      its the theme that leads up to the battle with the boss during his monolog
      and Like i imagine like a poker gang boss but in the sewer, like he acts like he's all chill cool and stylish but he hasn't showered in over 3 years and his hiding lair is in the nyc sewers and he beats most of his opponents by smelling so awful that they drown in stank

    I can legit imagine a sewer level, or some really shady backalley where you can buy the best stuff but at a cost- prolly the cost of your olfactory sense. xD
    Thanks so much for doing what you do! This is very inspirational!
    Also, I LOVE that outro o.o What's it called? Your stuff is amazing dude

    The second one sounds like the most shady city in a video game. I love it

    Make a sky level/minigame theme?

    That´s pretty cool. And I am amazed how you can come up with song ideas in only ten minutes. Sometimes, I get an idea very quick too, but that´s very very rare. This seems like you just do it spontaneous. I hope I´ll get to this point too at one day.
