This is just amazing! I love the jazzy feel, it gives heavy Kirby vibes, which I love, and is so much fun to listen too. Honestly one of the highest quality soundtracks in the Jam. Outstanding job!

Description
I used OpenMPT as DAW
Genre is mainly digital fusion, but I also did orchestra work on this.
The track Zero Steps Backwards represents our hero going to their mission to preserve this icy world (the bridge in the level)
The track Heal the Bridge! represents the bridge preservation while birds are escaping the light of the Sun. It's basically a boss battle theme.
The track Global Warning is the second step of the bridge preservation boss battle against the light of the Sun. This time, the Sun is shiny even more and the bridge has unfortunately more chances to break down.
Artist comment:
OST Composing Jam entry about a hero defending their icy home from the light of the Sun.
Theme:

How does it fit the theme?
I tried to do three soundtracks for this jam. One that would represent the icy atmosphere of our hero's world and their mission ongoing ; one for the light of the Sun trying to destroy the bridge ; and one for the Sun strengthening the light and making the ice and permafrost easier to break down.
