OUT NOW on Steam. If you’re craving more horror with gritty PSX aesthetics and devastating story, give it a go, wontcha? In a lonely station atop a mountain, a train rumbles its precious cargo to places unknown.

The air is thin up here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ No matter how crowded the club gets, there’s always a seat for you. The night is coming to its end and a new day shall bring new terrors. Thank you. And see you again soon. Mike Klubnika & CR ChannelNominate Buckshot Roulette for "Most Innovative Gameplay Award"!Nov 28, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, High Rollers! Firstly, we’d like to share some development news. The voices requesting matchmaking in Buckshot Multiplayer overwhelmed even the nightclub’s music and the gunshots in the basement — we’re working on adding matchmaking into the game in the next update! https://i.imgur.com/B9FKUf6.gif Now we don’t have a concrete release date for it, but Lobby selection will be available soon and currently is in testing. Speaking of. It’s almost the end of the year, and you’ve probably noticed something thawing out from its slumber (besides festive songs). It’s the Steam Awards, baby! We won’t be pointing any shotguns at you, but might we suggest nominating Buckshot Roulette for “Most Innovative Gameplay Award”? After all, the game gave birth to a small sub-genre of other games! “Best Soundtrack” and “Better With Friends” would be pretty cool as well. Or maybe you dig the visuals of Buckshot Roulette so much that it deserves “Outstanding Visual Style Award”! Or maybe it was your personal “Game of the Year” (and if so, we’re very humbled!). Cast your vote! In any case, consider nominating Buckshot Roulette, or other Critical Reflex games, like Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs or THRESHOLD! And if You’re not familiar with them, here’s a quick link to every single one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2475490/Mouthwashing/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2763670/Arctic_Eggs/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ Vote! Or else… Jk, jk!

We sure did. Today we are bringing you our first substantial update for the multiplayer with some of the most requested features (that were easier to implement than the public matchmaking) and neat QoL improvements. Thank you so much for giving us your feedback – both Mike and the CR Channel Crew wanted to make sure you all know that we see everything and we’re building a roadmap for future updates as we are writing these patch notes. We’ll chat about that later when we’re ready though, stay tuned for that in the near future. And now, let’s get to the topic at hand: Added additional match customization settings that can be changed by the host: The starting health (or random) for each round. Up to 12 shell sequences in total (4 x 3 rounds) - any number of blanks or lives (up to 10 shells), or set specific sequences to be random. The number of items to grab per shell load can also be adjusted, or set to random. For each item, in any round: max item amount per player, max item amount on the entire table, and whether or not the item is used in-game. This allows games where there won't be enough items for everyone. Item grabbing will now be cut off for players that, in the middle of grabbing items, no longer have anything to grab from the available pool of items. By default, all match customization settings are set as the default that were used in previous versions. Changes can be reverted to default at any time. Players in the lobby will be informed of match settings that have been changed by the host, but will only see the category instead of the specific values. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/56a95015789568b7e65d505cf218835e45b195b2.png Added a free look mode: By default, holding down the right mouse button, or the left trigger on controllers, will now let the player look around. Free look is enabled throughout most of the game unless the shell sequence or the round indicators are shown, or other similar events take place. QoL Improvements and Bug Fixes The second volume of the soundtrack (mastered, with metadata) can now be found in the game files. Greyscale death can now be toggled under audio/video settings. Fixed a visual bug related to the basement window. Fixed the game softlocking when a player that is grabbing items disconnects, and all other players have finished grabbing items. Steam nicknames are no longer public. Fixed the disconnection message not working properly in most locales. Fixed the game crashing when stealing an item from a player that has disconnected. Fixed the cursor not being visible in some cases when exiting the options menu in multiplayer. Fixed a softlock for when a user disconnects during shell loading. Fixed a number of localization issues. Before we wrap up, a quick message from CR Channel Crew: Your next favorite horror game with gritty aesthetics and a gruesome story is here. We’re happy to announce that THRESHOLD, a ...Hit horror indie Buckshot Roulette soars on Steam after game changing updateOct 31, 2024 - PCGamesNOne thing indie games do so wonderfully is to take a concept and explore it freely. When you're dealing with multi-million dollar titles, risks can be tough to justify but a small team can double down on something with almost wild abandon. That's how we get focused and brilliant games like Balatro, Celeste, Shovel Knight, or even Undertale. Buckshot Roulette is another that doubles down on itself to wonderful effect, and it just got even better thanks to a big update. Read the rest of the story...

So we’ll do the honors and say: BUCKSHOT ROULETTE CR Channel Beta Begins Now. And here’s how you can get access to it: First of all, you need to have Buckshot Roulette in your Steam Library.

You will find the access code at our Discord server Update the game if the download hasn’t begun automatically Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer doesn’t have public matchmaking at the moment, so you will have to find people to play with the old-fashioned way — by making friends.

And if you still want to shoot (or get shot by) random strangers on the Internet, you can use the matchmaking bot at our Discord server We did our best to thoroughly test Buckshot’s multiplayer internally and among creators, but we don’t underestimate the capacity of you, High Rollers, to break games in half, so if you manage to encounter any bugs, please report them in this thread or at our Discord server, so it’d be easier for us to find.

First of all, important news: CR Channel Multiplayer Beta starts on October 28th, so mark the date!

Balatro's expansion on familiar poker hands, for example, has quickly become a frontrunner for the 2024 game of the year. Videogames thrive on taking a concept you know, and twisting it into something else. Buckshot Roulette is no different. What presents as a dingy take on Russian roulette quickly morphs into a horror experience unlike any other. Best of all, it's just $3 on Steam and we finally know when the multiplayer mode is coming.

So for all High Rollers at home, we’re releasing some of our own footage for you to feast your eyes on: We’re sorry for any friendships ruined in the process {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/652d41a02f46f6032f7069400ef2c6dbe9f080c0.jpg Not captured at the photo: a three-hour line to play Buckshot’s multiplayer {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/340a779a5ea94d2e57e16c6ae5f5292d87a3abcf.jpg Only one of them will walk out with a case full of money tonight. Of course we know that merely ‘just watching’ is not enough. The greed, the thrill, the high stakes — you can only experience these in action. So we’re inviting you to take it further. This October marks the first anniversary of CR Channel — a collective of brave developers pushing the envelope of the horror genre further than imaginable and a bunch of horror nerds from CRITICAL REFLEX with a dream. To celebrate we have prepared many, many surprises for you throughout the whole month waiting to be unpacked, like an advent calendar of sorts. And we’ll be launching the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer Beta as one of the gifts — sorry for spoiling the surprise a little. Hope you don’t mind. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/98939f6f035aec9b123a07e65a8f331793dbf7e4.jpg And for those of you lucky enough to be in Japan from September 26 to September 29, you can play the Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer earlier at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth. Not just on PC, by the way: by popular demand we’ve set up the Real Buckshot Roulette experience. Staring at the barrel of a shotgun has never been so fun, eh? But before we go, we have an announcement from CR Channel: Mouthwashing, a space horror tragedy brought to you by the masters of ‘weird’ horror at Wrong Organ of How Fish is Made fame, is OUT NOW on Steam. Follow the lives of the crew as they endure starvation, isolation, and the strain of dealing with each other. The ship will be out of power in six months, with food rations running out even sooner.

We know what you guys are all waiting for, and while we don’t have any announcements today, we wanted to let you take a look at the backrooms of our nightclub. Even if it’s still in development. So without further ado, let us begin. Would the shell loading machine please show itself for the demonstration? https://i.imgur.com/fcJziXE.gif Wonderful, thank you. The cat’s been out of the bag for quite a while, but we think it’s about time to officially confirm that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer will allow up to four high rollers to partake in the dance between life and death. Of course that meant that the old tech had to be replaced with something more suitable for a… bigger crowd. Thankfully, our colleagues at Volta Standard Electronics are the best when it comes to inventing efficient tools for bloody entertainment, so we’ll introduce you to some. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/9e55c5a32d68b248f99c0bf393d7cdc34a6d183f.jpg Starting off, of course, with a brand new playing table. Our priority was to make the game of chance as fair to all contestants as possible, so the Volta Engineers prepared a perfectly symmetrical table that would still allow all players to have 8 items at a time. And a rotation mechanism for a shotgun, since you wanted to see it in action so much. Of course, having more players together at the same table implies that there should be new items tailored around this mechanic specifically. Like this remote, which is . Or, I guess we can just say that it only makes sense with multiple people at the table for now. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/c557143ac9c11d5cfcbb9c6b1b6df1521f31f667.png That's enough for now, let's remove all this junk from the playing table and wrap this up. https://i.imgur.com/xnvgCQk.gif Note: All safety guarantees void if body parts remain on the table during clearing sequence Hope you enjoyed our little tour into the multiplayer zone of our nightclub. We’ll be back soon with more info, but for now — keep the bets coming, our dear High Rollers. But before we go, a quick announcement from the CR Channel Crew: THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveillé, is joining the CR Channel Family of deeply discomforting and beautifully unsettling video games. THRESHOLD is a short, dark and atmospheric First Person Exploration game picturing disturbing facts about an untold brutal story. Pick a country, start your shift and try to save the world with the help of your precious bucket, some Air Cans and a bunch of planks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/THRESHOLD/ Among twice as many players you better be twice as lucky. Good luck.

Of course we are all well aware of how talented and passionate our community is, but seeing so many people taking on Mike’s silly little challenge truly made a lasting impact and we're so grateful to have such a creative fandom. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! And now, let’s introduce the winners of Mike’s Art Challenge: First Place: (via Krybytes on Twitter) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/55175fc07aa3591a58aea2a34b070b25fcbfd981.png Second Place: (via _middaygardens on Twitter) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/9646a8fc3e3ba0342bc229a337c54648a189671e.jpg Third Place: (sent to Mike via email, but he loved it so much that he included it in) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/16c27f1cc5b000f518c5b07c1024e9e158cda5d4.png We’ll be contacting them on Twitter (or via email in case of the third winner) for further details, so if any of the winners happens to read this on Steam first — we’re coming for you. But it would be a shame not to showcase some of the runner-ups as our sincere token of gratitude, so here goes the list of our favorites in no particular order: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/39189a0a3c866a4190f73385c90fd1afc04683cb.jpg A really high effort *video* submission with a Bogus Dealer via VibaPop {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/557a7c6a181ed3d1bff7955eaee4932d8605430a.gif And another, also quite high effort video submission via Shifty_tm_ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/133acb45cd26fff3df0369b3ef2fe7d5702a50ba.jpg Who said the Dealer has to be a stoic, right? via PotassiumHere {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/6a2e0c76da60e939d322a9a91c83c4dfda298814.jpg Knife fight, you're gonna fight for your liiiiiife via Voxel_Moxel {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/868c82c2ebbc7baac3d2d003bdc79faa6f366896.jpg Having a death wish, punk? via PhoxPhorus {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/965e1baa19b108f4e6d1fc20e4eb0636f50587ac.jpg HAnd last, but certainly not least, a KinitoPET crossover via mnemoticz But of course these weren’t the only community creations we’d like to put our spotlight on, so let's finish it off with some of our beloved non-OC BUCKSHOT pics from this month As always if you want your art to get showcased next time: tweet at us using the #BuckshotRoulette hashtag or submit your art in the #fan-creations channel on our Discord server.

Double or Nothing? ☑|☒Jul 5, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, High Rollers We gotta be honest with you, we didn’t expect to write another one of these so soon, but yeah, you’ve seen the title, right: BUCKSHOT ROULETTE sold over 2 million copies! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for bringing us over yet another huge milestone for both Mike and the CR Channel Crew. It’s hard to put how touched we are into words, so we hope that our hard work on the multiplayer will be the testament to our gratitude. With two million BUCKSHOT ROULETTE copies sold, technically we could fill exactly one million 1v1 lobbies. Here’s hoping that we’ll be able to get to one million four-player lobbies in the future. See you again soon, High Rollers. From dusk till dawn, the game never ends. Good luck, high rollers. And thank you. ć̸͇e̷̫͝k̴̲̅ ̸̗̊o̷͓͗c̷̯̒ǹ̷͙c̵̻̈́f̵̹̈g̵͈̍v̸̹̋v̷͓͌q̷͚̆ ̶̟̅n̷̺͝w̵̱͋r̷͖̆q̶̳̒ Mike Klubnika & CR Channel Buckshot Roulette — Multiplayer Teaser, Summer Sale, New Bundle and moreJun 27, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/6715233946fe9d191964446485b303876f49aea6.png Greetings, High Rollers! Been a while since we announced that we’re working on multiplayer, huh? Well, today we intend to fill the Dealer-shaped hole in your hearts with some good news, so crack open a nice and cold can of Digita, get your defibrillators ready and let’s get right to it. Multiplayer development status As Mike mentioned in one of his Q&A answers, his style of development is mostly about figuring out the core mechanics, features, etc. and lots of polishing afterwards. So we’re happy to announce that we’re officially in the polishing stage of development. This doesn’t really mean that we have a release date for you all today, but we’ve had the chance to tinker with the prototype and we had an absolute blast with it. We asked Mike to let us share a sneak peek into the current state of multiplayer, and here’s a cute little screenshot he allowed us to show: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889921/2ab9cce5eb7afe4d69a4c781663af756861366f9.jpg Expect to hear more about the particular mechanics of this mode closer to its public launch, but we hope that this little glimpse into Buckshot multiplayer will make the wait a little more bearable. But it won’t take too long, hopefully. Speaking of things you can do before the multiplayer launch… BUCKSHOT ROULETTE IS 15% OFF ON STEAM SUMMER SALE And that means you can prepare for the multiplayer’s inevitable arrival by getting a copy of Buckshot for yourself or for your friends you’d want to have a dance between life and death with. (or just stuff Buckshot in your shopping cart along with some other games with decent discounts you’re never gonna install after buying, we don’t really mind that outcome as well.) But that’s not all. We collabed with Strange Scaffold to bring you yet another Buckshot Roulette bundle, now with an incredible (and dearly beloved by us) indie gem El Paso, Elsewhere. Introducing Super Strange Indie Shooter Bundle. Our title game is on point, we know. You know the drill: you get a better deal on two great games, we get more people in our nightclub. A win-win for everyone.
