Official Description:
"The theme this year was the sound of a heartbeat. It just so happens that Jack likes to do 2 things: chop down trees, and liberate hearts from the tyranny of elven chest cavities. You must protect your manliness to win. Left or RIght arrow keys: Move Left or Right Mouse Button: Beat Hearts"

And that pretty much sums up this game. This track is actually made up of two tracks that I combined to create a smooth transition from one to the next. The serene orchestral instruments you hear at the beginning compliment the pastoral opening screen. At the abrupt and dark transition in the music, we are introduced to Jack as he punches through a forest elf and continues his rampage throughout the game. Since this game is all about over-the-top comic violence, I had fun throwing together layer after layer of heavy metal samples and contrasting them with the opening tranquility of the track.
