I voted :)

Gave high marks everywhere. The first one reminds me of the beginning of Rain Man as the car is being lowered and you're not sure if the percussion is going to turn into anything with singing YET or not.  I mean that in the sense of "urrr something vaguely technological is happening maybe my human brain will soon make sense of it"  And then it still only makes 25% sense to my brain like we're going to an animated Jodorowsky production.  That's what I would pair the set of tracks to I think.  The second one has a nice ambience, still very industrial happenings going on.  And I just feel still very like it's either the J-man here or Fantastic Planet or some 70s era thru Heavy Metal thing occurring.  Highly excellent demonstration of "experimental"

Must recommend.  Well done Aurora!

Gave this one high marks everywhere.

As a GenX'er i am triggered by Raid of Bungeling Bay memories because you have

a) objectives that are distant

b) must watch your fuel state

I think if it were expanded to have really rough iron-man difficulties you'd place the buttons farther apart or only partly recharge you etc.  Some kind of efficiency rating the way super metroid has different endings based on going through fewer returns-to-cage.  Different % reward endings of the game etc.  This is well set-up for that sort of thing.

Pleased enough to put this in my collection of 5-star rated things i rate in jams.

Sufficiently inspired by this game to go add a whole collection line to my itch main page for Rated things in jams that i liked. it's getting founded right now, just because of this one.  Superb Tetris variant.  It not only cleverly expands on the idea but also is fully featured in its implementation of the expansion.  Fantastic music as well, good transitions when the player is close to ending the game.

i needed to do it to distinguish all my silly things because some are in Itch and some to do with just doing the rest of what shovels-out through Distrokid etc

The odds that you are 10X the programmer I am are like 95%

it's anybody's guess when i'll get back to it because i'm in several jams and juggling a day job and my other music production in mainline soundcloud :)

Usually I feel a bit fatigued playing off a lead-synth-tone interweaving for more than a minute or so, but i think it was brief enough overall, or as you point out the freshness engaged me enough, that I was able to not feel the usual levels of grind.

Glad you liked it.

well if it might be listened to by kids or someone that might be offended theoretically then there's price friction to drop the likelihood, like if you do something truly wildly controversial it can help reduce trouble

Just a matter of picking album/soundtrack in the game type and maybe setting a minimum price if you think the subject matter is less than universal consumption like more explicit, i kind of on purpose did a pricing tier to make anything adult-ish several bucks yet at the same time having it on distrokid thru Spotify and the other platforms. that way folks know the -name- of the higher price one in the same album so theyre aware what keyword to search even if they never straight up buy-on-Itch directly

cool thanks for the followback, i just figure if we musicians make a web of followbacks we can slightly get more signal slowly

Hey I heard Jungle Stage and liked it.

Gave you an itch follow, and reposted the soundcloud track and placed it in some of my soundcloud soundtrack playlists.

Also what Discord server will you be in most of the time Rhombus to field questions if it's a different show-runner's Discord Server 

so we can chitty chat in real time

maybe in Aurora's?  Like the same one as Tiny Jam or build another stub chat off that?  Just brainstorming ideas

Fine work all around.

Hey there :)

I had you followed on Itch and somehow not yet on BandCamp.

That, has been rectified.

As always pleased with your output in the music jams.

I think I like Factory and MallStation, the last two the most, the Factory one makes me think of about the 3rd stage of Battle Garegga (others reading this will know which one I mean the funk synth is super similar).  And then MallFactory is like the 6th or so stage also in Battle Garegga,

Both these pieces would fit right into that kind of 90's vertical Shmup shooter game.

Really really super pleased with this submission i gave it high rating marks.

Nice job.  If there's anything it's that it was almost too conventionally orchestral but I'm known as the rebel of the bunch around here so I have a bias toward unorthodoxy.  So, there's that.

Fine piece.  Very clever to have it sound a bit like a quasar's noise signature.

I think like A+ for creative and uniqueness for having the suspense stabs come in and out like jump scares.  I'm not sure that it sticks the landing but that comes with practice.  But i definitely saw what you were up to.  I'm kind of on the wild side in these game jams since I started so I'm sympathetic to this stuff :)

Everything is super majestic in form, i am really pleased with this submission.

Some are saying they can't see what the correlation is but if Alfred is going through death and reincarnation the unknown realms are kind of spiritual, the vibe of the cover art is like the leper king of Jerusalem in the Kingdom of Heaven movie kind of.

This feels like it totally could go in a game boy advance or some handheld game.  Very chiptune 90's.  The effort going into the concept is top notch as well.  Well thought-out.

Highly pleased with this submission!

I got farther in Final Fantasy 5 than in Final Fantasy 6 in personal experience (both titles at least seven years after the Super Famicom release)

So i did have FF5 in mind while building the first track.

Glad you gave the stuff a listen.

Top-notch production on this submission, and cleverly hides that it's later going to be a metal piece with a really good classical intro which shows firm command of both genres and the ability to combine stuff.

Super pleased with this one.

I can feel the high production quality on this right away, the atmospheric sound effects were right on point.  Good koto drumming, the melody makes me think of a Civilization game by Sid Meier loading up at the start process.  Or maybe Total War Rome just as the armies start moving but haven't come into contact yet.  Very similar vibe to that.

Loved it overall.  Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Nice disciplined track.  The sections are logically proceeding and build the way something like this is supposed to.  Cool ambience to the piece and the only thing is it's a little minimal but i'm known for being the wild one all the time so take that with a grain of salt.

Glad I gave this submission a shot.

Cheers

you have to remember the Alan Parsons original A Turn Of A Friendly Card (in 2 parts) is about Vegas gambling addiction and they were kind of leaning toward getting more Christian about that time so some moral messaging in their songs, was more prominent very close to the end of their more famous work around '85 with Ammonia Avenue
