The clip submission window for BPM: Bullets Per Minute‘s community competition is nearly shut. The developers announced that entries close in just two days, urging players who haven’t yet submitted their footage to do so immediately.
The rhythm-action FPS roguelike tasks players with shooting, jumping, and dodging to the beat of an epic rock soundtrack while navigating randomly generated dungeons. Every action, from weapon fire to enemy attacks, locks to the music. Players choose from 10 different characters, wield weapons with unique firing and reloading patterns tied to the beat, and collect over 60 items that buff their builds in distinct ways. The goal pushes through seven bosses before facing the final confrontation against Nidhogg.
What makes clip submissions particularly compelling in BPM‘s case is the genre’s inherent spectacle. Successful runs require split-second timing synchronized to rhythm patterns, creating moments of precision that translate well to video. Whether landing perfect dodges through projectile fields, executing bunny hops in sync with the beat, or chaining abilities mid-air, the game’s mechanical demands naturally generate highlight-reel material.
Clip contests encourage players to push for creative, skillful moments worth capturing and sharing, which in turn keeps the game visible across social channels long after release. With time running out, players hoping to participate should head to the official site to confirm submission details and deadlines before the window closes entirely.
