GAMEPLAY VIDEO

SOUNDTRACK

The shown video is a speedrun, but it will still adequately show the gameplay loop.

I composed 2 soundtracks for this game.

Attached is the boss theme.

DEVELOPMENT ROLES

Elemental System

I suggested a system where elements are mixed for different effects, and we took it from there to come up with the system to make emergent effects from different combinations.

Music

Composed 2 tracks for this game: Aurum Transmutation and Risk of Train. Both tracks are very electronic and has a total duration of around 5 minutes.

Dynamic SFX

There are unique sound effects depending on the elemental mix of the bullet. Various spatial tricks are also used to make sounds like the train to feel real, approaching and moving quickly past.
