Summary
The first Runners game was surprising. It captures a lot of the same type of sound from modern-current games like Unleashed, Lost World, Colors, and others. It has nice piano, guitar, even violins and in total: it was very complex for music from an app. Also, "Theory of Attack" seemed to be some inspiration for TSR...
The sequel I'm not really gonna' count because apparently it mostly just reuses music.
Best Song: Fly Away
Runner-Up (s): Theory of Attack, End of Summer, Power Ride, Fly Away, Where To Day?, Fiery Passion, Ambition,
This is quite beautiful, and the Unleashed vibes are welcome. A nice combo of piano and guitar that would easy fit into a more known game.
I actually prefer Theory of Attack, but that's probably because of TSR.
Worst Song: Strange Parade
Runner Up (s): Go Quickly!
Only one song sounds like it doesn't belong. This high, vibrant, Color's Starlight Carnival-like song was easily the least engaging.
Final Ranking: B
Admittedly I never expected an App's OST to score so high, but Runner's OST doesn't sound like an App; they did not take any short cuts and it deserves more recognition.
