Within the same day, I had one friend demand I play “this crazy-hard Flash platformer,” and another friend tell me I had to pick up this “crazy-awesome soundtrack.” Both friends were referring to Tower of Heaven.
The game itself is indeed quite challenging. I recommend you play it (at Newgrounds or Kongregate). It fully fits the “Game Boy” feel, all the way down to the color palette (green-ish and black) and the chiptune-centric soundtrack.
The whole soundtrack runs at under 20 minutes and is available for a mere one US Dollar on bandcamp. The OSV staff thought it was über enough to win an award for Indie Game OST in our recent OSVOSTOTY 2010 post. We acknowledge the album’s brevity, which is why it’s getting SotM for the shortest month of the year, February.
After the jump, a detailed report of this addictive little soundtrack, and what makes it so addictive, awaits. (more…)
