Music is a very important part of the development process for us at Infinite State games. We always start our games at Infinite State Games by writing the theme tune.
It sounds like a curious place to start, but after we’ve thrown ideas around so that we have a nebulous concept of the game we want to make, we next go off and write the title screen music.

Pop on your headphones or enjoy from any speaker to achieve a sense of mischief and merriment inspired by the music from Frutorious
