Mr. Mine Gameplay Soundtrack

Developer: Austin Oblouk, Playsaurus
Release Date: October 21st 2021
Platforms: PC, Steam, Mobile (Late 2021)

Mr. Mine is an idle, mining game created by Austin Oblouk of Playsaurus. In the game, the player controls a mining operation that includes a drilling machine, mine workers, an oil rig and other assets that contribute to one drilling further toward the Earth’s core. Along the way, one may collect raw materials to enhance equipment, hire mining managers, collect treasures, encounter enemies, and more.

Playsaurus hired me to compose a unique soundtrack for their extensive gameplay. The music needed to be ambient enough to sit in the background, but also continually loop without becoming an ear sore to the listener. After nearly a dozen iterations, I delivered a 5+ minute, pleasing, harmonious and ambient soundtrack. Hopefully it’s one for the ages.

Special thanks to Austin at Playsaurus for providing me the opportunity to work on this game. It was a blast and I cannot wait to work on the next one!

Couplinked

Client: VOX Studios
Release: July 30th, 2014

Couplinked is an exciting new action game from VOX Studios. The game features two nodes that are linked by an electrical beam. Each node is independently controllable and can move anywhere on the screen. As the game begins, rings and red dots appear randomly from the right hand side of the screen and pace to the left.

The goal is to collect the rings while avoiding the red dots. If a red dot collides with one your nodes, if you miss a ring, or a double ring, you lose. How high of a score can you achieve? Try the demo now!

From the Developer: “The exciting new action game where circles meet…circles.”

Couplinked is an unforgiving action-arcade game with a unique control system. Control two different nodes with two different fingers all while trying to collect rings and avoid obstacles. Now, the keyword there is “trying”. Did we mention that it’s difficult? Couplinked is DIFFICULT.

Oh, and the nodes are connected by lightning. But don’t worry! With two gameplay modes, a custom level editor, and over fifty designed campaign levels, your tears of frustration will soon be washed away by the pure joy of knowing that everyone else sucks too. That’s right. You’re not alone, champ. We’re here for you. We’re building a community, thriving off the tears of others. Through the good and the bad, the thick and the thin, rest assured. You’ll probably only be crying for the first day or so. It’ll get better. You know Couplinked will treat you right. Long walks on the beach, two fingers, two nodes. Awwww yeahhhhh.
