Very good work, nice job. I like these traditional pixelstyle compositions.

I liked the vibe you were going for! For Sale reminds me of either the PokeMart or PokeCenter theme! Great work!

Developer

Thank you!

At first I didn't understand how it was a palindrome but looking at the screenshots it clearly was so good job!

I liked the pad you used in the battle theme that played over everything as I think it gave the song a nice grandiose feeling.

The first 3 notes of the shop theme made me think it was the pokemart theme so it did feel like a shop theme.

Developer

Thank you!
The palindrome comes mainly from the melody and the bass, that I inverted.
I also added a intro for the battle theme, which maybe breaks the palindrome formula.

Hi! Really cool tracks! I really like the RPG vibe and it totally feels like a boss fight theme. The other track has nice feeling for a shop or menu. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!
