Overall a very pretty sound, good orchestration of your ideas and I think the balancing of everything was done quite well. I really noticed your main theme, and thought it was used very well in each individual song that it was in, however I do wish that as a whole it had a bit more variation across the different pieces- it never felt wrong or out of place in any given one, but because I had heard it in such a similar way in the other songs i feel it unfortunately lost some of the impact it could have had on me. This isn't to bash your usage of leitmotif, as it is something I really do like and I did still overall like the fact that you used it to tell story, this is more a slight compositional critique to help make the soundtrack as a whole a teeny bit more engaging, because this was still really good!! I know this may read a bit harsh, but i truly enjoyed this. Nice work!

Deserves a perfect 5 star rating just from the BOINGGGNGNGNGNG in "Distractions".

VERY BASED composition. I loved how everything correlated to the theme. It fits very well fr nice orchestrations and distractions?! 

BUMPUs

Extremely charming soundtrack! My favorite track has to be "Be Strong for Me" with its poignant strings and emphatic woodwinds.  Excellent composition!

You have done a really great job! Your soundtrack begins with this fairy world and I love how it shifts toward tension with "Shattered" and "Trials". Really well thought submission, Well done!

Hi Hys! You soundtrack is WONDERFUL!!

I've no idea how you managed to create so much quality music in such a short time, but I am very happy that you were able to because I enjoyed it from start to finish!

Excellent variations of the leitmotiff.  Plus Distractions didn't distract me but they did make me laugh 😂

Great job!!!

A very pleasant listen! Captivating all the way through. I would have loved to hear some more woodwinds in here (I am addicted to the bassoon)! What VSTs did you use? Hearing CSS for strings but not too sure.

I enjoyed distractions the most. It made my brain distracted.

first of all i read the story on the project page and it's a very interesting story to me. great job on it

main menu would be a nice menu theme for a game, the orchestra is very nice there, it's realistic, and a good arrangement as well with those woodwinds melodies and arpeggios, strings, very cheerful, i love it

i like those percussions and xylophone/marimba(?) on breakfast, very cheerful, and the strings adding to it and supporting the melody sounds very good in the result, definitely would fit a game about some adventure. 

distractions fits very well as a track that would fit a scene where the main character is distracted and/or confused, that "boing" sound effect kinda caught me off guard haha, its a nice short track

shattered kind of resembles some previous tracks ive heard, but gets odd more and more adding suspense, then those chords that are saying that the main character is traumatized with the main melody being played sometimes kind of like fighting between the "it can't be real everything is good right?" and the thing that happened, and then the chords get louder and louder, realisation taking over the hope, and then the "main melody" being played in a different key, with some extra notes, and it didnt even finish, implying that the main character "escaped to the inner world" and got trapped there. a short track but still so much meaning (at the very least, knowing the plot). great job!

trials sounds tense, ominous, again the orchestra is realistic there, great job

game over is a nice little theme, i noticed it has the "main melody" as well but edited, making it sad and dark and has an "unfinished" feel of it as well, kind of like yeah it is a game over but it's not the time to stop, the story didnt end, very nice

be strong for me fits the described moment very well in my opinion, as it sounds hopeful, powerful, but still has some dark feeling to it as if it was saying "dont give up, be strong for me, no matter what, even if it's tough and hard to keep going and it's very dark theres still a subtle light of hope". and the ending part getting louder and louder works perfectly for the cutscene, i just imagine how the main character gets up and gets more confident. it's simple but still powerful, you sure did a great job :)

overcome sounds powerful as well, epic, dramatic in a way. resembling the main character being able to overcome all struggles, going through the toughest times, getting stronger, although i kind of feel like it could use a bit more percussions before one minute mark, after it it's just perfect

my conclusion is: this is great. you did a great job. i liked the sound design of it, and most importantly i love how the soundtrack tells the story on its own, probably you wouldn't have to read the whole story but just sit down, close your eyes and listen to the whole soundtrack, trying to imagine the whole picture while listening to it. again, amazing, great job! 

I definitely heard a leitmotif which i liked. I also liked the goofy song distractions.

Hi there! The orchestration and the coherence to the theme is on point! I'm glad to have taken a listen to this project!

Well done man!

Cool soundtrack! The beginning of "Overcome" kind of reminded me of the Nier Automata soundtrack with the string hits and percussion. Adding a "Game Over" track is something I don't think I've seen yet, and I respect the level of detail needed to add one and to make one that fits really well with the rest of the soundtrack. Good work!

The quality on this is just astounding! Hollywood levels of orchestration and the mixing is on top!

Some great use of percussion throughout, both in rhythm and the selection, particularly enjoyed that  in Distractions, especially the boing. Also like the percussion on Breakfast a lot.

Feels very coherent despite a variety of instrument choices and moods.

I like that you included a little game over jingle, very simple but works really well.

Be Strong For Me & Overcome were some of my favourites on here, both very emotional and good use of the strings.

That's really cool ! Love the little percussions, they all have a ton of character ! The panning is top notch, the mix is really clean, I don't really know what to add. Absolutly nailed it.

Love the emotions these produce!  Went from bubbly, exploration, to overcoming perilous trials.  Only wished that Overcome had a bit more percussion involved, but thats just a personal preference. I think you've managed to fully encapsulate the OST experience.  Very nice soundtrack! 

This was honestly amazing and beautiful. I tried producing classical tracks for the first time for this Jam and it seems like I got a lot to learn! I love the recurring melody you put in your tracks too. By far my favorite!

Bright symphonic goodness with main theme, with Breakfast i was right back there with Neko buying items in Secret of mana 1 haha, xylophone sounds, Distractions has nice off-center rhythm and sound effects which matches what the title is hinting at, Shattered bringing that unpredictable dissonance,  Trials the heaviness and the tenseness is right on point.

Just generally overall i had an awesome time, glad to have had a chance to rate this submission.  Cheers.
