Description
Concept: You, an outsider, arrive in a town with a prominent cloctower where the inhabitants have their time stolen by nightmarish entities. Battle the nightmares and help restore the hours of the clock to the townsfolk.
Started with a very basic tick-tock beat and found a leitmotif for the town as well as a more threatening sound for the nightmare tracks. Used beepbox.co as a primitive DAW.
Message from the artist:
I wanted to try my hand at quickly composing something based on a theme.
Clocktower Battle is the track I'm most satisfied with.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
First and foremost, the soundtrack is built around a beat that resembles the ticking of a clock. Secondly, it is written for a game where the player explores a town that experiences time-theft and has a prominent clocktower.

Pretty cute entry, I especially liked the second song! Nice job.
I think you got a lot out of something very limited, which is very impressive.
I noticed that your tracks move a lot more harmonically then other loop based tracks, which is a very good way to make sure the entire doesn't run itself out.
Overall, pretty nice considering the limited workstation.
There are a lot of good ideas here and interesting melodies and progressions. I like the movement in clocktower battle. I wanted to hear more variety though, either by changing things up within the tracks, or shortening them. Overall though it's a nice cohesive sound. Thanks for making and sharing.
I enjoyed the progression from track to track, I think living in the track itself I wasn't always digging it, but when I consider the impression I got from the 4 tracks overall, I was definitely able to conjure an image of the game as described. I would have loved for these tracks to be a bit shorter and for there to be more of them, descending deeper and deeper into the nightmare aspect.
Although I have to save the townsfolk, I feel like I want to raid Dracula house :]]
And the rhythm actually challenges me. It would kill some Osu players :]]
It required a bit of getting used to but after the end of the second track, I was really getting into it. I legit think your submission is the one to incorporate "tick-tock" into musical elements most naturally!
I like how the theme gets darker, while staying the same, as the game moves forward.
(Go team Clocktower! :D)

Clocktower Town was indeed my favorite! It really got my attention with the jazz+rock style! Rhythmically the one I liked most was Clocktower Battle which reminds me of brazilian samba
