hell yeah, boss -- glad to help!

Yep, you're good with attribution. Thanks and good luck!

yep, no worries — attribution is all you need! (sorry I may not have set the licensing on this pack.)

Enjoy the hand-painted uniqueness that go into these!

Very neat! Not a vn maker myself, but could see these assets being used for video mock-ups that go alongside music I make. 

Maybe including .gifs, too, for the animated output would helpful to save a step? Regardless, a neat pack!

The concept sounds cool, and I like that it occurs within a set grid, so there's potential for lots of board manipulation and management, but I'm afraid I wasn't able to figure how the things I do on the board are affecting my game for better or worse. I run out of money, waited til 5, then it was game over. I think it could use a couple example screenshots of a "successful" game, maybe?

thanks! Got some other additions in the same series if you need more material.

thanks! Great name drop with read only memories -- 2 Mello's stuff is great

ha I'd guess you'd like that one! "Haber" is a killer guitar player and works a lot more with mixing + modern synths, so this track definitely evokes more of his style

thank you! Ha yeah I don't think I've got the chops to write classical jazz, but I figured a sort of hip-hop + pop + jazz fusion thing might work. Thanks for listening!

ha thanks! yeah he felt like the right angle to go given the character's nature. figured at least few folks would know him!

dang, I don't think I'll ever learn lol. this tends to happen when I do chip stuff and I'm always teetering on whether to use a pass filter and certainly seems like I should. thanks for the feedback and appreciate your adjusting it to be able to give it a proper listen!

Needless to say, the mixing is incredibly well-balanced: the heavy parts sound like top-tier metal tracks out there today, all done within nine days. The combination of powerful guitars and synths all wrapped together give me a Guilty Gear vibe in the best ways. Great work all around!

I think my favorite part of this project is a more cohesive connection between the theme, game concept, and music. I feel equally guilty of doing it, but many projects come off as concepts slapped together after the fact to explain the music somebody made. Your project feels more intentional than that. I agree that some of the tracks could use a "swell," if you will, to complement the soothing main hooks. That said, I think you did well to come with something more holistic ans I can appreciate that!

Can only reiterate that it's a good starting point, but needs some complexity and depth!

Impressed with how robust the skill tree is for such a small game! Really enjoyed the "digital dashboard" kind of aesthetic as well. A shame there wasn't any music or anything to add to the experience, though!

Naturally, it's only a starting point, but I would say that it feels kind of tough to get started enough to earn the fall power necessary to buy skills that'll prolong your playtime. Could just be I was unlucky, but maybe as a tutorial stage / beginner's section, you could make the blocks not randomized to start so that the player can build up some fall power and better adjust to the controls?

A cool starting point, I'd say! I think it lays solid groundwork for a more puzzle-like game where you have to get to the can of beans in the fewest number of leaps? Reminded me (very) loosely of Intelligent Qube on the PS1 with its aesthetic.

Areas for improvement would be more obstacles / challenges and something to tie to the bean-collecting together with the falling lol, but I do get that it's hard to develop features fully in a short jam. Overall cool entry!

Yep yep, that makes sense. Think I overlooked it while posting. Will update shortly. Thanks!

haberchuck.music@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and we will follow back! (Or both lol)

absolutely! Ideally just credit us where appropriate and be sure to share the project with us so we can share it with others when you're ready. Reach out if you need anything else!

The hip-hop feel is off the charts: not sure which I like best, but figured dig the new jack feel of no more stars and that piano + drum mix in Dr. Starstealer. Nice work!

Thank you kindly! We knew we wanted to make a fake chip to play around with the tracker,  but once the lore started to be written it spiraled out of control ha. Appreciate your kind words!

Too kind -- thank you! Glad you enjoyed that track. Definitely had the right feel for a happy shop theme.

Thank you! Definitely get the feedback about the repetition: kind of a balance of "old games used to loop a lot" and, well, just time to add more that felt like a good addition to any track instead of just a tacked-on extra theme. Thanks for listening!

Why thank you! That track was actually the first, hence the attention to detail, but thank you for all the kind words!

Far too kind, but much appreciated!

Really enjoyed this! Think Typhoon was my favorite thanks to its turbulent nature that still felt held together musically. I also like that your tracks seem to have their own identity since, I feel, orchestral tracks can off get swept up in a similar aesthetic that you hear over and over. Nice work!

Not somebody who can write orchestral myself, but I can certainly appreciate the magnitude of that sound profile and how it matches it up with the theme here! Feel like the heavy use of piano and strings provided your tunes some real weight behind them, appropriate for something story-driven. If you do another composing jam, I'd say just aim for one track that maybe deviates from the main motif more? Otherwise don't have much else constructive to add!

Think you have a good concept and a lot strong core ideas. They just need some expanding! Totally get how tough it is with time constraints, though. That said, would love to hear a couple of these tracks with a counter-theme to strengthen the main loops you've written.

The big orchestra sounds really do seem to capture the grand and epic feel that correlates so closely with the theme, I would say. A lot of different instrumentation going on, too, which provided the songs with a lot of depth and variety. Nice stuff! Definitely couldn't manage orchestral stuff like this myself.

I really enjoyed how you leaned into the classic RPG feel — absolutely took me back those days. There's a particular whimsical motif, well supported by the orchestral instrumentation, that graces each song and ties it all together. Really good work!

Thoughtful use of different stars as your starting points for each track! Also, enjoyed that each theme had a second half, so to call it, to provide some variation to the ambient vibe. Feel like often times this kind of music rides top long on one motif, so thought that was a good choice on your part!

dang, sorry friend. I legit put the pass filter on for that purpose — the stuff never seems to bother me, but suppose I oughta tamp those tones down more heavily in future jams. Thanks for listening!

Ha thank you! Pingudroid mentioned that bass and I found out that the one bass channel (I split it to zero in on highs and lows) got pushed to the left only 😑 ohhhh well. Thanks for listening!

Really like the idea of mixing break beats in with a more electronic sound!

I think my favorite section are the muted, low-key jazzy and retro sounding sections like in Smoke and Mirrors + Now It's Personal. I know break beat music is so focused on rhthym, but I think I would like as well a couple melodic lines to cut through those droning sections. That said, overall nice work!

so I just listened again and there is some bass in the right, BUT I ran two bass channels to nitpick at the highs and lows instead or EQing one complete channel and I'm wondering if slid the pan (instead of the volume) slightly left on the low end when trying to adjust volumes!
