Congrats on participating in your first jam together!

In this short exploration experience we navigate relaxing environments to collect musical crystals that invite us with delicate licks. The areas are naturalistic and evoke places like forests or beaches with the sounds of birds and waves. It reminds me quite a bit of a game of mine if it weren’t for some carefully placed walls.

Not to spoil the ending, but hearing the beat finally drop and all of the components come together was a great payoff to the experience. The composition is relaxing and summery, with warm lo-fi production, evoking all of the places we visited before. I definitely let it repeat a few times before I returned to my desktop.

At times there were some issues that made navigating its world difficult for me. For the most part I was able to locate my objectives and gauge their distances with stereo positioning and volume. However, the footstep sounds were inconsistently triggered so at times I didn’t know whether I was moving. Some more atmospheric sounds could also give us more landmarks to make connections and understand our movements in relation to space.

Thanks for your submission. Good work!
