Composition: Very Cheap Prices
Description: My favourite soundtrack from Earthbound is "Battle Against a Weird Opponent." So I thought, why not create a shop tune for the weird opponents (if one day they decide to open a shop)? Using the style of "Battle Against a Weird Opponent" and the tempo of "Buy Something Will Ya!", I came up with this soundtrack!
More details of I used from "Battle Against a Weird Opponent":
- chords for melody
- swing rhythm
- A B Pattern
- Bass Pattern
- Some funky sounds with panning

Just leaving a comment here because I can't find you on the discord server,
As a top 3 of the jam you can suggest a game to add to the list.
It seems like there is no DM on itch io, the most convenient way to do it is through discord, if you wish.

Nice tune ! I enjoy the shaddy groove, fits well with your idea and the theme. Very good idea to add mumbling voices in the background, suprised me at first but this is nice ! Good job !
solid solid groove, mean mean swing!! this is a really catchy reimagining of the earthbound shop theme w.o departing too far from the things that make earthbound sound like earthbound. the voices in the background was a nice touch in the texture and gave everything a noticeable sense of linearity without breaking up the feeling of it being a loop too! excellent work :>>
I like the creative way you've combined two themes.
The interplay between the keys and bass is interesting.
Very evocative track. I feel like I've entered the back room of a weird shop.
I love the mood of it, even if its a bit uncanny, I think it could still work for a standard city mall. You did a super good job of putting just the right amount of dissonances, sporadic intervantions of the different section, groovy drums and bassline. To me it could reach perfect status by having an additional part somewhere in the middle to add contrast, maybe something that break the drum pattern.
Thanks for the suggestion! One thing I was not so sure of was the tempo. But it didn't sound too great when it was faster, haha
wow i like the chord progressions and the bass line! i think the murmuring voices really pull it into earthboundiness. perfect tune for a weirdo shop
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Nice funky tune with a chill vibe, though a little quiet (had to crank up the volume on my end). I enjoyed this one.
Thank you! I was thinking that it was also a little on the quiet side 😂
