Music Power Up Wins IndieCade 2024 Audio Design Award

Indie developer Microstudio has won the IndieCade 2024 Audio Design Award for its in-development title where you play as a musician creating soundtracks for videogames, Music Power Up. The IndieCade jury declared that they were "blown away by the breadth of gameplay experiences focused on the performance and playfulness of music", praising the game for its meticulously crafted soundtrack and sound effects, innovative minigames and variety of mechanics.

In Music Power Up, you will start your career as a musician in the 80s. Meet other musicians, game programmers and editors, share their excitement in the early days of microcomputing. You'll be hired to make the music and sound effects for 10 video game titles, with a complete music studio with 4 to 8 tracks, a versatile drum box and a featured-packed synthesizer at your fingertips. You can shape your sounds and create your melodies from scratch, or you can use pre-composed patterns, assemble your tracks and go into the details later. You can create your song in sequencer mode or in real time through the performance mode. Each one of the 10 games is playable and once you have completed your job, you can play them as often as you wish. Plus, they've got the best music ... since you made it!
