Yeah! Initially we thought about designing weird alien looking robot insect things with all sorts of crazy stuff in their design to justify the sounds you hear - but ended up with the simple solution for lack of time.
Aaand I went overboard with the music when it could've easily been a simple 8 or 16-bit style tune. I'd like to keep exploring this idea as my limited experience with these projects evolve.
Thanks for the insight! <3
