Yes, those are indeed hoses running from the intakes to the engines - it required building around the engines from start to finish, which probably added an hour to the build time. I attempted to make the ship as conceivably real as possible.

This joker has much firepower for a handheld rendition of our favorite zero-gravity spacecraft.  

The "thumbs up" is for size comparison.

Theme of Level 23: A Road that Leads

Techno-style Drum&Bass, which manages to sound playful and evil at the same time.
A very interesting song for a very interesting level.

This one was a MAJOR pain in the ass to record in spite of the fact I only changed out a few instruments. In the first half of the song, the French horn was only audible on the left speaker, so this took some nitty-gritty editing to get it where I wanted it; I had to independently record the French horn as a solo track, reverse stereo channels with audacity, then paste it into the beginning of the song. It was freakin' ridiculous. Also increased the pizzicato strings an octave, changed out the echo drops for a marimba because I didn't like how the echo drops sounded when they go from left to right to left to right really fast, but the vibraphone does the job and maintains that "heavenly" element I was going for.

MORE changes: harps, a flute, a dulcimer and a few more changes to give it a slightly different feel. I kept the crystal sounding thingy cuz that just goes with this song, but removed all synthetic pads. Also, a surprise ending on the drum track.
