Your whole concept is very endearing and the soundtrack is high quality and suitable to games. I loved "Resolve" - jazzy little piece that, if I hadn't already gotten the Earthbound vibe, would have sold it for me. Great job!

Description
The Comet's Passenger is about an alien on a crashing comet. Scientists want to study it, the government wants to destroy it, and Hazel can only imagine how scared and alone it must feel.
The game is a fast-paced platformer, where you race to get Hazel to the comet's crash site to give the alien some small comfort.
The soundtrack was made in Ableton Live 10, performed live on a handful of Roland synth plugins.
The first two tracks are parts of the intro cutscene, where Hazel decides to chase after the comet.
Next is the Scientists' Theme, which would play in areas where they're present.
The final track is the ending theme, a freeform piano piece that calls back to Hazel's piece of the intro.
Message from the artist:
Help Hazel race to the falling comet to save a small alien!
Theme
Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)
