In general, music isn’t the most important consideration for mobile games (except perhaps indie projects or rhythm games, where music is one of the main gameplay elements). However, at Pixonic, we take a different approach. We try to create game music which could easily stand alone as a piece of art — this is the only way it can keep player interest beyond the game.
