Virballs releases! Go clean up the galaxy!
Virballs, the new game developed and published by Bolder Games and Chimera Studios took launch on March 18th. I grew up playing many-a-platformer game on my PS2. Think Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Jax and Dexter to name just a few. I love that genre and style of gameplay. Virballs is very much an homage to these classic games and I couldn’t wait to get started on the music. As the Virballs Steam page states:
Six outlandish planets are overrun with Virballs – viral elemental creatures that consume each other to create exotic hybrids. Clean up this ecological disaster using Virball hybrids as devastating weapons!
The game is fun, quirky and fast pace! Go play it!
Stream and buy the OST
You can stream and purchase the soundtrack at multiple storefronts, including Spotify, Apple Music and at Bandcamp.
Don’t see the store you use? Don’t worry! More storefronts will be added continually, overall time and you can see all of your options here. You can learn more about the game, read reviews and purchase it on their Steam page.
Staying Busy
Other than that, I’m working on several games right now with various studios. Everything’s under NDA still so I can’t say much more right now. More details will come at a later time! Short and sweet update but go check out Virballs!
