Description
You are escaping a fleet of navy ships that is chasing you through land and sea.

The game is about frantic sea hot pursuits in a racing style alternated with RPG sequences where you have opportunities to upgrade your ship
and learn about your story, the story of two brothers that were raised by pirates and were separated.

SetList :

- Set Sail :
The hot pursuit theme for when you're zooming about on the open seas
- The Market :
DownTown theme for when you're restocking and upgrading in a sunny port town
- Victory/Game over themes
- Drifting away :
For a cutscene of the two brothers separation, and other dramatic/serious moments

Theme:

Runaway

How does it fit the theme?
Its a game where you run away from ships and people chasing you, I went the litteral route with the theme ^^

Fits the theme very well. Good work!

Makes me think of DS era RPGs as well as Phantom Hourglass. Love the victory theme, it uses a standard victory theme progression but feels very fresh and in line with the sailing theme. Favorite overall is Set Sail.

Very creative take on the theme! I love that rhythm in the Market theme. Very quirky. Neat victory theme, too. very motivating! Great effect with the ritardando in Drifting Away. This soundtrack is very unique among the submissions here. Thanks for sharing!

Set Sail! - Sounds great! It does indeed sound like we're embarking on a journey. It's full of adventure and optimism.

The Market - Oh this is neat. I quite like how this sounds. I can just imagine a market with NPCs scurrying about to this theme. I think the marimbas give it a very busy vibe. Like people are doing work everywhere. I also like the little choir accents. Very cool.

Game Over / Victory - I really like that you included both a victory and game over theme. It makes it feel like a very complete soundtrack.

Drifting Away - Nice. I like how the theme is slowing down and pitching down over time. It really conveys that feeling of drifting away.

Amazing work!

Hi! "The Market" is so sweet. Very compatible with your theme. You have 3 different musics. I like the last one where speed drops.

I love the DS sounding stuff. It really feels like you just ripped some music from a DS game from like 2004! The Sound design is fantastic, and the Compositions really feel like a Zelda inspired soundtrack. If I didn't know, I would have thought it was lost songs from the olden days. Fantastic job!

This brings back memories of playing games like The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I love this style!

Nice theme interpretation, the first track really makes you feel chased in the sea and the market song is lovely!
