Turnip

By Leo on March 1, 2026 8:52 pm

Unhinged by design. This is a boss theme I've been working on on and off for probably a year now, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It's made for a fight with a giant turnip that is spontaneously brought to life - understandably, it starts panicking and attacking the player.
The goal was to capture a feeling of silly and frantic chaos in a tune that is also somewhat catchy. I'm glad I finally pulled through.

Suddenly becoming sentient after living your whole life buried in the ground does indeed sound like a nightmare. I think I'd immediately start attacking things around me too. Hahahaha... Super fun, man! Really loved how truly unhinged this was!

YES. Even without reading your description I was already super hyped and ready to fight the big turnip man!
Nice one, love the faked orch hits and constantly panning bass arp.

That's exactly what I need, while I'm fighting a giant turnip. Love everything about it. It's also very very catchy.
I guess you defeated your end boss big_smile

Oh, those are 100% organic CMI style orchestra hits. Just layered them a little to fit the aesthetic of the rest of the soundtrack.

Isn't that what you think after every boss? wink
But thanks, I'm suuuper glad you and the dev dig it. I can finally move on.

Brilliant! Be sure to drop us a reminder when we can fight the giant turnip and hear this in context!

Pretty slick, though if there's a version that isn't as unhinged, I'd love it.

Will do! There's already a steam page for it, it's called Soulside.

If the dev ever asks for that, I'll have to put in some time into figuring out what that would even sound like. The lack of hinge is the DNA pretty much.

I'd say the chorus on the lead is the biggest thing
