Description
The Comet's Passenger is about an alien on a crashing comet. Scientists want to study it, the government wants to destroy it, and Hazel can only imagine how scared and alone it must feel.
The game is a fast-paced platformer, where you race to get Hazel to the comet's crash site to give the alien some small comfort.
The soundtrack was made in Ableton Live 10, performed live on a handful of Roland synth plugins.
The first two tracks are parts of the intro cutscene, where Hazel decides to chase after the comet.
Next is the Scientists' Theme, which would play in areas where they're present.
The final track is the ending theme, a freeform piano piece that calls back to Hazel's piece of the intro.
Message from the artist:
Help Hazel race to the falling comet to save a small alien!

Your whole concept is very endearing and the soundtrack is high quality and suitable to games. I loved "Resolve" - jazzy little piece that, if I hadn't already gotten the Earthbound vibe, would have sold it for me. Great job!
All the tracks are different from each other and decently varied within themselves. My favourite track is the last because of the way it speeds up and slows down. It makes it more organic sounding and fits the "small comfort" vibe I assume its going for. good stuff.
This fits the theme well and I could see in a video game
Tracks were great, maybe the whole soundtrack just lucks a bit of cohesion. Great job anyway!
Catchy and happy themes!
The melodies felt very catchy and the overall soundtrack sounded very pro to me, nicely mixed. Great work!
We can easily imagine the game with this soundtrack ! Bravo ! Really enjoyed the first one, Little one on the comet :)
This reminds me so much of The Little Prince. What a fabulously great set of tracks! The melodies are great. Little One on the Comet is my favorite track.
The harmony is so unpredictable (in a good way)! I also love the energy and the way you carry it through the tracks.
Nice work! I like your take on the theme, and I especially like the sounds used in the scientists' theme.
