Message from the artist
This was a fun jam! Palindrome was an interesting theme and making songs that sounded the same forwards and backwords was more difficult than I thought it'd be. CAVE EVAC is my fake game about exploring and escaping a dangerous cave that was the inspiration behind these tracks.

Difficulty

C (Super Challenge)

Make something that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

Really ground soundtrack, very perfessional and commercial. Fantastic submission.

Really great title theme.

Enemies Spotted is a great pensive, enemy stalking impression.

The shop them is head bobbing funk.

The boss theme has sound fx that me think of Ico like a haunting shadow is coming from any side.


All of them had some great bass.

It's all Really fun.  Good work.

First off, CAVE EVAC is a fantastic idea for a title fitting this jam and I can really feel the urgency in Enemies Spotted.

Shop loop is a real funky jam too. Gives me Earthbound vibes in the first/last sections. Nicely done!

Very cool that you went with a game idea first, and then wrote tracks for specific scenarios. Liked all of them, they flowed nicely from one to another and would make for a good and coherent soundtrack (although for my taste Enemies Spotted was a bit heavy on the low end mixing wise, but that's probably just up to personal taste). I think my favourite one was the Boss Theme. Really well done! 😊👏
Now all you have to do is make the game. 😉

Really impressive stuff! Challenge C without just reversing the whole track at the end is always impressive!

Something I thought was funny is the idea that the game is about a cave escape so why is there a shop down there?

One of the comments mentioned the boss theme reminding them of Inscryption and I got excited and they were not wrong! It sounds like the battle against P03 who is my favorite character.

Really great job!

I thought it was funny to have a shop in a mysterious cave as well!

You are absolutely right it sounds like P03s theme!

Inscryption is rad, thanks!

Wow this is insane! You really got some catchy songs going, and for the most part they are exactly the same backwards! The best entry I've heard yet.

These are all pretty good! My favorite was definitely "Enemies Spotted", but I also really like how "Shop Loop" sounded.
