Song-related Level Suggestions

[bakedpotato]

“Wow, Potato, what do you need help with today???”

How rude, assuming I need help…

But I do ;-;

I’ve started planning out a music-themed platformer, where each level is themed to a certain song. I was about 5 minutes into the planning when I realized I can’t just use my song tastes or this thing’ll crash and burn

So, I need song suggestions, complete with what will be in the level–
Y’know, I’ll just make a format.

Sorry it’s so long lol
At least the Description section is (kinda) optional
You’re basically telling me what’s in the entire level, 'cause chances are I’m not listening to most of the songs you suggest

(NO KPDH SONGS PLEASE, THERE ARE LIKE 5,000 KPDH PARKOURS ON DISCOVERY ALREADY)

I know the Vocaloid fans are gonna have a field day with this one

You can make multiple suggestions, but I may not add them all.
If your idea is accepted and made into a level, you will be credited :]

PLEASE vary the songs by genre, artist, etc., I can’t have the entire game be, I don’t know, all Taylor Swift songs or smth

---

(The “accepted ideas” section was taken out, the accepted ideas are still accepted and more will be soon I swear it’s just easier to not update this every 2 hours)

(I might be off the site for a long amount of time, just don’t close this because of flags or something while I’m gone)

Song: 505 (by Arctic Monkeys :3 )

Color scheme: Blue-ish?..

Overall level theme: Sadness

Lyrics:
“BUT I CRUMBLE COMPLETELY WHEN YOU CRY.”

“Stop and wait a sec, when you look at me like that my darling, what did you expect?”

“I’M GOING BACK TO 505 IF ITS A 7 HOUR DRIVE OR A 45 MINUTE DRIVE”

“It seems like once again, you’ve had to greet me with goodbye”

“Probably still adore you with your arms around my neck. Or at least last time I checked.”

Pace: regular

Jumps: Uhmm… When the lyrics say “I crumble completely when you cry”, you get a boost.

---

The description is uhm… I can’t think of it sooo :>

oh and the genre is indie rock :P

(Don’t question my music taste <:)

---

Here’s another one :P

Song: Just a dream (by Nelly)

Color scheme: Purple (again lolz)

Level theme: In a dream

Lyrics:
“I was at the top, but now it’s like i’m in the basement”

"I was thinkin’ about her, thinkin’ about me. Thinkin’ about us, what we gonna be.

“Open my eyes, and IT WAS ONLY JUST A DREAM”

“Traveled back, down that road. Will she come back? No one knows”

“But now you’re gone baby, I can’t think. Should’ve put it down, should’ve got that ring”

Jumps: When it says “Now it’s like I’m in the basement” drop down to a low level. Like a BIG drop. (@NagiSeishiro ima yoink this idea :3 hope its oka)

When the lyrics “It was only just a dream” come up, teleport a player in like a cloud themed level.

Pace: Fast (ish)

@CC26 Omg I love Good Kid

Song Title: Happy (By Pharrell Williams)

Color Scheme: Yellow, black, white

Overal Level Theme: Bright, happy (lol), joyful, a lot of high jumps

5-6 Centeral Song Lyrics:

• Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
  (Because I’m happy)

• Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
  (Because I’m happy)

• Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
  (Because I’m happy)

• Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do (hey, c’mon, uh)

• bring me down, can’t nothin’
  (Happy) bring me down, my level’s too high
  (Happy) to bring me down, can’t nothin’ (huh)
  (Happy) bring me down, I said (let me tell you now), uh

Jumps: Put a “” emoji whenever the lyrics say clap, and give the player a short speed boost. Make the jumps high.

When the song says “bring me down, my levels too high”, make a low jump into darkness, then a high jump back into the light.

Fast-Paced, Regular, or Slower?: Fast or regular.

More Description: N/A

[Sunkyu]

Hey, try the Peer Gynt suite by Edvard Grieg!
Color: depending on what movement you’re playing, but I would recommend the morgenstrumming for a sunshiny tone
Overall Level Theme: Again, depends on what movement you chose
Jumps: a lot of easy parkour, then it becomes REALLY HARD WITH SLOPE JUMPSS
Pace: regular
Look it up on YouTube for more detail
But if you can’t listen to it, maybe go for something more famous like Fur Elise by Beethoven or something with a dropper

@Jhan

I think the only music I listen to is classical

Same Here

[yaypie]

Patches of Violet (heheheheheheehhhehhhhheeheheheheheh fav song yum)
Artist: Mili
Color scheme: Purple and black
Level theme: You could either do, well, patches of violet, or you could make it like a ship like how they did in the song (I think?)
“I could be the reason why”
“You have given up your smiles”
“And the hope inside your eyes”
“Have been stolen”.
“The message.”
“Has already been sent.”
“Through patches.
Of violet.”
Jumps: Maybe like small jumps, then progressively getting longer.
Slower, since the song is just about things that rip them apart in the inside
description:

fav song :>

Compass
Artist: Mili
Color scheme:
White with gray, and tan.
Level theme: a broken ship in the sea at night.
“My compass is curiosity”
“My compass is curiosity”
“I’m piercing through the rope that strangled”
“You”
“And me”
“Let us be free…”
Jumps: probably regular.
Fast paced. The song changes VERY fast.

Well this isn’t a level idea but a suggestion… depending on what type of instruments the song uses, you could add them as obstacles!
I made an electronic piano; you could make many instruments and even add neon lights (flashing lights) depending on the song.

(Yes I know the buttons aren’t straight.)

---

Also can we suggest music without lyrics?

[Cellofive]

Long Live, Taylor Swift
Color scheme is purples and purply pinks.
Level theme is flowers and sparkles, and (maybe) castles kinda.

Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, “Long live all the magic we made”
And bring on all the pretenders, I’m not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, “Long live that look on your face”
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

Slow to fast paced jumps, varies within the level.

The weather forecast’s calling for another cloudy day”

Regular pace

Well I’m going to suggest Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
Its a sonata so it has no lyrics, this level would have a blueish dark background with a moon. You could add pianos as steps to keep climbing and add notes that appear randomly appear and make you take damage (or it could be the opposite, they help you). Depending on what movement you want it could vary from slow to fast paced. Personally, I like the 3rd movement, if this is added as an area it should be fast paced.
(I think the only music I listen to is classical , sometimes electronic.)

“It’s coming to a close”

5-6 Centeral Song Lyrics

I confused about this, What do you mean by “Centeral Lyrics”?

[CC26]

Lyrics that represent the song, I think.

[ars3nic]

Oh my gorb I love this song so much

Song Title: Important (by Ian McConnell)

Color Scheme: Blue, green, black, and yellow

Overall Level Theme: Peppy, with a touch of space/the universe

5-6 Central Song Lyrics:
I’m pretty sure that life doesn’t have a meaning
And if there’s a god then he doesn’t look like me
And I’m just a member of the current apex species
But there will be another when the humans go extinct
We’ve only been around two hundred thousand years
Of thirteen and a half billion years
How can we think the pinnacle is here?
Isn’t that arrogant?
There’s a couple hundred billion trillion suns
And we act like it all was made for us
There ain’t no way that we’re the only ones

Jumps: Varied, long and short, basically an easier level. Maybe at the end you slide down like on DLD snowy peaks.

Fast-Paced, Regular, or Slower?: Fast-paced

@bakedpotato

I was about 5 minutes into the planning when I realized I can’t just use my song tastes or this thing’ll crash and burn

real

[Silly_alien]

Song: Livin’ on the edge (Aerosmith)

Color scheme: Green :]

Level theme: Corrupted world…

Lyrics:

“There’s something wrong with the world today”

“The light bulb’s getting dim”

“There’s meltdown in the sky”

“You can’t help yourself from falling”

“Livin’ on the edge”

“If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling ,even if it wasn’t, would you still come crawling?”

Jumps: Hard-ish jumps so when you land on a barrier or prop or idk whatever you put, you’re y’know, livin’ on the edge

When it says “you can’t help yourself from falling” Have yet ANOTHER drop and slowly build your way up.

Oh, and also, when “If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling ,even if it wasn’t, would you still come crawling?” comes up, go a bit faster.

Pace: Beginning is normal, but then it gets faster.
