BonkCity

About this game

FOUR MODES. ONE BLOCK. INFINITE RUNS.

BonkCity ships with four ways to play, all built on the same ruthless late-90s hip-hop horde-survivor core.

🎮 FOUR GAME MODES — ALL IN AT EARLY ACCESS

  • STANDARD — Classic arcade run. Fresh seed, one life, 15-minute clock, boss at the end. Pick-up-and-play.

  • DAILY GAME — One shared map, every player on Earth, every 24 hours. Climb the global leaderboard. Your ONE best run of the day counts. UTC reset.

  • ENDLESS — No clock. No mercy. Difficulty keeps stacking after the boss — see how deep you can go before the city chews you up.

  • CUSTOM — Paste a Bonk Code from a friend (or a streamer, or a random Redditor) and play the EXACT run they played. Same map. Same seed. Same loadout. Go beat their score.

🎤 BONK CODES — SHAREABLE RUNS

Had a stupid-good run? Hit pause, copy your Bonk Code — a short alphanumeric string that encodes your map seed, character, loadout, mixtape, and drip.

Paste it in Discord. Post it on Twitter. Someone else pastes it into Custom mode and plays the exact same run. Not a replay. A re-do. Same hand, different player.

Asynchronous PvP for people who hate PvP.

🏙️ THE VIBE — LATE-90s HIP-HOP

It's 1998. Boom-bap kicks. Vinyl crackle. Spray-paint tags on every wall. Turntables as weapons. Gold chains as armor. Your mixtape is an actual mixtape. The boss is the Industry Plant — and he is NOT your friend.

BonkCity is a love letter to the era when hip-hop ate the mainstream whole — the duffle bag, the block party, the scooter, the attack dog, the beats that would not quit.

⚔️ HORDE SURVIVOR, EVOLVED

Auto-fire weapons. Infinite enemies. Build-crafting that rewards bold picks. If you love the genre, you know exactly what you're walking into.

  • 14 weapons — The Mic, Vinyl Disc, Spray Can, Gold Chain, Turntables, Attack Dog, Weed Brick, and more

  • 6 evolutions — pair the right weapon with the right drip and watch it transform (THE COLLAB, BLOCK PARTY, and 4 others)

  • 2 playable characters at launch — Trixie (dash-and-burn) and Big Stacks (lime-scooter control)

  • Duffle Bag Slot Machine — the loot drop nobody else has. Spin for drip. Stack your fits.

  • Cell Tower Capture — stand in the dome for 3 seconds, unlock permanent buffs for the run

  • The Industry Plant — a 3-phase boss at 14:00 with patterns that will actually kill you

📶 OFFLINE-FIRST, ONLINE-OPTIONAL

Plays on the plane. Plays on the Deck with no signal. Plays when your wifi dies mid-run. The Daily map is cached locally — offline scores submit when you reconnect. Leaderboards are never required to have fun.

🛹 ACCESSIBILITY

  • Full controller + keyboard/mouse support

  • Steam Deck Verified (target)

  • Scalable UI, colorblind-friendly enemy silhouettes, remappable everything

  • Optional screen-shake / flash reduction

👥 SOLO-DEV (ish)

BonkCity is built by 44G — a tiny team shipping something we'd want to play ourselves. Every update ships with a real patch note you can read in under 30 seconds. No live-service FOMO. No battle passes. No microtransactions. You buy the game, you own the game.

BonkCity

Four modes. One block. Play the daily seed everyone on Earth plays, climb a server-verified leaderboard, go Endless for the bragging rights, or paste a Bonk Code to run any scenario seed-for-seed. A 90s hip-hop horde survivor that plays offline and plays with friends.
