Copenhagen — June 20, 2017 — Fans of 140, the mentally stimulating, minimalistic platformer from Carlsen Games and published by Double Fine Presents, are able to enjoy a completely new and expansive level, for free on PC/Mac/Linux, Steam, Humble Bundle and GOG. Furthermore, the award-winning soundtrack by composer Jakob Schmid is now available to purchase via Steam for $4.99, with a slick vinyl edition available for pre-order via iam8bit for $28 (limited picture disc edition of 140). To celebrate the soundtrack launch and new content, 140 is only $1.70 (66% off the retail price) for the next few weeks on Steam, Humble Bundle and GOG. Additionally, the lesser known follow-up to 140, the intense twin-stick shooter THOTH is 75% off during the same period.
Winner of the 2013 Independent Games Festival (IGF) award for Excellence in Audio, 140 is a challenging minimalistic platformer with abstract, colorful graphics. In the game, rhythmic awareness is required to overcome obstacles controlled by an energetic, yet melancholic electronic soundtrack. After selling more than 40,000 units of 140 for PC/Mac/Linux alone, Carlsen Games decided to revisit the game and add an exciting set of new challenges to play through, and Jakob Schmid used this as an opportunity to finish the much anticipated soundtrack.
