Main Theme: This flowing theme feels like it would work really well for a game on the ocean under the stars. The harp feels so nice with the soft plucky arpeggios backing the long and smooth melodies.

Lost: I think that having a small string ensemble reducing the main theme is a very creative way to convey a more somber tone while using the main motif and not having to recreate music and using what has already been made.

Just One Wish: This part of your soundtrack is simple and sweet melody that leads very well into the following theme.

Magic Island: The voices really make this area feel magical! This is my favorite part of your soundtrack because of the serenity and majesty of this version of the theme.

Final Boss: The pulsing brassy instruments really turn up the energy in this final reprise of the main theme! I am a fan of epic orchestral boss battles with elements of beauty in them - and you did a great job with this one. Thank you for your work and for sharing!

This was really cool! I enjoyed getting to hear the breakdown of each part on your Soundcloud. Like a few other people have said, I think it was well done but could have had more variation to keep it interesting. Regardless, well done!

What a lovely arrangement of melodies! Very mystical and wonderful overall

Good work on this one!  Reminded me a lot of hollow knight

Great work, I like the mood of these tracks and the instruments you used. Had some lovely melodies in there as well. Nice job!

I like how your main theme shows up throughout the soundtrack. Very few submissions usually achieve this (or even try).  Great job! You could try changing it up some more, like the other person suggested. I'm thinking of making tempo or rhythmic variations of the theme, and using different instrument groups. This may add some more variety (at the risk of making the theme less recognizable, I know the challenge!).  Very nice orchestral bouquet tho. This was lovely!

It honestly felt repetitive in the end, especially with the final boss. But you have a great theme, well fitting the jam and pleasant to listen to. I actually really liked how you made this evolve before the last song. 

A suggestion would be to keep the same spirit (I mean one theme or chord progression ) and for different songs : 1- try a new melody. 2- change the tempo of it (not double or half). 3- maybe add a twist somewhere like changing a chord or having a pause. 

I tell you this because I liked your submission and I think you (and everyone) can take good things out of positive criticism. I tried to be constructive and hope this will keep you motivated :)

I really like how all of your tracks are very closely related, I especially like the vibes I get from Magic Island. Really great work!

I love the main melody which keeps coming back, really cool submission!
