“Gorgeous music, wow! I’m definitely using it. As a theme and looped sounds, they work like dream. Thank you so, so, so much for these!”
-runeraccoon
“The fact that your website is free to those who need it to be is absolutely astounding and even more selfless than one might think at first glance, considering you’re pouring clearly professional talent and time into it. My hobby work would be much worse off in a world without yours, and I just hoped you knew that people recognize how much time and skill was spent on your website. So after donating what I could I felt I had to write you to give a more heartfelt thank you.”
-letmehelp2k
“This is very nice work! I’m astonished to see how unique they are from each other, it makes for a great selection. Not only are many of these pieces a great fit for my game, but I can see many of them also inspiring me to make my game fit the music, rather than only finding music that fits my game. No doubt I’ll use some of these, and proper credits will of course be given.”
-JakeCake

“What a gift, thank you for your songs, and the sound effects. I will share this with the children learning how to craft productions.”
-Jamie
“Wow this is an amazing resource! Thank you for providing this. Compared to the several paid “game music packs” I’ve acquired so far your selection seems far superior for in-game usage.
I appreciate the effort to make the tracks more tempered and appropriate for general use. So much available marketplace “game music” sounds like something that I would more associate with a movie or game trailer – the intensity is just way too high for most gameplay.
The text descriptions of each track are also immensely helpful for sorting through them.
I’ll be sure to share this resource around and properly support you if I end up using any of the tracks. Thanks again!”

“I wanted to thank you for the amazing music you created. I’m making a game, a simple space shoot em-up with retro vector-style graphics and sound effects for the Atari VCS. I had tried to find suitable background music but never found what felt right until I found your site. When I first heard a small loop called Circuit Punk Game Menu I knew I wanted that looping on the title screen – and I had to buy the Ogg library and use your music for the entire game. Obviously you will receive full credit for your work.
Many thanks,”
