[h3]Do you have the coolest ROBOBEAT clips in town?

Prove it.[/h3]



To celebrate ROBOBEAT being 20% off in the Summer Sale, we’re running a competition for all of you rhythm cowboys out there.

ROBOBEAT is a roguelite rhythm shooter where you take on the role of robo-gunslinger Ace as he hunts down the chaotic showman Frazzer. With a name like that, you know he’s only making ace plays, and you should be too.

To enter the Ace Plays Competition, you’ll need to submit your coolest ROBOBEAT clip. Here are the rules:

• You must use songs from the ROBOBEAT soundtrack or one of the cassettes from the secret BPM: Bullets Per Minute, ULTRAKILL, or DUSK rooms. You cannot use custom music tracks. If you haven’t found the secret rooms yet, you can follow the links to our YouTube guides on how to find them for BPM: Bullets Per Minute, ULTRAKILL, and DUSK.
  
• You can switch tracks during the clip, as long as all of the tracks you use in the clip are from the ROBOBEAT soundtrack or secret rooms.
  
• We recommend you keep your clip to a maximum of 1 minute in length, otherwise the judges may not have enough time to watch the clip in full.
  
• You can edit the clip.
  
• You can submit an edited compilation of clips.
  
• You can use a clip that you have already recorded before the competition started, as long as it meets all of the above criteria. You do not need to record a clip especially for this competition.
  

We will not be checking any of the clips until after the competition deadline, so you must be sure that your clip follows the rules before you submit it. If you are unsure about the rules, please feel free to ask questions or share your clip in the ROBOBEAT Discord and a moderator will confirm if it meets the competition criteria or not.

[h3]Once you’ve prepared your clip and you’re sure it meets the competition criteria, all you need to do is follow the link here and submit your clip via upload or via YouTube. Please only use one method to submit your clip.[/h3]

If you submit via YouTube, you can submit it as a listed or unlisted video, but please ensure your video is not private, otherwise we will not be able to view it. Please also make sure your clip meets the competition criteria before you submit it, as you will only be able to submit your clip once and you won’t be able to change your entry once it has been submitted.

After the deadline has passed, we’ll be sifting through all of the clips and picking out what we think are the top 10 coolest ones.

But what does it mean to be cool?



We’ll be looking for clips that include lots of combos, trick plays, parrying, and masterful use of abilities. Getting a Rhythm God clear at the end certainly won’t hurt your chances either!

Once we’ve narrowed it down to our top 10, we’ll be putting it to a public vote! We’ll be letting the community members vote on their favorite clips in the ROBOBEAT Discord from our top 10 in order to determine the winner.

The lucky winner of the Ace Plays Competition will receive a pair of AKG K702 studio headphones and a ROBOBEAT bucket hat! The 2nd and 3rd place winners will each receive a ROBOBEAT bucket hat.

The deadline to submit your clip is Sunday July 21st, so get your entries in as soon as possible!

Please Note: By submitting your clip to the competition, you are agreeing to give us the rights to use your clip in marketing material for ROBOBEAT. Credit will be given to the creator of the clip.
