If you want to loop a track then scroll to the chapter markers (not the timestamps!) and click or tap ‘View All’. This brings up a playlist-style Chapter Selection menu where you get the options to share or loop each timestamp.

Why do the other titles exist? Quarth is decent enough if a bit difficult to say but Block Game is almost existentially generic and Block Hole is downright inappropriate.

The game is a cool mix of Tetris and shoot ‘em up action accompanied by a rhythmically weird soundtrack which has a kind of… goofy arpeggiated flavour? I don’t think I can word the appeal of this soundtrack right. Check out ‘The Closing Game in the Universe’.

Check out the intense dithering on the title screen of this version of the game. It looks cool even if its not entirely convincing.
