30 day video game music challenge!

ok SO since i already used the game i was gonna pick RPG battle theme from ive had the thoughts in the back of my head about what i could do, but havent decided on one yet. but as fate would have it, a particular piece of news i saw today that is otherwise pretty unnoteworthy to the majority of people here reminded me of a game from my childhood that i used to play when i visited my friend... and i suddenly had a great idea for what i could do for today's pick. so today we've got the Battle Theme from Medabots for the GBA, which it turns out is actually a remake of a Game Boy Color game, but as it turns out only three Medabots games have ever been localised, back in the gba/gcn era. the entire soundtrack has a lot of nostalgic value to me, but the battle song in particular is pretty iconic to me. it's not very long, but what's there sounds great and brings back memories of robots running back and forth shooting missles and lasers at each other and getting blown up. good times

Day 11: music from a puzzle game

honestly there aren't a lot of puzzle game songs i can think of. most puzzle games i've played don't have any music. i guess snipperclips is a puzzle game and it has music, so.......
the music in this game feels like something that you'd hear in something like an educational show for toddlers, and that's not a bad thing. i think it's fitting for a puzzle game and isn't too intense or boring for a puzzle game. that's about all i have to say
 
This may be an odd choice, but...

Tree is Shift - Baba is You


Please, please, everyone, if you enjoy puzzle games in the slightest, play Baba is You.


Ahem, but, to get to the point, you may notice that this theme is rather... minimalist. It's actually one of the more "active" themes in the game, given that the entire game's soundtrack is rather minimalist. Yet, I think it works exceptionally well. The game as a whole has a minimalist style, graphically, musically, and otherwise. In part, it's because it's an indie game so there was some degree of necessity. It's also, however, arose from the fact that this is a game focused on meta-manipulation, a game focused on changing the rules of the game itself. By stripping away as much as possible, it becomes easier to focus on the rules, on manipulating them. Sometimes, you need something that's sufficient as "thinking music." Simple enough so as not to be over-stimulating and draw your attention away from the puzzle, but interesting enough to stimulate you enough to keep you engaged. It goes along, almost, with the idea of "Optimal Arousal" in psychology. I think the whole soundtrack pulls it off well, but this theme stands out among it.
