This was so much fun. Very charming 8-bit dirge. Smiled the whole time. Looking forwarding to listening to some more of your work on SoundCloud!

Very cheerful and upbeat- great job!

A music which conveys, by the choice of its melody, its instruments and its atmosphere, a communicative joy. It's rhythmic, fun, and despite the dissonance between the different instruments, the whole still sounds great. The 8-bit percussions bring a waddle walk which lends itself perfectly to a progressive stroll on trails in search of adventure. Very nice and pleasant to listen to.

Love the sounds!  It got me grooving in the first ten seconds.  Such a nifty and fun composition!

I'm really digging the chip you've got going on here. Great work!

Excellent updated chiptune sounds! Snappy bass, really fun track.

This is a lovely catchy tune, feels very retro and I like how the motifs all interweave and change as the piece progresses, and all the parts sound very distinct from one another, it's so clean!

It feels very dark and cave-like, and I really like the bass sound used, it's chunky!

Very catchy and funny track to listen, I like how  the different synth voices complement each others. Great work

I love how well-differentiated the different voices are, and the rhythms were so immediately catchy! It also feels very restrained, which is super refreshing– I’m used to hearing chiptunes that are totally saturated with sound at all times. I think you nailed the feeling of chill resource-acquisition games (terraria, etc.) without just copying their style. Great work!

Absolutely nailed in-game music!!! Nothing would get me jamming more in a game like this than your track! Enjoyed it all the way through! Great work <3

I could 100% get behind listening to this in a mining game! 

Impression: Your music instantly reminded me of an 8bit mining game. Something cute and 2D. Love it! 

Creativity: I loved how simple the melodies are. It really feels like something that should be playing the background of a game. It felt unique and helped me imagine a great game!

Quality: The music is mixed perfectly and all of your sounds harmonize and resolve amazingly! There is almost nothing you could do to make this better quality!  

Correlation to the theme: I can kind of see how this could correlate to the theme quite well bit I did struggle to see exactly how the music fits the theme. Regardless of this I still absolutely loved this! 

Well done!

It would be super cool if you could check out my submission too: https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam/rate/1071576
