The instrument choice is great. There's a reoccuring motif/pattern of a syncopated rhythm. The chosen melody/harmonies are interesting, although i feel like we're kind of getting thrown into it without much of an intro. Also the ending is a fadeout, nothing wrong with that by itself but its an easy way out haha

Some dissonance going on, which fits the horror vibe youre going for. I think its the B transitioning to the F (a tritone) which makes it so unsettling. Could fit well into a game where youre the monster :p  It leaves a lot up to the imagination, i dont get a particularly tropical or beachy vibe from this. Without context, the monster could essentially be everywhere, and maybe not even a sea monster! Good job still, its a quite urban track i feel like

Nice percussive track, and interesting melody. It reminds me of certain african music. Cool overall :D The theme is mostly constant and repetitive, which isn't bad, just an observation. 

A very percussive track, with a quite ambient mysterious melody setting in later. Overall quite mystical as you said in your description. Maybe something tribal going on. Overall very repetitive, which can be nice and relaxing. Nice ending with the crickets setting in, maybe nighttime started? I like it

Retro-vibes/Nintendo DS associations in my head. Maybe a good nighttime theme for a tropical island. Very jazzy, good chord progressions. The bells in the background are very fun and reinforce the calming vibe for me. 

I like the smooth pitch-changing at the start, very relaxed. Then transforms into something with more tension. Enjoyed the saxophone motif, and the elephant sound at 1:38, works surprisingly well with saxophone, very creative. The calm/romantic bridge at 1:19 is beautiful! 

It starts intriguing, transforms into a confused dissonant circus-ish waltz. The pufferfish might be on an identity-discovering trip! The very last sequence of chords is surprising, because they make sense and end the piece on a positive note. Its unique :D

Quite chaotic and dissonant at places, very unpredictable, lots of suspense. The creepiness is definitely there! The reversed string type instrument at 00:55 reminds me of gameboy game soundtracks, specific example: Lavender town theme in Pokemon Blue/red when the main melody starts. Creepy associations are there. Nice work

Severely detuned piano combined with some dissonant sounds from time to time makes this song feel like pure drunkenness, but the percussion does provide some extra structure. The static strings coming in at 01:13 provide some sudden suspense, like something bad is about to happen, but it doesn't quite get addressed or released afterwards i feel like. The dissonance afterwards is like an aftertaste of this part. The "crash" type sound at 01:44 is some type of release, which is nice. Good job

Fun beginning with the horse sound. Unexpected drum beat, groovy and experimental melody. This is what departs the most from the "Old" part of it, but it does add to the creativity which is great :D Getting some aphex twin vibes at certain places. 

Almost a nostalgic feel, its them retro pigeons or something

It's great,  it sounds like theyre preparing to take over everything

It's a sweet little melody! There is one exotic thing though that kind of surprised me, and maybe that was your intention, but : You seemed to start in the key of G-major, with a little melody with a good bass, that's alright. But then from the 9th second, when you do the rundown from A to A an octave down, you're playing an F and not a F#, which would make it G mixolydian. Nothing wrong with that,  but when you have the expectation of G major, that F (third note in the rundown from 00:09, as well as 00:45 ) sounds really dissonant to me. 

So if you'd like to do an experiment you could switch out that F for an F# and see how that sounds. Nice work !

Dreamy, positive, as if you're skipping along to the triplets together with your dragon. I like it! 

I like it! I agree with the description of the whimsical vibe. To me it starts with a certain ambiguity, almost creepy and fit for Halloween, but then you come out with that (i think) C# major chord at around 15 seconds, quite hopeful and nice, injects some positivity and wonder into it. The rest is a nice exploration

Very nice, quite an abstract song, but this makes it great as ambience in a game, like you described. It has a certain asian style to it, maybe this is some japanese dragon story??

Nice jazzy chords, really laid back. Nice textures and decorations. 

A very interesting piece. The low tones give it an almost ominous vibe to me. Also, it starts in a 3/4 waltz rhythm, but in the 3th bar going to the 4th, something strange happens : The waltz pattern starts again on the second beat of the fourth bar, which was pretty disorienting to me. This can be an artistic choice. Overall a dreamy and nice song, good instruments as well. 

Cool concept, some slight Baldis basics vibes. The embedded text was unexpected and cool. Well done 

Cool game, good soundtrack, disgusting looking parasite, good arachnophobia-type stuff.

Fun concept. I almost finished it. The soundtrack is a bit repetitive, but i like the game :D

Very well done. From reading your description, i expected something straight from Microsoft Paint, but turns out there's well made art in there. 

(turns out the comments on the jam submission page are seperate from the normal comments, so heres my comment again) : my iq is too low for this game, but cool stuff

cool game, at first i was confused and tried to drag the carrots, but turned out you have to click them. pretty nice. as someone else said, a soundtrack would be cool. If you ever decide to continue on this, i volunteer to make a lil soundtrack for you, just if youre interested

I don't know why i played this game, but it was better than expected. Edginess and strange weeb humor, it brought me a sense of nostalgia. Good soundtrack, it really made the game more enjoyable. All in all, it had the feeling of a group of friends with diverse personalities enjoying their time and sticking together, working on a goal. Good stuff 

On the discord there are a bunch of past jams, and even Youtube videos about the results. I think this is legit. Whoever made this is probably just busy with work or whatever, and will start this at some point today

Good stuff. Principle gets repetitive after a while, but i enjoyed the artstyle and the music

A short and weird game about stealing tourists food to provide for your family.

Havent played it yet, but looks very cute from what i can see!

They're looking nice and comfy!

In Necessary Evil, you play as a young boy in a monastery. You overslept and missed out on a roadtrip. As punishment, the nun in your monastery sends you to a place to get supplies. This will have interesting consequences.

Try it out here, i'd love some reactions or feedback. Keep in mind that this can be considered a prototype. It does contain slight horror elements  :  https://heroppic.itch.io/necessaryevil
