That glitchy section around 1:37 in the first track goes so hard (probably my favorite track just for that section). I absolutely love the combination of textures there. Second stage sounds more tense and I get the vibe of stronger enemies. The glitchy embellishment adds a lot of energy here. Amazing work overall!

Description
Genre: Electronic/Chiptune/Digital Fusion
DAW: Jummbox
Music for a dark, high-octane, sci-fi adventure game
Follows the story of the protagonist, a former freedom fighter, who finds themselves in the CRUCIBLE, a sort of sci-fi gladiator arena in which contestants are swarmed by dozens of cybernetic abominations, created by twisting the minds and bodies of innocents through cerebral reconstruction and mechanical disfigurement. Our hero uses their combat knowledge and cybernetic augmentations in an attempt to not only conquer the Crucible, but to destroy it from the inside.
STAGE1 - The protagonist fights the Crucible's seemingly endless waves of contorted, psychotic enemies,
STAGE2- Dashing through the freshly-made heaps of scrapmetal and fried circuits, The protagonist escapes the arena, slashing and shooting their way through security, desperate to find the man behind the Crucible.
STAGE3 - Finally, our hero reaches the villain's office. Behind the golden, ornate doors, is a dark, shadowy figure, as they get closer, they realize it's moving... It's him! Somehow even more malformed than his creations, The writing mass shambles towards you, ready to fight to the death.
MISSION_COMPLETE - You Win :)
Message from the artist:
Good luck to everyone who entered the Jam!
How does it fit the theme?
Loads of punchy gritty, glitchy sounds to match the cyber-dystopia the game takes place in
