SFX for the pre-gameplay cinematic, made in Reaper from foley and modified Soundly assets. I reused some of them, with new music, for the game's trailer.

Game music

Turn Up the Funk (gameplay music)

We started with music driven by player state, then switched to a system that picks one of these sections at random. That keeps the momentum going with little to no repetition over a full run. When the gameplay sequence ends, the boss battle music takes over.
