@@magicalmidgethorse4730 Both this ost and deltarune only sometimes uses the melody as a leitmotif (as in when just the first six notes appear) Other times they play a lot of (if not the entire) tune. This makes it too long of a reference to consider it a leitmotif. It’s called “leit” for a reason. Although there isn’t really a better name for it besides “theme”

"The Tower" being the Path of Pain O.O

For such a small scale project Tower of Heaven is so powerful and impactful, beautiful little game. I'm in love with this soundtrack.

4:29 gave me chills listening to this. it brought me back when i use to play newgrounds and i just finished highschool. Staying home playing videogames all day

I remember quitting the game back when it came out because of two reasons. 1. I was a stupid 10-13 year old (somewhere around there). 2. "No going left" (or whatever it was) pissed me off. After seeing the ToH stage on Rivals of Aether, I was like "Wait, I just thought that it was your run of the mill good flash game" (like Coma). Then I saw the "We getting rid of flash" notifications near the end of last year and decided to go back to it. Playing through it invoked an emotion I've not felt for a video game in a damn, that sense of childish awe and wonder. I was so fucking angry at myself for thinking it was just another flash game. I remember getting a chill down my spine at the last "cinematic". I loved every second of it, even the parts that pissed me off a little. I love how there is that sense of emotional weight in the music and some tracks have the same vibe I got when listened to the ambient tacks in Undertale. If people have not played this game, please do.

The films they make have a distinct feel to them, they're very stylistic and well animated, debated to having very human-like characters, which reflect real people in reality. This game fits the stylistic settings the films have denoting a very simple, yet childlike vibe to them.
