Description
This soundtrack is for a hypothetical platformer game where you have to get through the level as fast as possible, so the music is all at 200 BPM. Each track represents a different level theme except the last two which would be when your time is up and a retry menu respectively. All songs were made in Logic with additional Vocaloid sounds on track 3.

Theme:

Tick Tock...
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
This game is based around time and beating the clock, I didn't want to include literal clock ticking sounds because it seemed too cliche but I definitely wanted to give the impression that time is running out.

Definitely fitting for a time based game, there were some really fun tracks! I loved the short Speed up/Game over! Very well executed :) 

Submitted

Hah, that's some fast paced music! :D It has a lot of character, even at the high speed all the tracks are coherent, not mushy, which is awesome. Retro sounds with modern quality production. Really nice! :)

I love the Speed Up! / Game Over! Track...

Absolutely wonderful work! The tracks jive together to form a cohesive whole while each bringing their own unique flavour. You've done a great job of conveying a sense of the time pressure, too.  Also loved that you included a "game over" and "try again" track - I can totally imagine this being a fully fledged game! Catchy, high quality stuff. "Pop Concert" was my personal favourite for the sound choices you made. :)

This is strong OST work - everything connects, fully thematic, interesting and varied while delivering unrelenting catchy themes. I wanted every single track I got, and then we started getting into the more exotic rhythm/tempo stuff and I loved it even more. I wish more games had soundtracks like this.

DELICIOUS DRUMS!!! GIMME THE BREAKS!!!! MEHMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOODDODODDDDD!!!!

On a more serious note, extremely creatively produced. Loved "Speed Up!/Game Over!" so much, my salt would've disappeared despite losing in a game if I heard that. "Pop Concert" was a legit mood...like...if Taylor Swift was actually good or something idk.

Just WOW!!!!🤩 Probably the best thing I've heard here!!!! Exactly the kind of music I like. This is what I want to hear in today's games!

Excellent work!!!

IMO one of the best out there. D&B HELL YE!!! It's also very catchy and memorable for it's uniqueness. If you care, my Fav track is Pop Concert

I really how you use percussion!  It gives the tracks a very hectic, speedrunner feel, which is what you were going for :)  The vocaloids on Pop Concert are a super cool touch that really adds some extra flair to the track.  Hall of Polyrhythms is super cool compositionally wise!  It keeps things hectic and fast paced, without getting too cluttered.  Great job!
