oh I really love the instrument choices. everything really blends well together

Definitely feel the ice theme all throughout, super cool tracks!

Definitely fits the game you described, loved the bass sections!

Thank you! Automating tempo has always felt super clunky but I'm glad I got it working.

Thank you!!

Thank you! And absolutely, I can't help seeing faces in the screenshots =O=

We used the same name! Honestly thought that having a palindromic title would be cliche but there don't seem to be many of us. Regardless, I love the piece, it did a great job of creating the atmosphere you described. It was also a really cool visualization!

Oh I really like this, starting with solo piano was great but the claps at the end made it for me.

Great on all fronts, especially loved Pine Forest. I also got Undertale shop vibes from Shopping Time which was great

Wow, watching the video alongside the music was a trip. Doing all of this in 24 hours is super impressive.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!! The art is by Meagan Meli (www.meaganmeli.com/), she has a lot of great stuff.

I think you did an excellent job of making it sound good with the super challenge, making an ambient track was a good way to go

Thank you!

I think you did an excellent job in paring it down! We love to see another piano piece

Thank you!!

Thank you, glad the emotions came across well!

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that the reverse side sounds good!

Mmm jazzy. I could definitely see the sidescroller as taking place in a rainy city at night. Loved the instrument choices, very different from other submissions.

I love the imagery, thank you!!

Loved the metal elements of it - first entry I've heard that included something like that. Also, I was surprised at how few ratings this had - when I first saw it I figured it would be a very popular pick because I think the artwork is gorgeous.

Great overall composition! The enchanting forest vibe really came through, it sounded magical. Only issue is that I think this is a better fit for category B - it didn't sound to me like the actual audio was reversed, just the notes.

I think this is a really nice ambient track that does the palindromic part well. You could have played the reversed track for me and I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was something that had been reversed. Also made me feel like I was in a yoga class lol.

Track 2 was definitely my favorite, felt like something I would hear in like Daggerfall lol. I think the pieces worked well as palindromes but I think this fits category B instead of C - the notes are played in reverse order but I don't think the music itself is necessarily reversed (unless I'm just bad at listening).

This slaps hard, I was hooked from the beginning. Only critique is that I don't think it fits category B - it definitely utilized palindromic elements but it wasn't exactly the same notes forwards and backwards.

I loved the bass part, I was boppin! The track did feel a little samey throughout, but otherwise I enjoyed it!

I think this work is really creative and has a great theme (I did especially enjoy track 3). However, I think it's a little hard to follow - there are two submission links (I assume there were two composers), but for the first one you have to download a separate file to hear it reversed, and I don't think the reverse works all that well. That being said, I think tracks 2 and 3 do a good job of incorporating the palindromic theme, and despite that lacking in track 1, I do think track 1 creates a really nice sort of battle atmosphere.

I enjoyed the fast-moving piano part a lot! My main issue is that I would have liked to hear the piece reversed - as it stands it's on the listener to figure out how to reverse the audio to hear that side of it.

I figured this challenge would be heavy with chiptune music but I feel like there hasn't been a lot of it, so this was a nice listen! My only critique is that the highest voice got close to dog-whistle territory and I had to turn it down a little bit lol but otherwise this was great!

Love how it starts off sounding like 2001 Space Odyssey into sounding like a Mass Effect track. Great use of percussion and bass elements!

I loved the inclusion of the vocal elements! Definitely feels like a boss rush theme. Did you do the art yourself??

Absolute insane choice to play everything by hand. The electric guitar was my favorite. It's amazing how much you were able to do in such little time. Absolute props.

What a freaking bop. Felt like I was shooting asteroids in space. No notes.

If this isn't the most creative submission then I don't know what is. The energetic path was my favorite, ESPECIALLY with how hard the banjo (?) intro hits.

Really great fit for the inspiration, felt like I was there :) great orchestration overall

Oh also - did you make the art yourself? The art and tagline fit the music so well.

Loved the orchestration and I was definitely vibing hard once it started picking up at around a minute in.

I could never compare to crab canon!! But thank you! I think it's growing more and more apparent that my production skills need more work than my composition skills. I mentioned in another comment but you're totally right, listening back I need more overarching volume change throughout.

Thank you so much!! I'm glad that that came across well, I love using dissonance but I'm always afraid of overdoing it.

Thank you! Wanted to keep it to one instrument due to how little time I had lol.
