Hey, thanks so much for playing! I'm so glad to hear you found it satisfying to play.

What sort of motion did you have in mind for the background? Like birds and clouds?

As for the music, it was a bit of a struggle on where to even start, I couldn't really think of what genre would best be fitting. I agree that something else could be better. Do you have any examples of styles of music that you think would be more appropriate?

Thank you so much for the feedback, it really helps me. Is there anything else?

Thanks for answering!

I thought about birds and clouds, and maybe a little rustling of trees /grass to add motion to the background (but not too much, so it becomes distracting), but don't know how hard it would be.

The style or genre of the music isn't the problem, i actually think the song is quite fitting. My problem comes down to the instrumentation/effects: The Piano (?) sounds too mufffled/damped and notes, due to the strong reverb, stay around ringing too long, so every note is pretty undefined. This causes everything to blend together and ends in a sadly unfocused sounding track.

I hope i explained it good enough and is helpful!

Ah I see, so just a little rustling of some foreground art to bring it to life!

I completely understand what you mean about the reverb, it was a design choice to make it so muffled in an attempt to make it seem nostalgic. Perhaps it is not having the desired effect!

Thank you for explaining, it is very helpful!
