I know very little about the chiptune process and don’t own an album from one chiptune artist (that’s why we have Joshua, our chiptune specialist). But, is that enough? Click the jump and brace yourselves as I unleash my classical sensibilities on this chiptune soundtrack!Īdmittedly, this is my first formal chiptune experience here at OSV.

Our friends over at Destructoid fawned over the game (and so did I), but what of its retro soundtrack? To kick off the new year, Terry Cavanagh, creator of titles like Don’t Look Back, Pathways, and XOLDIERS, has presented us with a side-scrolling, mind-bendingly difficult, retro platformer entitled VVVVVV. It seems that every few months a new independent game appears seemingly out of nowhere and melts our faces.
