Really nice! It sounds really sweet and gentle, yet also has some beat and 'oomph' to it. Nice melodies, fits the theme really well, and overall, great entry!

Very sweet song, like a first town theme. It even gives a little nostalgia! The mixing is a bit uneven, but I still liked it a lot!

會令人想起線上遊戲常見的主城音樂 XD

因為這首曲子與Jam活動,初次認識SolarPunk風格,自己作品中也剛好會有類似風格的都市,若有作到那邊的話,也會想在自己作品中用上這樣的音樂呢。

非這次Jam的參加者無法評分,但還是支持一下~

Amazing chord progression here! 

The combination of this lead and piano/violins really fits the theme in my opinion. And yes maybe some improvement can be done on the mixing, but I know it's tricky (I hate that myself ^^) 

I look forward hearing more from you

This track feels like a wonderful ending/credit track to a fun adventure game. I like the combination of synthesized drum, bass, and chiptune lead with the acoustic piano, woodwinds, and pizzicato/legato strings. The harmonies you use give great interest to the city you are aurally describing. I am a big fan of this track and it makes me want to hear more of your music. Excellent work and thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for the heartful feedback! Looking forward to listening to your track, too!

It's wonderful!

There are so many positive things to say!

The piano is sublime from the beginning. The atmosphere is radiant and sunny. And bam! At 43 seconds, we have a harmonic progression coming from nowhere that fits perfectly (I'm studying it on the piano because I'm particularly fan of this funky little kind of the chords).

Then the melody starts again with a kind of electro legato portamento flute which sounds great (if you know the Katamari Damacy soundtrack, we are in the same spirit).

And at 1'20" you go back to your funky chords but you enrich them and you go even further in the progression! Splendid.

After that you made a beautiful part more minor that adds variety.

But I would like to emphasize your transition at 2'25" which seems to be minor and major augmented (?). I love it!

Well, compliments are nice, but criticism is a good way to progress.

So here are two points that in my opinion could improve the mix

1- the bass is probably too much on the left. It's usually more pleasant to listen to it in the center

2- the drums are too loud compared to the other instruments, especially the bass drum which takes too much space for my taste.

That's it, I've already said a lot. You are in my top 3 of this jam. Bravo !

From the quality of the piano composition, I think you are a pianist. Am I wrong?

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! It is my pleasure that you appreciate my work. And yes, I'm a pianist.

The chord at 2'25" is a minor major seventh chord, and I'm happy that you love it <3

The music jam is a great opportunity to meet and learn from other wonderful game composers like you. ^_^
