Dawnstar’s launch trailer boasts the funkiest track you’ll hear this week.

Dawnstar looks like an interesting title.  Mixing equal parts funky jazz, loose morals, and space-flight action, it’s hard not to compare the game to the classic anime Cowboy Bebop.  And considering the universal praise that show gets, that’s the very best praise I could give an indie game.  The background music, called “Top Shelf,” is a licensed track from the Elias Music Library. Kudos to the devs for finding such a great backing track to establish the mood.

If the sweet tunes have you interested in giving Darkstar a look you’ll find it for sale as part of Indie Royale’s Debut 2 Bundle. Here’s the description Indie Royale gives:
