BPM: Bullets Per Minute
In BPM, all of your actions and the actions of your enemies are tied to the beat of the music. Your enemies perform a dance-like sequence of attacks to an epic rock opera. BPM is inspired by retro shooters of the 90’s. It is fast, frenetic and rhythmical. You can double jump, dash, rocket jump and bunny hop to evade your opponents.
What it feels like
The frenetic pace, rock soundtrack, and moment-to-moment flow creates a kinetic rush of speed and thrill. Overwhelming chaotic urgency with fast action and dense enemy attacks that demand precision and timing.
What it's about
The narrative arc involves defeating an ancient enemy, Nidhogg, following a classic quest structure.
How it plays
All actions and enemy attacks are tied directly to the beat of the music, making rhythm the definitive core mechanic. Shooting is the primary combat action in this FPS where hitting enemies on beat is essential. Dense enemy attack patterns must be dodged in a frantic, pattern-based survival challenge.
How it looks and sounds
The game is an FPS with a first-person perspective throughout. Fast-paced rhythm action typically uses stark visual contrast for clarity and timing feedback. The rock opera soundtrack provides orchestral-scale epic musical composition as a core aesthetic element.
How it's structured
Procedurally generated dungeons reset on death, defining the roguelike structure where runs are the primary unit of play. Dungeons are randomly generated, ensuring each run differs in layout and challenge. Designed exclusively for solo play with no multiplayer component.
