Just wanted to create some chiptune for a change. Simple but driving style. Perhaps some Platformer or Shmup could have some use for it.

Also added a LowFi version which sounds really muddy but nobody should notice for this style on mobile devices :D

Hey, man, this is a really cool song. A friend and I are making a Contra inspired game, though the gameplay mechanic is a bit more akin to Space Invaders. We'd really like to use this and the attribution notice of your creation.

A functionable is already finished, but we'll publish the Github page on monday. I'll be sure to link it here then.

This is really cool!  Is there a FLAC version available?  Would be nice to be able to transcode from a losslessly compressed original.

I can of course render it in any format known to me :D, I added a flac version in overkill quality. I wouldn't exactly call it compressed this way but oh well, at least there is no quality loss here.

If there is any need for something else just let me know :)

Thanks for posting this track!

 

We have used it in our first ever Android game here: 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ShotgunPanda.BombedOut

 

And we have made sure to include you in the game's credits :)

Cool ... just tested it and it actually works as diversion :D

I checked the credits and have seen the reference as 'Max Gooroo' which is not completely wrong but for audio matters 'Gundatsch' is preferred (don't put yourself under stress, should you be at it again some time bugfixing or whatever it just would be a bit more correct, but doesn't make me angry or something like that :D)

Second thing i noticed is that the music restarts when the game is reset, which feels kinda ... well ... at first you die quite often and hear like 15 seconds of the track again and again. Would feel more fluid if the tracks just keeps playing.

Well anyways ... good luck getting some money out of it :P ...

Hi

I wanted to use your music in my game (which I will of course credit you for), but am wondering do you have a longer version of this track available, or could you make one, maybe 15 or 20 mins?

If so that would be great!

Thanks

Hi there,

in general this track was made to be loopable. So in most game engines you just need to hit some loop checkbox for this to hopefully loop seemlessly.

I mean obviously i should be able to render gazillions of minutes for the same loop but that would increase the file size to absurd sizes without any real reason :D

No worries, I've stuck it on a loop. Thanks for creating it and I will let you  know when the game is finished.
