This was pretty good! I liked the simplicity of the bass as just a sine wave that would occasionally come in to push the energy of the song forward, and I feel like your other instrument selections worked well. Your compositions here were super smooth and nice on the ears as well. great work!

Description
I composed this soundtrack digitally using Ableton. The imaginary game I was composing this soundtrack for was a 2D survival/crafting/simulation game set in space/a sea of stars. Stardew Valley and Core Keeper were sort of my inspirations while composing. I kept it simple, using the same instruments for both tracks. I used bells, marimba, guitar, flute, and a sub sine for a small amount of bass. The music stayed in a higher range with higher pitched instruments because I thought, when we wish upon a star, we often look up and look high, so I kept with that idea and it turned out great!
Message from the artist:
Enjoyed doing this jam, I hope to continue to do more in the future!
Theme:
Wish upon a star
How does it fit the theme?
Musically, the instruments I decided to use were higher pitched, and I rarely ever added bass. I thought "if we wish upon stars, we look up for that" so I kept our ears hearing the upper range of notes, as if we're hearing the stars sing.
