I uploaded Squ’s soundtrack for fun on my SoundCloud account! You can play and rate the actual game on this page.

The music was largely influenced by Mario games – I actually listened to recent Mario Party soundtracks in particular to get an idea on how to get the sound I want. I’m not used at all to make this kind of joyful music so it was a pretty new experience.

Here’s the complete list of what I used to make the music & sounds of the game:

Software

• Propellerhead Reason 8 (DAW, see screenshot below)
• Audacity (conversion and mastering)

Hardware

• M-Audio Keyrig 49 (MIDI keyboard)
• Shure SM58 (voice mic)
• Focusrite Scarlett Solo (sound card/audio input)
• Audio Technica ATH-M50 (headphones)
• Those $20-something speakers I’ve got since high school
