A rhythm shooter roguelike sounds like a really fun idea, and now you can try it yourself in KILLBEAT which just released a demo with Native Linux support. From Kalma Games, an independent Finnish game studio.

KILLBEAT is a rhythm shooter roguelike where you make music with guns and guts. Descend into Cadence Drop, a rift opened by the cataclysmic awakening of a godlike being at the heart of the planet. Engage in fast, brutal, skill-based gameplay as you fight your way towards the source of the beat. With the demo you get a good look at the first biome of the game, which showcases the core mechanics. The developer is also hosting a competition to win a full Steam key.

I love the look of this, but I'd have to resist just firing up Bullets Per Minute instead!
