The fifth track of the Smintheus soundtrack. This one is followed by "The Spotlight Bird". The most groovy/funky among others and perhaps pushes synthwave boundaries a bit. I've used too much samples from Amiga Soundtracker Sample Packs here and couple of Dexed VSTi instances. Dexed is fine emulation of good old Yamaha DX7 synth which is now under my favourites tab. 

The track deals with the hermit character from the game. At first I wanted to write something ambienty, imitate the sound of Himalayas but that wen't into unwanted direction. I had mind image of "swamp hermit with aviator sun glasses " while composing the track rather than wanted "highlander spiritual hermit", thus the mood  turned out to be more night jazzy, oh well... :D

Groovy Eye

Aka "Neuton Mouse". The dude who's responsible for making these retro sounding tracks inspired by 80s era music of almost all genres. New wave, italo disco, spacesynth, synthwave, demo/amiga-scene and chiptunes tracks are at your disposal. I prefer not to limit myself in genres, so you might often hear all kinds of fusions whether it's groovy and jazzy twist or hard rock stuff or whatever I think that fits to this kind of music.

I'm also the "indie game developer" and currently developing 2D Survival Gadget-Building Puzzle Game called "Smintheus". Check out homepage and twitter (especially twitter) for moar stuff.
