Player Consequence and Features
For players tackling the movement tech, Clipmatrix features no weapons aside from low-resolution JPEGs of an arm holding various knives or an old iPhone with a home button. Speedrunners can test their timing across a 100-level campaign and an endless race mode featuring 50 tracks.
To help players unfamiliar with the movement mechanics, the Steam page outlines a dedicated tutorial mode. This step-by-step training teaches strafe timing, momentum preservation, and speed mechanics from scratch.
Alongside the solo and endless modes, the title incorporates a virtual hangout hub and large lobbies capable of hosting up to 250 runners on a single track at the same time. Clipmatrix is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
