“...the soundtrack matches the artstyle perfectly. Whether it be a playful piano ditty while you pilot a mech suit that shoots cats or an emotional strings piece while you’re exploring a brand-new area, there’s a childlike sense of optimistic wonderment that’s being reinforced throughout the game. The soundtrack does a great job of setting up the right atmosphere when it needs to, further immersing you in this strange, fantasy world.”

“The music is very nice, and oozes quality. Just listening to the orchestrated soundtrack makes you think of nature with hints of Secret of Mana.”

“The soundtrack can be as incredible as the graphics, as well as the songs that fit perfectly with the environment, they have an inexplicable nostalgic factor. Some tracks reminded me a lot of the songs of Mega Man Legends, the 3D Adventure of Mega Man released for the first PlayStation, which is great, since the franchise has always been and always will be reference in quality soundtracks.”

“Riley Koenig is an immensely gifted composer and a truly giving and gifted creative partner... What we created together with "Invincible Sun" was one of the most unique and beautiful artistic products of my life to date, and a sizable percentage goes to Riley Koenig and to his cohorts at Power Up Audio. I think that this man could bring the same level of skill and musicianship to any project that requires a music score, and that Power Up Audio are a great team.” - Arinn Dembo, Kerberos Productions
