Description
My track is based on retro games from the 16bit era.
With the Chiptune genre, I was inspired by the sound of Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and a little bit of arcade too. For the music composition, I used DAW FL Studio. The music conveys a sense of urgency. I imagined a protagonist fleeing in a chase in a futuristic urban setting, even a bit cyberpunk.
I imagine that the game could be of the very frenetic Endless Runner genre.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack evokes a sense of urgency that fits well with the escape situation.
As in a game where the player's main skills would be dexterity, agility and perspicacity. Runaway is a great title for a game, as it is simple and sounds very good.

Dude! This was epic! Sorry I couldn't rate this in time. I was feeling very Turtles in Time or Double Dragon. Brought me back to my younger days. this was so great! Wonderful job!
Hey, man! Don't worry! The most important is that you really like it. For me this is the most valuable thing, believe it. Thank you so much.
What an absolute bop. Love those orch hits, really gives that low sample rate edge that I need in my life.

Epic percussion and very nostalgic! I'm a sucker for these chiptune beats. Epic percussion. Stayed interesting until the end. That alarm in the end, haha. Reminds me of Goldeneye 64. Thanks for sharing!
Groovy and Action-Packed indeed! :)
All right! 😁
Man I haven’t heard orchestra hits in ages, and I’ve never heard them used this heavily so well. Nice work, great Megadrive vibe.
Hey, brow! Thanks a lot!
Awww yeah classic arcade game style. This was tons of fun!
Yeah! Thanks, brow! 😁
I love the hits at 1:08, and... well everything for that matter! Awesome Job!
Thank you, man! I'm really happy that you like it😆
This slaps! I can definitely see this in a hectic endless runner like you described. I like the helicopter sounds at the end, it helps sell that “on the run” feeling.
Exactly, dude! It's that what I'm talking about. 😎
Love this take on the Runaway theme! Gives me fighting game vibes!
Yeah! You've got the spirit, man!
Oh this was amazing! Lots of variety and a really strong forward momentum. Love the leads. Love how it just keeps going relentlessly. It leaves me wanting more! Especially with that alarm sound at the end, I felt like I was on a rollercoaster getting ready for a second drop! I was hoping so much to go on one more ride!
Stellar work man.
Also orch hits! +1 :D :D :D
shhh...this is our secret, ok? 😂😂😂😂 I love to use orch hits! They always make me feel in the arcade playing a frenetic game! Take this tip. 😁
Oh, thank you so much, partner! It's in the plan to produce more moments for this track... More energy is always good! 😂 Thanks again for your feedback. I'm really glad you like it!
Really sick track - I'm loving the sound design. Really true to the style, and always interesting!
This is a great track! Right off the bat, you are using a wonderful variety of instruments and effects, with a tight mix that really gives it a retro arcade feel. The track is constantly evolving, never situating on a single theme for too long. Very catchy too, you did an awesome job! I wish there was more!
I am very happy that you liked it! It took a little work to make, but it is very nice when I receive a comment as gratifying as this one. Thanks, my friend! God bless you immensely.
Love the orchestra hits as well! It's so cool to see a submission own this style so well. It's super evocative of the theme!
Oh! Thanks! You are so gentle. I'm really glad that you like it.
I love Orch hits 😁 It gives the energy that we need to make the track to be frenetic.
So good! I love a good orchestra hit used properly, the music is really catchy and would fit great in a fast paced game. I wish you composed more tracks!
Thank you! 😁 It's good to see a lovely comment like this one! I really appreciate your opinion. I love Orch Hits! I was inspired by the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (SNES), you know? 😎
Beautiful !! I feel like in a BeatThemUp ! Congrats !
Thanks, mate! 😁
nice tight production, cool intro!
Yeah! I love this kind of intro! God bless you and congratulations for your tracks too! I was checking them on Soundcloud. You have so much style, believe me... 😁
I really like all the sounds/instruments you used in this track, gave me a really nice and fast paced feeling. The melodies were really nice too.
Yeah! That's the spirit, man! I'm glad that I'm reached exactly this feeling. 😁
That's the energy that I was planning for this track...
