Description
This soundtrack is electronic, to be played behind a platformer. Each track represents a shift in the speed and tone of the game; in one level, a downward spiral with a heavy gravity factor, in the next, an all-out sprint forward with a new energy behind you pushing you forward.
In order:
1. I Wish It'd Be Me - a wishful soliloquy
2. It Must Not Be/Why Can't It Be - a lament followed by a hope
3. Go After It! - a new feeling of energy driving you towards your goal
4. A Wish Upon a Shooting Star - a warmth knowing your wish has come true
I used Studio One 5 Artist!
(EDIT: I didn't realize this would be the main description, so I had a more full one in the downloaded folder. The link to a google doc with that description is here:

Thanks for listening!)
Message from the artist:
I hope you enjoy the journey this soundtrack travels through!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The main goal of the game I imagined was for the player to want to be given life by one of the life-giving asteroids or comets, but isn't in the right place. I also used the motif of a comet or "shooting star" a few times with the whole "wish upon a shooting star" idea.

Tracks 2 & 3 surprised me, especially track 3. They went along with chord progressions and melodies that are right up my alley. I liked them quite a lot.
Nice work. The different paces for different stages. The connection betwwen themes, Well done!
I love the parts were the piano is main focus and also how each track develops over the last. Great job!
Dang each piece hits you with something different! Went from melancholy to longing and to a bug surge of rushing adrenaline. Awesome work!
Might be my favorite I've listened to so far, nice!
Excellent composition! Very emotive!
Chill and melancholic, with a nice powerful interlude. Nice one!
Nice work - some parts made me think of the Celeste OST. I liked the concept behind the soundtrack too!
One of my fav submissions! And you also used Studio One so +1 point :)))
Nice work! I especially like the contrast in energy between tracks.
