I hope the trailer isn't representative of the in-game music.

The thing that really defined SkyRoads (to me) was the music. Aside from being uniformly excellent, it never paused during the player's many deaths. Essentially conveying the point that death and perseverance were part of the game.

Anyway, game looks neat otherwise.

The trailer on the gog page for the game? Oh no, the music doesn't sound anything like that ingame. Not sure how to describe the music actually - very moody and weird...
The trailer's completely different. Although prepare yourself to be disappointed anyway :D.

I really do feel like the in-game music and SFX are a bit underwhelming. I love a good soundtrack in my games, and this one is... well, it fits, but it's not exactly memorable. The SFX on the other hand are a bit offsetting with the 'plinks' against an otherwise harmonic-feel.

Really wish I could replace them somehow, because otherwise the game would be perfect in my eyes.
I have this game in Humble Library (because GOG dont provide Linux version, but Humble does) and i can say - forget music in RTS. Its nothing interesting. Ok to play along with game, but not worth to hear alone.
GOG buyers, register the game on the official site with your serial number and you can download the Linux version if you need it.

Actually, the trailer music is in the game but usually doesn't start playing until region 4/5 as long as the sun is sufficiently high enough. ;) It definitely fits there as the game does become quite hectic then.

I noticed. That's when I usually manage to atomize the ship :P
They have launched the game soundtrack to sale and, despite the opinons here, I liked it. Is there any chance to GOG getting the full soundtrack here?
