Excellent work everyone! 

Game feels amazing to play! I love the use of office supplies as items. I found myself trying to tactically manoeuvre myself to save the computers for the right moment - well done! The boss was incredibly cool too! Her mechanics were very fitting to both the story and the gameplay itself!

The wheel mechanic at the end of each level was great,  each upgrade definitely felt worthwhile! I especially loved the death wheel. It came in clutch on my second run ;)

Wonderful sound design and music throughout! Music fits the game to a tee and I love the death sfx hahaha! 

Art is incredibly polished! I absolutely love the title art and the character design!

Overall you guys have provided the full package! A monumental task in just a week so absolute hats off to you all! Incredible work guys!

Hey Kazak,
So great hearing from you! Hope you're doing well! 

Thanks so much for playing our game! Glad you enjoyed it!
Also, really appreciate the detailed feedback and helping us with a bit of the troubleshooting. 

RIDE OR SLIDE 'TILL WE DIE!!! <3

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! 

Yes, I did music & sound! Relatively new to sound design and foley but I was very proud of how the spinning turned out! Did a lot of workshopping with the team to make it feel satisfying for the player. Guitars were all live recorded, but the drums were written and produced in Ableton using one-shots!

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to write this, it has made my day! Keen to check out Contract: Deathloop when I’m back on my PC!

Simple but very fun and well executed! The spinning feels great and I really love the art style of the owl! 

I enjoyed the decision making process throughout. It was really engaging working out whether certain decisions were worth the risk. Very well done!

I gambled all my son's college tuition on Elephant now my wife isn't answering my calls :(

Great submission! I enjoyed the movement and stacking up the coins was very satisfying. The little details like getting dizzy when you jump on the wheel was very cute. Well done!

At first it was a bit tricky to get a hang of the controls but after a couple of runs I found it fun dodging the obstacles. I like the art style! I would have liked a volume slider as the music was a little loud with headphones on! Well done!

Love the style! You definitely capture the N64 vibe with the colour palette and textures! I managed to find 8/10 treasures. Love the progression and how you can slowly make it further from your starting position with upgrades.

Highlight for me was the sound design and music. Compositions were fun and well mixed and are definitely on theme. Loved the dialogue slider in the options, I found myself sliding it for a while to see how long the recording went for hahaha!

Overall, a well executed and polished game! Well done guys!

Hey Tempest,

Thank you so much for the kind words! Tuned into the vod after the stream and it absolutely made my day watching you jam out to the title track! Had so much fun writing the soundtrack and very grateful to work with such a supportive and talented team. Thanks for playing!! <3

Thank you so much for the feedback! Means a lot that you went out of your way to check it out on Soundcloud! Need to jump on my PC and check out Frustorante after work but just checked out the trailer on YouTube and the composition is absolutely top notch! Very keen to play it! <3

Feels super slick! Love the addition of the trick system that upgrades your weapon! Movement feels smooth. Love the artwork and the jungle music for the title track is awesome! Great work!

Stunning ambience and vibes throughout! You’ve really captured the dream-like essence of the prompt! The theme is constant throughout while having a variety of dynamic range. Awesome stuff!

Love the bossa-nova in the first track - the lead line is beautiful melodically and tonally! Beautiful soundscape in the second track. I love the contrast of the guitar and pad. 

The reversed?? pads in the final track are so cool - the texture and tone is unbelievable. Huge fan of the chords you’re playing too! Well done!!

This is awesome! Love the drums/percussion throughout - super solid! Also a huge fan of the saturation you used in the first track! Well done!

Huge fan of the sound design you’ve done for this OST! Love the bit crushed texture of the first track and the wet rhythmic pads in the second! That bass in the third track has an awesome crunch to it and keeps the song grooving along! The fourth track is my favourite- love the jazz influence and the percussion is nuts! So good!!

Love the medieval style! This gives me so much nostalgia from playing RuneScape as a kid! Well done!!

Beautiful orchestration mixed with some lovely ambience and sound design! Impressive mix too - well done!!

Straight off the bat I love the saturation you’ve got on the piano part, it’s so thick and warm! Beautiful chord progressions and support from the strings! I love where you take things when the percussion kicks in! All the motifs you presented were really catchy! The final one with the gliding synth was my favorite! Nice work! 

Love the dreamlike lead in the first track! The underlying chords with the pad fleshes out a lovely soundscape! A beautiful motif in the second track! The tone you have in the arp part on the third track is so good! You’ve created a very consistent sounding OST and I can definitely picture it in the game you described! Well done!!

Beautiful instrumentation! Love the chimey synth that fills up the high-end in the first track - it’s really lovely and ethereal! I love where you take things in the second track and beyond, leaning into the rock influences with the drums but still retaining the beautiful orchestration. The two styles compliment each other so well! Fearmonger is such an awesome finale, I’m getting Anamanaguchi vibes - it’s so cool! Beautifully consistent and exciting soundtrack - well done!!

This is nuts! Fantastic guitar playing and I‘m a big fan of your tone! Haven’t heard anything like this all jam and I’m in love! 

Wonderfully unique composition! First time I’ve heard punk/rock mixed with chiptune and strings - nice work! The electronic drums in the second half are really cool! 

Fantastic composition! Love the energy throughout and it’s really well produced and mixed - everything is so clear! Amazing!!

I’m in love with the gritty atmosphere you’ve created in the title track!! Fantastic sound design and production throughout! So much variety in the 14 tracks (HOW!?) - Amazing work!!

The sound design and atmosphere in the first track is nuts! I love how you incorporated some of the percussive motifs in the bubble parts, that was a really cool touch! Beautiful bubbly compositions throughout! Huge fan of all the sounds you're using whether it's orchestral, SFX or synths! Amazing vocal work too!

This exudes creativity! Love the underlying crystallizer beneath the piano and the accompanying pads/strings throughout! Creating a mostly piano-only focused piece brings a very personal, stripped back perspective to your OST which I'm a huge fan of! Amazing work!

Beautiful leitmotif set up in the first track! Love how the track builds and leads into Rough Waters, upping the ante in the energy. Big fan of the SFX you've included throughout - it does a great job at reinforcing the story! The darker colours of Stay Afloat are a beautiful contrast while still retaining the leitmotif! Incredible compositions here! Well done! 

This is awesome! Love the mixture of classical and metal influence! Everything gels together so well! The drums are well written - the tracks are filled with energy and the finale is a breath of fresh air to close out the soundtrack! Well done!

Love how much variety you've got going on throughout the soundtrack! All the guitar parts are really well written and played! I'm a big fan of the goofy sounds in the second track - so playful! The vocal work is stunning in the finale and a wonderful way to end the soundtrack! Well done!!

What an incredible story you've told through your music and description! It blows my mind how much thought you put into this - crafting the storylines (and including Easter Eggs mind you) plus writing a 14 track soundtrack! Hats off to you! The voice work used throughout is amazing. Beautifully produced and mixed. Well done!

Some beautifully eerie compositions here! Love the guitar focus - is that you playing? It's so good! I love the 'free' feeling time in 'Pictures of Life'! The optimistic finish in the final track was a welcome addition! Wonderfully unique submission, well done!

Huge fan of the mixture of electronic and orchestral elements! The underlying zaps and lasers are a subtle and pleasant touch that reinforces the atmosphere you’re craving in these two tracks! Some fantastic sound design with the synthesizers you’ve used! Well done!

Some beautifully crafted compositions! I loved the two main motifs you wrote for the Main Theme, beautiful! Both tracks capture the feeling of exploration to a tee! Well done!

Incredible ambiance in the first track! Really well arranged, I love where you take the ostinato in the piano, handing it over to the strings then chimes. Beautiful motif in the second track! I’m a big fan of the epic finale - what a great way to close out the soundtrack! Well done!

Amazing composition! I love how you’ve melded both electronic and orchestral influence so seamlessly together! The chip-tune drums are a very tasteful addition! So much substance - and in only a day?! Hats off to you! Fantastic work! 

Love how much mystery oozes out of your compositions. You’ve really nailed the eerie horror vibe with this one and can definitely imagine the game as I’m listening! Well done!

This peaked my interest right from the get-go! Super engaging pieces! Love the energy throughout! Wonderful arranging and composing, well done!

Beautiful solo piano! I love how you built up the dynamics in the first track! You’re a fantastic player, well done!

The soundscape you’ve created is perfection! Wonderfully mixed and orchestrated. This was an absolute delight to listen to. Huge fan of the underlying pads used throughout the soundtrack!
