Description
A soundtrack for a skateboarding game where you play as a skateboarding mailman, trying to deliver as many letters as possible as stylishly as possible. One day the aliens arrive and only our mailman can stop the apocalypse by delivering them a letter of peace.

Theme:

Tick Tock...

How does it fit the theme?
It's fast music for timed missions. The aliens have a time bomb!

This OST was a blast, I wasn't expecting full on rock with lyrics haha. I would love to play a game with this music. Makes me think of JSRF haha. Great work!

Ayyyyy this is RAD. I grew up skateboarding and playing Tony Hawk so much and love punk music so I was so pleasantly surprised by your entry! The creativity is through the roof here. Great sound on the guitars as well!

Developer

Thank you! This is my first at-home guitar recording, so I am really glad that the sound is okay!

Thanks, Mailman, for delivering this banger. Skatemail's going into my collection.

Skatemail: I love the driving rock guitars and drums. This is a fun song that definitely has some angst to it. 

Mailbox: The energy in the vocals is contagious. I just want to head bang my way through these songs. I love the classic rock scream at the end - nicely done!

Ride, Write: This has a more melodic approach to it and it shows some versatility of the vocalist. Again I want to commend the authenticity of the guitars and drums that sounds like a radio-ready rock song.

Alien Mail: Oh this beginning has me on the edge of my seat! The vocal processing of “Alien Mail” is so funny.

Overall: I had a fun time listening to this soundtrack as it is clear it was fun writing it and producing it. This submission is unlike any others that I’ve heard and I commend you for your creativity and uniqueness. Good job and thank you for sharing!

Developer

Thank you for the analysis!

This is one of the most originals submissions in this Jam! I did not expect this at all... Makes me remember high school for some reason XD. Great stuff! Keep the mail coming!

Funniest soundtrack of the jam, you went crazy from the start and kept that energy all the way through.

Классный панк-рок! И сведено круто! Отличная работа!

Um. I LOVE this??? Had an absolute blast listening to your soundtrack while imagining Our Hero and Saviour, skater mailman, saving the day with alien mail. 10/10 lyrics, too.

I'm reaching the end of my 158 album odyssey (just 3 dozen or so to go), and this covers so many firsts:

* First entry composed entirely of ballads
* First entry with moaning alien chorus
* Most authentic punk entry
* Oops all bangers

"I AM THE MAIL MAN, I LOVE MY MAIL" is going to serenade my dreams. I don't think I can listen to any more entries tonight, you're too tough an act to follow.

Developer

Thanks, the aliens will remember that

HAHA This was so much fun to listen to. Not only the lyrics had me hooked but the song itself had me headbanging. Great stuff!

Big rock fan and this is legit the most memorable for me from this jam. All the lyrics deeply touched me, I liked the parts where he said "mail" or "mailman". The theme is legit super creative and dope. When I saw Tick Tock, the last thing I'd have thought about was A MAILMAN GOTTA DELIVER LETTERS AND FAST. 

I AM THE MAILMAN!

I LOVE MY MAIL!!!

Developer(+1)

LOVE THAT YOU LOVE IT

Wow! Very cool submission! I really like the idea of playing a skateboarding-mailman game while hearing the mailman talking about hoe much he loves his job lol

The production is very good, and riffs and hooks are pretty catchy, and pretty enjoyable.

One gripe i have, is i think the first 3 tracks could've been one 3-4 minute song, because they are about pretty similar things, and are more similar to each other than to Alien mail.

Overall, very creative and just a fun submission. Good job!

This ost is such a gem, I really enjoyed listening to it! The third track is my favorite, it’s surprisingly catchy XD I love that I can hear how much fun you had making this, too. Great work!
