Soloband is an entry for the Brackeys Gamejam, which theme was Stronger Together. We’ve made this game with mates @Drestin and @Roilbauk.

Music was really a drive for us on this game, as we absolutely wanted to work with an adaptive soundtrack. Therefore in Soloband, the music is played with either a guitar, either synth as lead instrument, depending of the one you’ve chosen at the beginning. Moreover, each band member you recruit in the game adds up its instrument to the global soundtrack, gradually revealing the complete form of the game’s music… which gets more and more intense as well as you get closer to the final boss!

All this intense music work was done by Erwann Martin. We also received help from Gwendoline Mathais, who worked on the game’s artwork, and Pierre Terakopiantz, who created and animated the final boss. It was incredibly generous for them to help us, so thanks again, folks!
