It feels really ironic that ‘correlation to theme’ got the highest ranking here, since I didn’t even make a track where the protagonists are actually ‘running away.’ Nevertheless, thank you everyone for rating this. I had a blast doing this jam and I hope to do it again when the next one comes around! :D

Description
Music genre: Orchestral/Electronic.
Game genre: Platformer.
DAW: Cakewalk by Bandlab.
"Title" would be used for the title screen, "Dark Flame" would be used for introducing the Dark Flame, who is the antagonist (and reused for the final boss battle since I wanted to keep the soundtrack simple and short), "The Forest", "Robo City" and "Mount Slush" would be used for the respective in-game areas, and "Challenge" would be for bonus levels.
Message from the artist:
(If I just like your comment instead of replying, I'm not trying to be rude or dismiss it; I genuinely appreciate the comments :) I just press 'like' when I don't have anything to reply with) These are my first songs to be shared on Itch, and the first ones I've shared publicly that were made in Cakewalk.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The protagonists, Phospho and Lumi, run away from home when it becomes overtaken by the Dark Flame. I intended to make a "Leaving Home" track, but that didn't work out because a sad song would've been too different from the mostly-quirky soundtrack.
