Pink sweets is even more corny than ESPGaluda!
But it doesn't have the po-faced seriousness that ESPGaluda has. It's almost knuckle draggingly stupid and it doesn't give a shit. It's just great fun, with cheesy melodies and ear numbing bass drums. Of course, this is entirely subjective.

I just wish I enjoyed the game as much as the art and the music :(

The thing with game music is that you can listen to tunes that you wouldn't be caught dead listening to otherwise. Some of my favourite tunes are the stage 1 themes from Thunder Cross, Undead Line and Thunderforce 2. I would never listen to that kind of high-energy synth rock (or whatever it's called) outside of games.
It is powerup of laser.

bwt, when i said "Touhou > Cave" i mean "Touhou (+remixes) > Cave (+remixes)".

There is no way for Cave to beat IOSYS, etc.

For the most part.

Real music > most (recent) and some (old) game music >>> shit you hear on the radio

I actually like the tunes in DDP. There aren't many, but they are pretty good. Especially compared to Thunder Dragon 2.

Now DonPachi's weren't the greatest, but they seemed a bit panicy-epicy.

A seriouspost would be appreciated..
I'm being dead serious. 99.9% of game music is cookie cutter studio pop shit. Worst offender: Manabu Namiki.

Touhou's music always seems a bit forgettable to me.

But as a rule, I've always liked the soundtracks for most of the Cave titles that I've played. I've got a buncha those stuck into my car's CD player, lol.


For me, Cave is my favorite for game music.


....not that I listen to anything that isnt game music.
