Description
Equinox is a soundtrack for an action-platformer that does not and likely never will exist. It's a hybrid of chiptune and heavily processed samples.
Message from the artist:
I had a lot of fun working on this. I hope y'all enjoy it too!
Theme:
Story of Seasons
How does it fit the theme?
Each environment in the game is representative of a different season - Primavera Ward is spring, the Forge District is summer, and Station Control is fall. As for winter, you won't reach that until you make planetfall.

Really loved what I heard of this over the course of the jam, and the finished product doesn't disappoint! From what I've seen, you're great at these sort of genre exercises, and this captures everything that's great about chiptune music. Really tight compositions with an emphasis on catchy melodies, & high energy throughout. "Sweat and Steel" is a highlight. So good!
Nice synths and spaciness. Primavera Ward sounds delicious. I love the theme in the coming of age battle against whoever "LOCK" is, and the way that theme comes back in Master Control Unit, which I can only assume is a final battle against something resembling the big evil face thing from the end of Tron called master control program. The action music definitely stands out for me. Good job!
Sweat and Steel was amazing. Very inspiring track for getting creative. Thanks for the OST journey!
love the chiptune aesthetic you were going for! at times, it really reminds me of cave story!
Another OST there putting the strength on the melody, I like it :) I dig the menu theme, Coming of Age sounds cool and The Home Stretch has a nice melancholic vibe. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Nice beats! I really like the mix of chiptune and samples. I like the way you layer different elements to create the ambience of the environments that are proposed in the game description. Cool work!
You really chipped those tunes! I remember 'The Forge District' from the discord, epic stuff.
the storytelling in these tracks is so crazy good. I would get stuck on each boss and in each zone in this game just to vibe. brilliant
I really enjoyed this one, especially the battle themes. Also, representing summer with the stifling heat of a forge and winter with freedom is a fun inversion of the "winter is deathly cold" idea seen in a lot of entries!
This bops
This sounds great! I love your combination of chiptune and samples, I was jamming out to every track
