Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
О! It's adventure time! Aaaand...
Why don't you come up with the main events of the game, please!This is your own personal adventure! Use your imagination!
Actually, due to some troubles in my personal life, my head was completely empty and I had no ideas for the game. All the music presented here is just a single stream of music that should carry you through your own adventure...
Sorry :>

P.S. I recommend downloading the file, 'cause the soundclound is a little weird sounding (but truth be told, I don't like any of the versions of this track, lol)
What genre is your soundtrack?
I don't know. Seriously. I don't know. It's a weird mix of chiptune, orchestral instruments, synthesizers, weird sounds, and free time
Anything else you'd like to add?
I didn't do the challenge because.... I don't understand music theory :_
(It's a good thing that, as far as I understood correctly, the challenge is not mandatory!)

Woah. A whole 9 minutes of straight song is crazy. I like how the high end percussion sound was all bit crushed and crispy. Great stuff, actually felt like I was going on a journey lol.
Awesome! Some fantastic mood shifts in this piece, never staying still too long. Captured the essence of journey very well.
I love all of the percussive elements panning around, and the interesting instrument combinations. So much fun, thanks for creating something so unique!
I think you mixed your orchestral elements very well, tucked behind the electronic elements. If your orchestral elements were front and centre I think my impression of the overall quality would have been reduced, as they do sound very 'artificial' (or just like low-end VST's with not much automation etc). But as they weren't the feature it was a non-issue
I love the diverse pallete of sounds you incorporated in this. Don't see much sound design effort in compositions. Respect the willingness to be unique. Do you construct these sounds your self?
Thank you for the adventure, really felt like a nice walk through a man made jungle filled with unfamiliar sounds. Like a safari ride!
These sounds are phenomenal! What VSTs do you use??
I think your strings could benefit from a little bit of a high end boost (maybe like an 8kHz shelf or something). Sick stuff though!!
My god...
This entire composition felt mightily existential. I also love your well chosen uses of separate instruments. Some feeling completely digital while there are some elements of the heroic orchestral.
There were many catchy motifs like the rapid pulses and arpeggios of that distorted harpsichord.
It gives me some sense of analog horror as it reels in with the climax. Some existential or another force of that scale terrorising the player until, it runs off with itself. There's only so much something like this can do to someone. Whatever the horrifying thing was...just left, leaving whoever the main cast is feeling relieved. It truly was a conclusion at the end. You have overcomed something truly great.
I'm sure you will too :]
Certainly very epic! Some really interesting sound design in this.
Quite a memorable piece. I would describe this as an electronic symphony! The way you put everything together turned the song into a journey, and thus you nailed the theme in my opinion! And in a creative way too.
I don't have much constructive feedback for this. Maybe you could turn this style of piece into a little series of electronic symphonies? I think that would be cool and unique.
even if you don't know music theory (I don't either) you still managed to get the whole tone scale in there! it had a terraria vibe to it. Good job!
