The core of his approach revolves around bringing more to the table than “what the game looks like it should sound like.” Kallio is particularly adept at imbuing great games with life beyond the screen, expanding the virtual worlds in the process. Like an unavoidable commercial jingle, it can slip into a player’s subconscious or jackhammer them into submission. It has a lot of these ‘soft-sounding’ synths, which I think is what makes it sound like Fall Guys.”īecause a player’s focus is usually so tightly tethered to the action on their screen-and because it’s not uncommon for players to hear a song repeated hundreds of times-video game music is a powerful medium. “We definitely wanted it to be very high-energy, very positive-sounding. “I have no clue what the genre or style of this music is, even,” Kallio admits. Four new tracks, which play on the loosely medieval themes of the game’s “second season” update, were added to the collection on October 8th. “Survive The Fall” sounds like something Thundercat might cook up for a children’s album, while the victory song “Didn’t Fall! (You Win)” sounds like the fever-dream version of a Mario Kart theme.
Kallio and Hagström’s go-to instrumentation choices include frequent slap bass and jungle-esque breakbeats, but bulbous synths take the edge off. It sounds like happy hardcore mingled with smooth funk, J-Pop, ’80s cartoon soundtracks and video game music from Sega’s Dreamcast era.
While some of the earliest sonic experiments for Fall Guys’ music were mutated and modernized-’70s vibes are scant, though it’s not hard to imagine the epic melody behind the game’s main theme, “Everybody Falls,” anchoring vintage episodes of Wide World of Sports-the end product is a psychedelic, bizarre, and hypnotic sonic gumbo. “We were pretty sure we had the right composers for the job.” “They started sending us weird audio samples of kids’ toys and instruments,” says Joe Walsh, Lead Game Designer with MediaTonic.
