Step 1: SELECT YOUR GAME

Choose a video game, any video game. Weirdness and obscurity encouraged.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Step 2: LOAD THE TRACK

Create your game-inspired masterpiece.

You can remix an existing track, reinterpret a game theme, create an original composition inspired by a game, or build an entirely new musical universe around one.

Instrumentals are especially encouraged, but lyrics and samples are all welcome.

Think anything that makes somebody want to grab a controller. The more recognizable the energy, the better.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Step 3: DESIGN THE COVER SCREEN

Your cover art should be based on or inspired by the game that inspired your music.

Consider:

🕹️ Characters
🎮 Environments
👾 Enemies
💾 Retro interfaces
⚔️ Boss battles
🌌 Game worlds
✨ Power-ups

You don't need to literally recreate the game's box art. Interpret, remix, re-imagine, mutate.

If someone sees the artwork and immediately thinks:

“I NEED TO PLAY THIS.”

You nailed it.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Step 4: BONUS LEVEL - MAKE IT MOVE

Animate your cover.

Create a fake game trailer.

Build a boss fight.

Create a pixel-art animation.

Make a ridiculous arcade attract screen.

Extra points for makingbthe song seem like it is actually playing inside a game.
