BucketHead: Infinite
Just a janitor bot with a bucket... and a dream. Scavenge for scrap to upgrade your trusty pail. Dash, blast, and sneak past your vile human overlords and their enslaved machines to escape in this Metroidvania roguelite.

Each run is a new mix of challenges, but now you'll be prepared.

Thanks for the new BucketHead game
You bet! We had a blast developing a completely new and different experience, one that we think is a lot more entertaining, around the character.
This game is amazing! Big thanks to the team at Dancing Ember for all their hard work.
Thanks so much for your appreciation! The team will be overjoyed to hear their efforts paid off.
