Very bouncy track, I like it a lot ! It sounds like it could belong in a Smurfs game on the GameBoy on an autoscroller level. Great job !

I can picture the game and the level that this track goes with,  well-made (irrespective of the time spent writing it)

This one was fun! I like the wobbly lead sound around 0:40

Developer

Developer

thank you so much :))

This is some great chiptune! I loved the use of the major IV, gave that Dorian vibe that I think fits this theme perfectly. Cool track! 

Developer

thank you so much! yeah the major iv was a good spice to throw into the mix for sure :)

I love this. I want to know how many trucks in this. And you made  in one hour ? Incredible work!

thanks!!! this song had 8 audio channels, consisting of 5 pitch channels and 3 noise channels (however one of those pitch channels was used as a kick) :)

The melody in this is soooo good!!! I'm hooked on it, I would genuinely love to hear this in a game. All the different synth patches are great; especially the pink noise you use as the snare. Makes me wanna play Shovel Knight. 

Developer

thank you so much!! i’ve never played shovel knight but i know enough to know that the main melody sounds like it would come from that game. yknow i should probably play shovel knight too….

You really should, it's great inspiration. It's super impressive that you made this in an hour too! (I did the same for a few of mine and it was tough) 

Developer

thanks!! i had a pretty rough past few days (hence why i couldn't pour more time into the jam) but I'm glad that i was still able to participate :D
