Musicblocks

Musicblocks were Glitch’s pocket music: small collectible blocks, each holding one tune, that you could play for yourself and anyone nearby. Tiny Speck released the recordings with the rest of the game, and every tune that survived is here to hear. Press play on any block.

Two rare ones

Goodnight Groddle and SB-1 belong to no series. Goodnight Groddle was once the song that sent the world to sleep, and SB-1 is the one the Giants hummed while they imagined it.

How they play

A musicblock is never used up: play it as often as you like. While it plays, the street music steps aside, and it comes back when the tune ends.

  • Playing a block costs 2 energy and lifts your mood by 2.
  • The first time you hear a tune it pays 50 iMG, or 1,000 for SB-1.
  • Come back to it after a month away and it pays 100 iMG.
  • After 4 hours it counts again for the day: 10 iMG for the first tune of a game day, 5 for each new one after that.
  • Any sooner and it is stale: still a good tune, but no iMG.
  • A low mood earns less iMG, as everything does.

Where to find them

In the remake a block waits on each street you have not collected one from, always one you do not own yet, so exploring fills the series. SB-1 only comes out of the soil while you tend patches, and Goodnight Groddle turns up once every series tune is yours.

Play Groddle Afternoon to start collecting.

The one still missing

Musicblock T-1 is in Tiny Speck’s item files, with a price and no description. Its tune was tracked down in 2026: a bugle call from a commercial sound library, which Glitch also played when the world shut down for maintenance during its beta. It is not Tiny Speck’s own music and was never released with the game, so it stays off this page.

The tunes are Tiny Speck’s own recordings and the icons its own art, both released into the public domain. The descriptions are from the game’s item files.
