The following bullet game (1 minute, no increment) reminds me of the campy 1960s "Batman" tv show, when battles between the heroes and the villains would have large words such as "Pow!" and "Bam!" superimposed over them, comic book style. See for yourself.

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6
7.Qxe5 Nf6
A simple solution that protects the Rook, but Black's best defenses - the Whistler (7...Qe7) and the Blackburne (7...d6) - both rely on offering the Rook.
8.Qxc5 c6
Or 8...d6 as in angelcamina - janpecsok18, lichess.org, 2018 (1-0, 17)
9.Qe3 Re8
Steady and principled, although 9...Nxe4!? directly was playable.
10.d3 d5 11.f3 dxe4 12.fxe4 Bg4
Mysterious. White's pressure on the King now builds and builds.
13.O-O b6 14.Qg3 Bh5 15.Bg5 Qd4+ 16.Kh1 Kg7 17.Bxf6+ Qxf6 18.Rxf6 Kxf6
19.Nc3 Kg7 20.Rf1 Rf8 21.Rxf8 Rxf8 22.Qe5+ Kh6 23.Kg1 Be2
Threatening checkmate, but overlooking the reply.

If you know your Jerome Gambit, and can think and move quickly, bullet chess can be a successful arena of play for you.
Check out the following online game from angelcamina, who has a whole minute to get the Jerome Gambit to work for him, and does just fine.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6
So far, so good for Black - but is this part of a defense he knows, or is this a reflex reaction to the check?
7.Qxe5 Nf6
Reflex. Black returns a second piece, and tries to find his way in an opening he doesn't know - two pawns down.
8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qe3 Rf8
Castling-by-hand is a standard defensive maneuver, and maybe Black should have continued.
10.O-O Be6
Sometimes this move is okay, and sometimes it is bad, but it always screams "throw a pawn at me!" to White.
11.d4 Qd7
This might be aimed at preventing f2-f4-f5, or it might be a bit of quick development (the clock is ticking), but 11...Kg8 was probably more consistent.
12.f4 c5
Aimed at the growing White mass of pawns.
13.e5
Or 13.d5
White's position is better, the first player knows what he is doing - and he might even be ahead on the clock.
13...dxe5 14.fxe5 Bf5
Trying to block the dangerous f-file, but Black can not afford to return any more material.
15.exf6 Kxf6 16.Qe5+ Kf7 17.g4 Black resigned
And that's that. Reminds me of the action sequence that "took less time than it takes to tell".
Nicely done.
