Soundtrack[]
The game's soundtrack was composed by Michael Kelly(aka Garoad), and features three orignal albums: Sounds From The Future (released August 18, 2014), Second Round (released January 19, 2016), and Bonus Tracks Collection (released September 19, 2017).
The albums sound a lot like Future Synth, although the genre is really hard to place. The composer tried to make this soundtrack sound like it came from the future.
The full soundtrack was received a vinyl release in 2018 by Black Screen Records. The individual albums are also available for purchase on iTunes or the composer's Bandcamp, and available online for free on YouTube, SoundCloud, and Spotify.
