liking the noir sort of approach to the soundtrack - not what i'd expect for a game in which you play as an attorney but it works quite well.  the 80s saws, bells, and linn drums all over this soundtrack are really cool.  well done!

happy to hear the mixing sounded good to you, that was the part that i feel i may have cut corners on the most in developing this so quick.  thank you!

thank you! hoping for a good result myself too lol but there are plenty of submissions out there deserving of the win

ty! happy to hear the boss themes conveyed personality in that way to you, definitely part of my hope lol

ty!!

ty, the hardstyle one was a lot of fun to make!

happy to hear you liked the dnb and the drumwork so much!  definitely the dnb was the toughest for me to nail so it's good so many people seem to enjoy that one

tysm!

haha appreciate it!  i'm not super established as a game composer yet but i have done work for at least one pretty cool title and i'm active in vgm remixing circles.

thank you! i love using leitmotifs lol

tysm, i love these observations... you clocked my intention with vitalize, to keep you on your toes a bit; and the call and response in vulcan is probably my favorite part in that track lol

ty! yeah i always strive for my work to be more on the melodic side, but i did stray away from it a bit with the riddim track haha

honored by that comparison lol, ty!

love the variety of sounds here!  the latter two tracks in particular are so dynamic and have really interesting bass design and synthwork, it's really blood pumping and absolutely fitting for a parkour kind of setting.  really really great!

very pretty composition, feels like the ending to a great story.  the instrumentation is moving and powerful and tinged ever so slightly with sadness, which is just scrumptious.  lovely work on this!

this soundtrack is really effective in telling your story, and the use of sound effects does a great deal in bringing you into this character's mind.  i love how one track can be simple to the point of almost being bland, and then another track is just sort of chaotic and unorganized.  these would be issues i'd criticize in other submissions but here it's clearly a choice with intention behind it.  good stuff!

always a pleasant surprise for these submissions to include a vocal track! i love the earnest arrangement of the guitars and drums. and it's cool you included how this might present in-game, that's a great inclusion!  good work.

this is a really fun ost, there's an interesting contrast of serious sections and lively, irreverent tracks.  i think my favorite was the courtyard with how bouncy it is and the use of sfx in it.  great work!

swam trumpet my beloved

love the carefree sounds on this, the melodies are just soaring and addictive.  jazz is a weak spot for me so i'm always really impressed when people pull it off with such seeming ease.  i feel like in a cafe or bakery listening to this, this is really good

each track embodies such a different tone - the first, militant and ready to march forward; the second, a frenetic banger befitting a battle; the third, a triumphant victory.  they all feel sonically cohesive too, good work!

i love the goofy instrumentation and the sort of trippy drum rhythms.  there's just all sorts of interesting sounds on this soundtrack and it's super impressive that you pulled off something with this degree of ambition in 2 days!

the intensity of this track combined with religious-sounding instruments does a great job of conveying the core concept of the game.  good work!

i love the folkiness of the instrumentation that gets underscored by unsettling synths and basses, that makes for a really cool combination.  this is a really effective concept that you executed on equally well, great work!

you're always doing some very uniquely dark ambient/industrial sounding stuff with your submissions.  this in particular really reminds me of a rotting prison cell, so you definitely did your job as far as building a world goes.

very cool approach to the theme, and it's great that you were able to do a quality live recording with such little time!  this is definitely a standout amongst the submissions, good work!

i love the quirky instrumentation and melodies, it feels like one of those hit indie postmodern rpgs with a touch of warioware.  i remember really loving you guys' entry from comp jam 7 and i'm glad to see you brought a lot of that funky energy back for this submission.  really good work!

really like this, very fitting for a puzzle game! though admittedly it doesn't really fit that theme haha

besides that, i love the whimsy of the soundfonts you worked with, especially the soundfont rock track! and it's really funny that you even had a logo jingle as part of the soundtrack, maybe i should have that on my next submission... great work on this!

the retro vibes are amazing!  the compositions are really fun and funky, and it properly feels like a video game soundtrack.  they feel very carefully thought out and build the world out very well.  great work!

love the orchestral bits, the spiccato strings give a sense of urgency as if chasing freedom.  the switch up to the organ and keys in the middle made for a pleasant detour that felt emotionally resonant.  really pretty overall!

very interesting soundscapes.  definitely picks up for me on scentofthesun with those drum machine sounding percs, the break, and the idm-inspired patterning and distortion, that one's a real highlight for me.

really gorgeous, the tranquil instrumentation is almost hypnotic.  i especially love the use of the sine wave, i personally just really love the innocent sort of sound of sine waves in music.

oh i love this.  the instrumentation evokes digital fusion flavors for me a bit, the optimistic tone makes this such a joy to listen to, and i especially like the 7/8 time signature in the first track.  this is really exceptional work!

the pads on the first track are nice, though echoing everyone else's sentiments it's pretty overboard with the reverb.

i actually think fighting for freedom is pretty cool!  i like when music gets that abrasive.  definitely a bit more of an acquired taste, but i think there are merits to it.

i love how chill and almost tropical it feels, i think of a pleasant vacation listening to this.  great work!

i like the intrigue of this soundtrack! it sounds very whimsical while also being mysterious at the same time.  this absolutely works in the context of a puzzle game, and i like that take on the theme.  

can't believe i scored the hit indie game VVVVVVV holy

appreciate the kind words, to your point of theming i do wish i had a track in there that sort of tied the freedom theme into the soundtrack a bit more clearly, maybe with something a bit more uplifting as a credits track.  just didn't have time sadly, but i think what i managed does do the job.

and yeah, honestly the music i made isn't even my favorite style of music LOL i just wanted to challenge myself.  happy you still appreciate the work that went into it!

tysm! i was really rushing towards the end and i was worried it'd show in the music.  doesn't seem to be too much the case!

ty!

thank you carrot!! i've already told you in dms but this idea was very much inspired by the work you did on the steam-powered melody machine and it doesn't exist without that.

and ty for the banger art!
