Love the chord choices. Great atmosphere. Nice choice with the percussion later in. And then the piano! This fits the theme perfectly with the underwater feel.

Thanks!!

Love the ambiance. Gave me slight Minecraft vibes particularly when it goes into more ambient songs. Very solid submission!

Thanks!!

This is a great ambient piece - perfectly captures that underwater feeling, like being on the verge of passing out. Everything blurred beyond recognition, thick droning soundscapes swallowing us whole. I like how the mid-way point has the arrangement fall more into a typical composition style; a definitive progression and forward motion. Reminds me of that supposed blissful state right before losing consciousness, floating.

Given the name I was actually waiting for some proper breakbeats to come in! I think as a whole the piece works really well as is, but I'd love to see a VIP/remix featuring some more DnB elements. Great work with this as is, super solid ambient piece that nailed the vibe you were going for. :)

I love the commitment to a simple thought. Super ambient and you really captured the underwater feeling perfectly.

Great job!

Very ambient sounding, Sometimes I think the pads are a little overwhelming in the mix, but it also gives me the feeling of being submerged, unable to really hear much of the fine details- save for the occasional underwater clicks and melodies of distant creatures. You fit the theme very well. Some times the melodies feel a little off kilter, too- which is likely intentional, but sometimes sounds just a little strange. I love the dissonance in the track, especially near the end, you really sell the ambient nature of the ocean!!! Great great job :))

Definitely would make great background music. Love the lead piano melody!

This feel very underwater and fitting with the image.

Really love that bubble lead synth you open with but all the following bits of percussion and instruments are great too.

Developer

Thanks!

I liked the bells you used they sounded very dreary while still being bright if that makes sense? and I liked that.

Developer

Thanks!

Awesome song, love the peaceful/mystery vibes it gives.

Developer

Thanks!!

Really like this piece! I also love how the deeper sounds are played at a lower volume (piano, metal mallet instruments), so feels like mysterious things are happening at different distances. All the sounds really add to the vibe, and there's a great amount of variation here. Awesome job!

Thank you very much, appreciate it!!

I liked this song, it felt very relaxing and aquatic. with the soothing pad. It would be better if there were more tracks, good work!

You really nailed the underwater vibe with this piece. It's floaty, it's relaxing, it's mysterious, and overall fantastic. Really great work!

Lovely track! Great job capturing the ambience of an underwater scene, the lowpass really added to the effect and made everything sound nice and thick I’m a really calming way.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!!

Quite atmospheric, can definitely imagine it in a video game level. Some of the orchestration and especially the delays evoke a Donkey Kong Country-esque vibe! 

Towards the end, a few samples felt off (either no effects added or too many pressed at the same time).

Good job overall! (Funny sidenote, was expecting a DnB track because of your username 😅)

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Sounds really good, would definitely fit an underwater location or an underwater themed game, but I think you should have added more variation to the melodies and chord progressions throughout the track. Also I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the notes in the "Drops 2" are sometimes really off grid. While moving notes slightly off grid can make the melody sound more human if it's too much off grid it can sound as if the melody isn't timed correctly or isn't playing in right rythm if you know what I mean. But still I liked this track, I definitely see this as something that could be in an actual indie game

Developer

Thanks for the criticism, it definitely helps me!!

Very atmospheric you indeed followed the picture theme we feel underwater. Like someone said its very muddy in the mix when you start adding pads and play some notes around the same frequency range this is what happens. I think you can also mix up the high notes you play as a melody, sometimes the rythms is not quite there and it doesn't change that match you can try creating different patterns, make it move a little bit more will help alot !

Developer

Thanks for the review and criticism, it's really helpful!!

Beautifully atmospheric! It feels so mysterious & magical while also being comforting & relaxing :3

My brain goes to random places whenever I listen to music, and with this, I feel like it would be a perfect fit for an underwater level in something like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles :D

Thank you very much, appreciate it!!

Nailed the underwater sound. The chords in particular sound a little muddy, but I think that at times it actually works. Having the muddy foundation of the chords with the other instruments sounding clear and cutting through everything sounded pretty cool.

Developer

Thanks, appreciate it!!

I went randomly into the submissions, started listening to yours and fellt like: "Hey, that sounds quite like underwater... how is the track named? Ahh! :D" You really did it sound like it's underwater, well done!

Developer

Thanks!

Thanks for the review, appreciate it!
