Crazy how one of the best video game soundtracks of all time is hidden away in an obscure freeware Metroidvania from 2006.
I first played this when I was about 10, before I even had an internet connection. Found it on a weird CD with a bunch of random games (used to be quite common in Slovakia) and I've been returning to it basically every year.
An absolute masterclass in ambience, sound design and just general vibes. It's like the entire game was injected with a comically large syringe labeled "Childlike Wonder".
Every time I hear the Hub level music, I feel like that GIF of Anton Ego taking a bite of Ratatouille. Shit's magical. Makes me have an existential crisis over a bouncing ball.
