The Geometry Arena 2 Original Soundtrack is now available!

Hello everyone! The original soundtrack Geometry Arena 2 is now available for free download.

Enjoy listening!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2805050/Geometry_Arena_2_OST/

These music tracks are created by Wolfnight.

Original soundtracks are usually only provided as full versions which have clear endings. However, since players may want to listen to a specific track repeatedly, a loopable version used in game is also included for your choice.

Please be aware that when playing the loopable version, certain music players, like Steam's built-in player, may cause a slight pause at the end, disrupting the seamless loop. We recommend using Windows Media Player or other music players for a smoother experience.
