They’re Going Down – Game OST Pack by YannZ

Fast. Loud. Vengeful. This high-energy soundtrack was originally made for the 2025 Pixel Art Game Jam title The Dead Guy That Made More Guys Dead — a brutal, retro-inspired top-down shooter about one very dead guy and a whole lot of other soon-to-be-dead guys.

Designed for games with tight pacing, combat momentum, and mood shifts, this OST pack blends djent metal riffs with atmospheric ambiences and a hint of cinematic dread.

Whether you're making a pixel-splatter arena brawler or just need to rip and tear with groove, this one’s got you.

TRACKLIST – They’re Going Down (click to preview)

🎧 Pixel Damnation (02:19) Loopable Combat Theme – 6-string distorted bass, electric guitar, punchy drums. Comes with a short 0:04 intro tag to help ease the transition from ambient zones.

🎧 Living ScornLiving Scorn (02:26) Modular Exploration Theme – SWAM strings, synthetic drones, wind textures, insects, and slow cymbal swells. Creepy and cinematic. Ambient versions included.

🎧 Revenge’s Waiting (00:48) Boss Fight Loop – A heavy, slow-groove loop in 12/8 with a foreboding edge. Short and loop-ready for mini-boss or climactic encounters.

Loop & Atmosphere Design

Living Scorn

• Orchestration: SWAM strings, Omnisphere pads, LABS & Splice textures

• Feel: Hollow, tense, modular

Implementation Tips

You can use these tracks in a linear or adaptive setup:

• Linear: Intro → Combat → Boss or combat + plot

• Adaptive: Trigger Pixel Damnation from Living Scorn using intro tag

• Use Revenge’s Waiting to break flow and raise stakes mid-combat or during key transitions
