It was composed by Stephen Maxwell, who made the game under the Cloud Cover Games label. Due to a lack of a proper soundtrack release, the album is hosted on YouTube and Archive.org. Additionally, the author was only able to recover four tracks, so [[Forgery]] and [[Beat the Game]] are recorded from the game itself (yes, I probably had to be the first person in a decade to beat all the levels and unlock all the secrets). --- Track: Beagle Aegis Duration: '0:58' URLs: - https://youtu.be/oqU_mxL6aK8 Art Tags: - Skaia Commentary: |- Stephen Maxwell: (in-game credits) The MENU TUNE called "BEAGLE AEGIS" was also generally inspired by all the great work crafted by the MSPA MUSIC TEAM and WHAT PUMPKIN.

This one is a little messy, but it has its moments.) Makin: (wiki editor) This track plays during the IMPOCALYPSE game mode, which is a survival mode where you fight off waves of enemies. --- Track: Stairs of Skaia Duration: '2:48' URLs: - https://youtu.be/bbOCHfIJrwU Art Tags: - John - Underlings - Skaia Referenced Tracks: - Skies of Skaia - Upward Movement (Dave Owns) Commentary: |- Stephen Maxwell: (in-game credits) [[track:skies-of-skaia|"SKIES OF SKAIA"]] by [[artist:mark-j-hadley|MARK HADLEY]] and [[track:upward-movement-dave-owns|"UPWARD MOVEMENT"]] by [[artist:kalibration|KALIBRATION]] were unsubtly crammed together to create "STAIRS TO SKAIA".

This version, used in the game, is kind of a cross between the two I already posted in this thread, with a few other minor changes.) Makin: (wiki editor) This track plays during the main game mode STAIRS TO SKAIA, where you ascend/build past all the gates and fight imps to reach Skaia. --- Track: Explode (Candy) Duration: '1:57' URLs: - https://youtu.be/szmqTLwW_nY Art Tags: - John - Skaia Referenced Tracks: - Explore Commentary: |- Stephen Maxwell: (in-game credits) [[track:explore|"EXPLORE"]] by [[artist:buzinkai|BUZINKAI]] was disrespected by the amateur duplication called "EXPLODE".

Makin: (wiki editor) This track plays during the "SECRET THING" special mode, which is a series of platformer levels where you chase Trickster John Egbert. --- Track: Beat the Game Duration: '0:52' URLs: - https://youtu.be/2Xyp9GZ47-0 Referenced Tracks: - Beatdown (Strider Style) - Showtime (Original Mix) Commentary: |- Stephen Maxwell: (in-game credits) [[track:beatdown-strider-style|"BEATDOWN"]] by [[artist:curt-blakeslee|CURT BLAKESLEE]] and [[track:showtime-original-mix|"SHOWTIME"]] by [[artist:malcolm-brown|MALCOLM BROWN]] see hasty remixes in the track "BEAT THE GAME". Makin: (wiki editor) As the track title implies, this plays when you beat any of the game's modes.
