Description
I imagine 'Don Duckworth in Solstice Showdown!' as a side scrolling adventure, similar to Ristar or Rayman. The genre of the soundtrack is hip-hop and it was composed in FL Studio.
Theme:
Story of Seasons
How does it fit the theme?
Don Duckworth's entire world is subjected to random season changes and can only experience one season at a time. Each track represents one of the four seasons his world my be affected by.

love the soundtrack! it was a vibe all around
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed the music 😁
The drum rhythm of the first track is known here in Brazil as "Funk carioca" from the 90s, inspired by miami bass and freestyle. For me it was very interesting to hear this musical style in a game context, as in my cultural context it is a rhythm more used in dances, mainly in the suburbs. The result was amazing!
"Pond Springs" and "Cyber Summer" reminded me a lot of Flying Lotus' work in Yasuke.
I really liked the tone and texture choices and the mix of elements integrated into Hip-Hop. Very cool result!
Thanks for your feedback Phelippe! You get it. I was worried folks might not appreciate the hip-hop element. I personally think hip-hop is underrated in its effectiveness on songs with bigger, epic sounds. I looked into Funk carioca (because you put me on to it 😝) and I see what you mean. I wonder how I tapped into that genre without knowing of it...
Being compared to Flying Lotus is quite flattering to me 😄 Thanks again for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the music
Cool take on the theme! I can really imagine these being in a game
Thanks Twitchy! If you can imagine it, I've met my goal 😝
These beats got me moving, nicely done! You really nailed the game feel too, I got the gameplay playing in my head pretty easily. You sample choices are great and change things up nicely, but the only thing I'd want for these tracks is having even more samples and layering; that said the time crunch was tough and you pulled off some great sounds!
I agree with everything you said here Lucky. I'm growing as a composer everyday so I hope to have more complex and layered songs in the future. Glad to hear the music got you moving! 😝 Thanks for your feedback.
Nicely done, parts of Autumn really visualized the game for me.
Thanks Slo Nod! If the tracks painted a picture, I've done my job!
It's kinda weird that this game is about the four seasons but there's no track for winter. That being said, what you do have is well put together.
Yeah that's facts lol I planned to include a winter track but I ran out of time. Thanks for your feedback :) I hope you enjoyed the music
