Description
Genre - Chiptune
Game- 2D Puzzle Platformer
Captain Nemo is a legendary inventor, living in Cavea, A city surrounded on all sides by colossal walls, said to be erected by the people of days long passed. Nemo's dream had always been to see beyond the walls, much to the displeasure of his fellow citizens, who upheld the sanctity of these walls, trusting in the ancient people's decision to build them in the first place. All alone, Captain Nemo sets sail on his great airship, aware that when he leaves these walls, he will likely never be allowed to return...
Valiant and Volant!- Captain Nemo sets sail! On his ship, the SS.Valiant, with the wind rushing through his hair, he almost forgets the people he left behind to discover what's beyond.
Hovering and Homesick- Captain Nemo Reminisces about his past, as he overlooks the moonlight-blanketed fields below in wonder. (Opening cutscene explaining the story)
All Aboard the Airship- The engines are roaring and the ship is ready to fly! To where? You decide!
High Spirits, Higher altitudes!- As Captain Nemo flies, he begins to encounter strange, bronze, flying automatons that are attacking his ship! fend them off!
Mile-High Magma- his curiosity getting the better of him, Captain Nemo flies in the direction of the Automatons to find their source and encounters what seems to be large, volcanic floating islands. The ship begins to shake- it seems one of the machines must have broken the engine- Nemo's ship lands gracefully on one of the nearby islands... He needs to repair his ship using the missing parts from the broken Automatons!
Death by Drigible- As Captain Nemo advances towards the source of the Automaton, he sees a bright figure emerging from a nearby thunderstorm. To his awe, a massive airship, orders of magnitude larger than his own approaches, it seems to be Attacking the SS.Valiant! As the opposing zeppelin approaches, ready to slam into the Captain Nemo's ship, he desperately jumps onto his foe's vehicle- He travels across the massive ship to the helm!
Dream-Dyed Aerodyne- After much platforming, Captain Nemo finally reaches the helm, to be greeted by a bright figure, that begins to attack him with sort of magic! (Boss fight)

Such great rhythm in all the tunes, really kept me engaged. I love that old school vibe, reminds me of the original Pokémon with a very unique touch. Awesome stuff!
Really cool chiptunes! Love all the intricate melodies. My favorite was High Magma. Great work!
Amazing chiptune soundtrack! This would absolutely fit into a 2d platformer game, great job!
Really enjoying this. Super cool sound font and you’re using it well!
This is wonderful, I love your composition style and the way all the different lines interweave and how the tracks progress. There's so much energy in each track and they all fit their settings so well.
I loved listening to this, it's a fantastic set of tracks.
Here are some of my thoughts on each of your tracks:
Valiant and Volant!- Very upbeat, it has that energy of setting out into an adventure
Hovering and Homesick- Cool dreamy vibes.
All Aboard the Airship- You really captured the level selection menu with this one, It makes me want to select something right away!
High Spirits, Higher altitudes!- High octane battle theme in the sky, very cool!
Mile-High Magma- Holy s**t! the melodies in this one are really catchy!
Death by Drigible- This has that "if you don't hurry you will die" feeling , I would feel very anxious playing this part of the game so good job? xD
Dream-Dyed Aerodyne- This one has a very dramatic atmosphere and also a magical and ethereal aura proper for a magical Boss.
Mission Clear! - Oh yeah, Party Time!
I loved your entire soundtrack, and the way you described everything made it so much real to me, very well done!
I was wondering where all my chiptune folks were at! Loved Death by Dirigible!
I love the chiptune feeling of your tracks, and with each of them we can really feel the game, it's beginning, it's adventures. The melodies are great, I love the level 2, its really bouncy. We can really feel the homesickness in your soundtrack, and its really hard to define, so congratulations.
