Thanks guys, couldn't have done it without your great amazing composition! :)

Okay, you know VERY well you've done good when the original creators of the song and the game it's from stop by to praise you. Congratulations, Jonny!

Hell yeah HyperDucks! I interviewed the dev for Racketboy when Iji came out. Still would happily pay $20 for an Iji remastered album download! I know that was in the cards for a while there, but it never happened. This music deserves proper stereo sound at least.

Anime crossover lol

This is definitely one of the best arrangements on the channel, thanks to the original notes as well as from the superbly substantive sound upgrade! Be proud!

Damn. Getting the attention and praise by the game and music creator. That was a good remix ^^

Oh hey you're here so I can actually comment this directly in a reply to you! This game is,. to me, a masterpiece of game design. Every single thing you can possibly do to potentially break the game seems to be thought of and is an easter egg. Any area you think you can sneakily get to that you aren't supposed to be has a reward of some sort for reaching it. There's even a boss where you can, through an incredibly convoluted process, fight him three times without getting a game over, and he gets more and more frustrated each time. An easter egg you added because someone found it and told you about it, no less! I'm just constantly blown away by the attention to detail and the continual honing you put into this game. But all of that would be largely forgettable, a well done but ultimately not too memorable side scrolling platformer, if it weren't for the story and characters. Even the characters you never meet all have their own voice and their own stories, unfolding as you play through the logs you discover. That's what absolutely makes Iji a masterpiece to me. Even the joke characters are written with enough personality that they all feel like different people. The writing and story underlying the game are what keeps me going back to play it over and over, to experience that story again and again, and that amazing writing is only boosted further by the fantastic score. The final showdown on the rooftops is the single most memorable final boss encounter I've ever experienced. It's not the hardest, it's not the longest, but it is the one that sticks with me the most. I only found out about this game at the beginning of the year, and I'm thrilled that I got to experience it. Thank you for giving us the option to save the Tasen survivors. I know it's an ultimately futile gesture, but there's a soft spot in my heart for background characters who would normally be thrown away the instant their role in a story is complete, and an inevitable love for writers who treat those characters with respect. Rock on.

​@@slavkei Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked the game!

OH MY GOSH THE MAN HIMSELF! Making Undertale-style gameplay before it was even popular!

@@piers1796 I was just thinking that, although his genocide route doesn't go as far 😅

Oh, and don't forget that he learns during the fight and every time an attack hits you, he's more likely to use it on you.

@@slavkei That's super interesting! Never knew that.

It is. It so is. Gonna go play through it again BRB!

DrOdd sector 3 stands out in need although the boss theme too. hero though already has machinae supremacys actual version

_WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL!_

I loved "3 cans later"

The general approves

I don't remember a god damned thing about this game other than this song. I even played it recently and it still feels like a new game to me.

Belatedly, would you say it was breath-taking?

Hope you unlocked true ending.

That's deep

So basically space Kefka? Cool

Not quite. The motivations of the antagonists in _Iji_ are a lot more complex than Kefka from _Final Fantasy VI._ Feel free to check out the game for yourself. It's free, so the only thing that you have to spend is time.

TFW you don’t get a missle pony from your favorite assassin/train

I disagree in the more complex part though on the surface he is simple, but motivation wise entirely different.

I straight downloaded it off his site and swapped it in, replacing the actual battle theme in game. IT SO GOOD.

I think this song uses three time signatures. 7/4, 5/4 and 3/4

@@TheOriginalAspie Oh heck, it keeps switching? Like Marx? That's crazy, even CRAZIER to work with. Two years old, but still, MUCH respect.

i know that feeling, lol

CS1 tors theme is the most underrated final boss theme of all time, period

God yes.

The one from the second game is the best one Change my mind

Oh Sonny? All i remember from it as a kid is that i played the first game, then chapter 3 rekt me so hard.

I fkcing love Metal Slug 5's OST

*YES!!!! PLEASE!!!!!* *EVERYONE!!! GIVE HIM MORE LIKES SO THAT JONNY ATMA SEES THIS!!!!!*

What about the high quality download on the website of Iji, right after the game download link ?

nah, sadly even they kinda suck quality-wise, we didn't know what we were doing when it came to mixing and.. stuff back then, sadface

HyperDuck SoundWorks i kinda like the rough sound of OST.

@@HyperDuck Hey at least, y'all made something good, even for this game, and the next tracks will be even better now since you know better lmao

@@HyperDuck I did not even realize who did the music. Mind = blown

:D

I found out about Iji because of Tor's head being an easter egg in the last level of Risk of Rain. I wanted to know more and downloaded the game. I kept failing at sector 6, I have to go back and try again. Innocent or bust!

Update: Finally did it. Beat the game as Innocent. Tears were shed. 10/10. Never once felt frustrated or cheated, just felt like I needed to get better or actually pay attention and learn layouts. Goddamn that game is a masterpiece of game design. Every single thing you can possibly do to potentially break the game is thought of and is an easter egg. Any area you think you can sneakily get to that you aren't supposed to be has a reward of some sort for reaching it. There's even a boss where you can, through an incredibly convoluted process, fight him three times without getting a game over, and he gets more and more frustrated each time. But all of that would be largely forgettable, a well done but unimpressive side scrolling platformer, if it weren't for the story and characters. Even the characters you never meet all have their own voice and their own stories, unfolding as you play through the logs you discover. Fuck, I hope he writes another game's story with the depth and character he put into Iji.

The will to save what you once knew and loved despite it’s near nonexistence can motivate someone a lot, Like wanting geno for smash :’(

Vs playing Tennis with the boss.

@@centurosproductions8827 It seems to be a theme in shockingly good indie titles. Iji, ZeroRanger, I need to play more good indie games so I can have more examples for this list...

*One reflecty gal

I mean, the nanofield kind of is invisible armor. More than kind of, it literally is an invisible cloud of adaptive armor...

Honestly, I feel like Iji is more of a realistically portrayed character with depth of feeling, whereas Samus was always just this badass space fighter chick. Iji will always be better in my heart. This coming from a huge metroid fan.

@@HTMangaka Iji is some random teen who was visiting work with her dad, everything went white, and she wakes up to basically everyone she's ever known except for her brother long dead, and herself turned from a regular girl into a combat cyborg. It's a miracle she got up again after realizing the truth and collapsing from the weight of it. Samus is a trained soldier and bounty hunter, with years and years of combat experience. The two really aren't comparable as protagonists, Samus is a professional doing her job well, Iji is some kid living in a nightmare and having to fight her way through it. Both tell good stories, but they are very different stories. About the only thing they share in common is that they're both women.

When you put it like that, I think my earlier post was a little off. Iji is WAY better a character than I stated. Honestly, to have a random regular person kick that much butt. She's a combat PRODIGY!

@@HTMangaka I dunno what you mean, my Iji never killed anyone and mostly blew herself up! :D

Yeah why was it private?

Jonny will probably make a comment why, because i don't know either tbh

Because KZfaq sometimes does a weird thing where when you upload something it sometimes just makes the video private for a little while for no discernable reason.

If in doubt, blame KZfaq.

you should sub to him bro

www.jonnyatma.com/tor/ Download is under the video, Pilgrim

Random Guy I second this.

Well, under the trailer of the game - a lot of positive feedback! Yes, and 300+ K views :)
