I really liked the short-and-sweet approach to your story! I've always had a fascination for micro-stories like these where you just interact with a few details in the environment and you either get more lore or hear your character's thoughts. While I did wish it offered more, I still felt like it sold its sentimental undertones well. I definitely encourage you to write fuller stories in a similar vein. Thank you for making this.
Hi, everyone! I am a Composer specialized in Ambient and Atmospheric music. I have contributed to various game soundtracks, including surreal exploration games like Yume 2kki. :) As a fan of dreamy interactive experiences like LSD Dream Emulator and Hypnagogia, I could not say no to this jam!

This sounds to me like it was written to be heard with environmental sounds, surrounded by nature. The sound of the wind sweeping through the fields and tree branches, birds chirping across the pond, gentle water streams... This soundtrack conjures this type of peaceful tranquility in my mind. Easily one of my favorite entries so far.
As soon as I heard the opening track, I thought I was in for something special. "The Endless Marching of Time" is incredible. Catchy, hopeful, frantic. It wouldn't sound out of place in an indie game like Deltarune. This pervading sense of overcoming hardship is conveyed perfectly through the music, which is crucial in a tower climbing game—you need the music to drive you forward through the hurdles, aiming higher and higher. Well done.
I love this. Presentation is great, the writing complements your audio pretty well, and the chiptunes are easily the star of this game that I really want to play right now! Thanks for including a press start / confirm sound effect right at the start of the soundtrack. It is such a simple and effective way to immerse me in your world, I couldn't not mention it.
Easily one of the most cohesive works I've heard thus far. I love how you left the storytelling to the visuals and the music. I feel less constricted when I don't have to read through entire paragraphs of lore, and I can instead just sit and enjoy the audio straight out of the box. Musically, I have no complaints. It feels and breathes like a lifetime adventure. The fact that all of this was assembled in 9 days makes it really special to me.
Been meaning to set some time aside, no pun intended, to hear this. Synthwave! Let's gooo. It definitely gives me an 80's retro-futuristic vibe, and it wouldn't sound out of place in an action sci-fi movie from that era. I like your approach to conveying a sense of impending doom through repetition and downtempo synth-laden grooves.
If I had to share some feedback from a compositional standpoint, I would say that each musical idea tends to exhaust fairly quickly. I suggest layering more theme variations or adding more synth layers on top to keep me hooked a bit more. Nice job, overall!
Love the aggressive flute runs in the opening track! This was unexpectedly grand and packed with drama. I enjoyed reading your story along to the soundtrack. If I had to share a nitpick, I would say that the production could use a bit more brightness and 'punch' to the high-end, as it seems that the percussion, for instance, doesn't particularly stand out compared to the rest of the orchestra. Other than that, nice work!
