From GameStop to game-trapped, Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is a fast-paced platformer where one bad cartridge leads to a wild, glitch-filled adventure.

When Buck, a die-hard retro gamer, buys a mysterious cartridge labeled “DEFINITELY NOT A CURSED CARTRIDGE” from his local GameStop, things go sideways fast. The moment he pops it into his Chromatic, he’s sucked through the screen and trapped inside the game! To escape, Buck must battle through pixelated worlds, outsmart glitchy bosses, and uncover who—or what—is pulling the strings. With help from a rogue hacker, hidden cheats, and his trusty blaster, Buck’s only way out is to beat the game itself.

    Old school vibes done right

    Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is just pure fun. The whole cursed cartridge theme is a clever concept and it works really well. Controls feel tight and the levels keep you hooked. Definitely one of those games you pick up for a few minutes and end up playing for hours

    Bucking Awesome

    Buck is a great game. Challenging enough to keep you playing. Not over complicated that you give up. It’s like a mashup of Zelda, Mario Bros, Bomberman, and Castlevania. The levels are like puzzles that you have to solve while stomping and shooting the enemies.

    Love it!

    I really enjoy Buck and the Cursed Cartridge. The game is fun, challenging, and has a great retro feel. The level design is creative, and the chase sequences are especially exciting. It truly captures the spirit of classic action platformers.

    I did run into a problem in stage 2-7 during the chase wall section. At first, I was unable to destroy the wall and could not pass the level. After trying many times, I discovered that when I disabled the Dash function in the settings, I was able to clear the stage successfully.

    I’m not sure whether this is intentional game design or a small bug related to timing or mechanics, but I wanted to share my experience in case it helps other players.

    Overall, I really like this game and had a great time playing it. It’s a fantastic addition to the Chromatic library, and I look forward to future updates and releases.
