Thank you for the individual feedback! Yeah it's meant to be an area theme for the temple, I pictured all the elements coming in as they travelled further in. I wanted to have one more track between Two Wings and Omen related to a crash landing but ran out of time sadly :(

Not at my computer right now, can't remember exactly which synth, but that one was a synth preset that I made some slight edits to (as well as manipulating note lengths.) Thank you so much! 

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

lightning bugs: this is really cool sound design, loving the textures. fits the name too. Really like the subtlety of the percussion.

beneath the canopy: this is very cool. The drums give me a sort of trance feel. Love how the textures evolve. Love how the drums switch up around 1:45.

poor customer service: I love the track names lol. The progression is pretty cool. Love the wind sfx. 

deep dark: More trance feel. Love the synth choice for the lead. 

zugunruhe: Cool chords. That chip melody is so so cool. 

parasite: oh, I love these type of chord changes where you move between unrelated minor chords. Gives a nice jungle feel. Love the stutter effect. 

ancient rays: very dark sound and some nice gritty textures. Love the lead choices. 

Really nice dark electronic feel overall. Loved this! 

Intro & Main Menu: Pretty piano work. Love these chord choices.

Forgotten Seeds: Really cool Phrygian harmony. Love how it gradually swells into the big ending.

The Twisted Man: This feels like a villain theme and I really like the chord choices. That percussion is really cool!

The Voyage: Right off the bat sounds like the wide open sea. The composition here is especially strong.

Whispers: Love this more emotional piano. I love how the ending "hangs".

Finale & Credits: You really get the dynamics so well here.  Takes us through a range of moods.

Your composition is very strong. Great work!

Songkeepers: Some upbeat percussion to start. Nice and sweet melodies, as well as a cool ending.

Abel's Theme: Loved the use of pan flute. Really gives the vibe of an early game character theme.

Valor's Theme: Getting a bit darker. Love the harp arps. My favorite track here!

Sir Billsworth the IV: Starts off feeling silly (matching the character) but with a deeper side showing when the strings come in. Nice work.

That'll Cost Ya: Apt name, love these chord choices. Strong shop theme vibes.

The Mad Ratters: This gives me a cartoon villain vibe which matches the story you've written. Very well composed.

Nice work!

The Forgotten World: This is some authentic GB goodness. You really know how to squeeze a lot out of 4 channels.

Our Peaceful Home: Some of the secondary dominant movements really give me a nostalgic hometown feeling. Reminds me of some of my favorite GB games (like Survival Kids).

Celestial Connection: I like that you don't necessarily use all channels, two lends to a nice minimal atmosphere that I'm sure you were going for.

Cozy Town: I definitely feel Pokemon inspiration here. Very strong composition!

The Ancient Token: Short and sweet. I really like the progression. I was expecting a resolution but we get that mysterious ending (which lines up with the "what could it mean?" from your itch page description.)

Impeccable chiptune. Great work!

A World of Old: Elements interweave nicely here. Very well composed, a lot of elements but nothing clashes. Nice grand opening theme.

Human Township:  Nice Dorian feel, loved the harp glissando. Always partial to some good pan flute.

Moment of Respite: Very calm and cheerful. I could see this fitting in a game so naturally. Rhythm is infectious.

The Bells Of Battle: Ooh this is good, got goosebumps. Reminds me of some SNES battle themes. Very very nice!

Take Stock: Always a fan of more minimalist shop themes like this. Really good work with the percussion.

As A Bell Tolls: Epic sound and really has the feel of "penultimate". Nice organs.

The Citadel Beckons: I like how this retains organ movements like the previous track. Such a cool conclusive track.

A World Renewed: A happy feel again! Some really cool chord movements here. Love the overall Mixolydian sound. Nice and cheery credits theme.

You have really strong skill with percussion and composing fun memorable melodies. Nice work!

I always love your detailed feedback! Yep the first track was mainly where I was influenced by Kirby, and honestly in retrospect I do wish I had made the flute more upfront in the third track lol. Thank you so much! 

I'm glad it hooked you so well!

Thank you! I remember yours from last jam as well, and looking forward to listening to yours in a few hours! 

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Yeah time held me back from developing that one further :( going to get to your submission in a couple hours!

Thank you! Good work rating every single submission as usual, and imma get to yours in a couple hours!

The use of augmented chords is simultaneously beautiful and haunting. Great quality here, and the pads are so serene. Really paints a unique atmosphere, makes me think of either a spacey environment or a mysterious cave.  Great work.

A Village Far Away: The rhythm here is addictive, I like how it feels like it's going "back and forth".

A Song of Adventure: The soaring melody really gives an adventure vibe. 

A Moment to Gaze: So calm and pretty: The melody is very moving (ik it's not a character theme but it gives me that vibe), amazing work here. 

In Ancient Ruins: I also have a darker ancient ruin style track in my entry, yours without a doubt is better though lol. This is my favorite track here! Dark yet emotional melody. Love the unique chord movements later on.

A Legendary Song: Ooh the articulations in the woodwind! So expressive. Nice percussion.

A Rowdy Evening: Love this sweet outro. Hearing some use of minor iv in a major context which always gives me credits themes vibes. 

Great work!

The Long Trek: Love this minimalist intro. Gives the vibe of a long and desolate trek after all.

Our Home: Love the use of Dorian over the ethnic instrumentation. So nice! The erhu is so beautiful. Those vocals seal the deal! This is an amazing track. The track keeps evolving and seems to have it all.

Amazing work! 

This is crazy for 6 hours. The piano is so pretty. The vocals are so so good! Absolutely magical. Before I even read your description I was thinking "credits theme" so you nailed the feel! Great work with the panning, nice percussion too.

Main Menu: Gorgeous composition. Nice percussion.

Welcome to the Band: I like the feel of the bass a lot. Such a jolly tune!

Three Abreast: Time sig really contributes to the riding feel. So does the almost galloping melody!

The Tavern: Complex time sig here is cool! Love the violin work, and the crowd sfx is a nice touch.

Wedding Of The Forest Elves: Man I would enjoy making a battle theme inspired off that intro section, it sounds so cool. Love the Phrygian Dominant use especially combined with that time sig. Definitely my favorite track here.

The Dwarven Mining Town: Love the Mixolydian use as well as the I-iv. This is such a cool track. Somehow reminds me of Super Mario RPG. Nice percussion.

Court of the Kanum: More Phrygian Dominant! Love it. Melody is so nice especially when the countermelody comes in. 

So good! I really like the idea of playing along. Great work!

Strange Birds:  Love these arps and the little flourishes. And suddenly it gets haunting! Bright section manages to peek back through the dark again.  Love the I-bIII movement used here a lot.

Strange Mead: ...what did you do to my drink? Wow this composition is so elegant and soaring. Chord choices are so nice, love the mode mixture. 

The way you write melodies is so expressive. Great work!

Canticum: These vocals are so nice! Love the little Dorian touches after 0:30. 

Who Were They: Love the chord outlining in the intro. The composition here is so pretty, I like how you give ample time for the track to breathe. The winds sounds so expressive.

Arrival to Vockslip: Love the tempo increase, and right into that twinkling section. Such a good atmosphere especially with those vocals.

A Whispering Past: That descending arpeggio is too sweet, and wow, all these little elements right after it are like ear candy. 

The Lamb and Hammer: I love how the intro is so major and then it surprisingly goes fully into Dorian. Such a nice switch. The melodies interweave so nicely. I love the bassline a lot.

The Inn: This is so inn-theme coded (duh). Choirs are so sweet and that soft, soft piano. 

Excellent work as always!

Raindove, Founder in the Misty Sea of Trees: Very nice percussion. Love the progression and the small touch of Dorian. 

Emberhen, Leader of the Volcanic Capital, Origin City: This percussion makes me think of a volcano. Spot on! That melody is so so good! Great orchestration. And then the switch around 3:41! So good. Reminds me of some Zelda tracks. Excellent. One of my favorites of the whole jam.

Skylark, Guardian of the Oasis in the Sky Mountains: Great percussive elements. The key change was so smooth, and love the darker chords from then on. The transitions between sections are excellently done. I really liked the unique resolution at the end, cool descending progression and not using the more common resolution movements.

The track titling and overall sound reminds me of Octopath. Amazing work as always!

Great mix of textures, great panning work. The percussive sounds are really cool. I definitely get a sort of Chrono Trigger vibe in some of the instrumentation/arps. Again, can't understate how good your sound work is here, very immersive.

Nice work!

Beginning of an adventure: Those winds are so expressive. Love the gradual energy increase here and then the fade into a soft ending. 

Fight Together: The elements interweave nicely here. They're all doing their own thing but still sit together nicely without any clashing. Very nice composition. Love your instrumentation.

Great work!

Ahh I don't know how I missed the b7. I love Lydian Dominant

Thank you so much! I'm glad the mix sounded solid on the 2nd track. I definitely have some Pokémon influence so I'm glad that shows! 

Thank you so much! Haha I didn't have time to do much effect work on track 5, noted to remember more compression on the drums next time! 

Oui, yes, muy bien

Thank you so much! Yeah pretty much every aspect of this ost got hit by time crunch in one way or the other (wanted more tracks to fill out the story) but I'm still really proud of the result. I'm glad you liked it so much!

Thank you! I'll give yours a look soon! 

Thank you for the detailed feedback! The texture was a preset in one of my synths (pretty sure DX7 but I'll have to check when I get to my computer. I was just trying to fill the atmosphere with that panning but I didn't notice it sounded unbalanced. Yeah those sounds were meant to sound like old/broken machinery noises (broken wings and the tech in the temple) 

CATASTROPHE: wow. This sounds crazy. Love the sound design. 

CIRCUMSTELLAR: some really solid edm. I really like that bass.

CONVALESCENCE: the chord hits are so good. And wow that lead was so sweet and expressive.

CONTAMINATION: this is my favorite. I love the glitchy sound. The glitchy vocals in particular are a highlight.

CONSOLATION: some really cool touches here like the tambourine. That string melody is so sweet.

CHARLOTTE: This is epic. I love the way you work the instruments into an EDM style. 

COMMEMORATION: I like this piano tone a lot. The use of the major tonic chord (or V/ii depending how you look at it lol) was very pleasant. 

Amazing work! 

That harp is so soft I love it. Sits so nice with the choir. Definitely do get a cloudlike vibe from this with the instrumentation. Pretty composition! Nice work.

Groovy. First track was my favorite, really liked the chords, love a good organ, and that bloopy bass too lol. Something about that clap I really like too. Nice work!

Where am I: This has strong exploratory vibes with that rhythm in the piano.

SOULSEETHER: Wow I wasn't expecting this. I love this! Where that chip lead came in really caught my ear. Real banger.

Exotic Warfare: OK this is cool right from the start. Part after 0:48 is my favorite part of this OST. Nice high energy way to round out the OST. I really like your drums.

Nice work!

Thank you! I checked out the OST and even from the track "Void" I can see what you mean. Honored to have a track in your playlist!

A Fall From Grace, Fury: Nice time sig. Towards the middle, I like how you use Lydian over the IV, it makes me simultaneously get a Dorian and Lydian feel (from the i-IV and then the use of Lydian over the IV.) That's how I hear it anyways.

Cold as the Sun: This is my favorite type of overworld theme. Very strong instrumentation.

Salvation, Frenetic Choro: I can really feel the romance feel here. Very well composed, the percussion is so well done. 

Steady as a Gun: Romance isn't complete without the vocals lol. Nice reprise. Very slick bass.

Apotheosis: These chord changes tho. That percussion came in so nicely. And then so epic by the end! Nice vocals.

Amazing work. This is really convincing and I could hear it in a game easily.

Thank you!

Some highlights:

Conspiracy was a highlight with the unique chord choices. Really fits the name too. 

Expect the UN Expect was another favorite. It gets so damn cool after 1:15.

Magic Squabble is a really nice battle theme. Really nice rhythm and cool chord choices. 

Spectacle of Unseen Wonders has such a nasty time sig. I love it so much. 

Really loved the time sig play in this ost. I was getting Final Fantasy battle theme vibes from the higher energy tracks. Nice work!
