Honestly? I don't even know what I can say about this soundtrack... Oh, no, I can!
That's cool, man! An incredible combination of different sounds, genres and effects, which eventually create a complete picture of the soundtrack - it's cool!
P.S. Through The Pink Forest is my favorite, heh)
Between Worlds: The VSTs are nicely produced with good mixing and reverb. I like the progression from piano to violin to glockenspiel. I can hear the Earthbound vibes already!
The Start: Somewhat ominous string tremolos getting us ready for an adventure in which you are transported to another world.
Dark, Damp, Empty Cave: This dark environment has a nice ambience that keeps things sort of quiet and subtle.
Punch Me and I’ll Punch You Back!: The elements of this track work really well together with the bass, percussion, brass, and chiptune lead! I also really like the sound effects with people shouting in the background - that’s a great way to convey a fight scene!
Get Up and Try Again: I really like the delay you used on the main melody! This sounds very era-appropriate for how reverb was done on early consoles. Nice work!
Through the Pink Forest: The use of reversed sounds are really cool in the intro of this track! I wasn’t expecting the percussion and bass, but when they came in, I was instantly hit with strong Earthbound vibes. I think this was my favorite of all your tracks!
Moving On: This has a similar sound to The Start but with maybe a somewhat more uplifting sound.
Overall: I really like how true you stayed to your influences and the game-ready quality that you produced with each track. Through the Pink Forest was a personal favorite! Thank you for sharing!
Okay I understand why people were talking about your submission. Amazing job on the whole OST!!
I got chills in the first song from those notes at 18 seconds and 47 seconds
Track 4 was really loud but it was also my favorite song in the OST.
1:08 dissonances in Between Worlds, were very surprising. Love them!
Through The Pink Forest my favorite!!! 1:17...wow!
Wonderful work!!
Definitely track 4 is my favorite out of the soundtrack. It's a little too loud compared to the other tracks, but other than that, good work!
Me after walking 0:32 minutes into a dark, damp, and empty cave.
But seriously, I remember first hearing "Between Worlds" and "Punch Me" in Discord and was vibing HARD to them. Especially Punch Me since that is such a hype song.
This was super interesting to go through, It felt like a pretty cohesive soundtrack to me, Your creative use of magical 8 bit (LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLUGIN) really brought together so many of these songs, and your melodies are addicting!! Punch Me and I'll Punch you back sounds plucked right out of deltarune chapter 3, so im not saying you should dm toby fox on twitter and give him this song but like maybe you could.
ABSOLUTE BANGERS!!!! this soundtrack feels like it was made for me lmaoo!! i cant stress enough how much i love punch me and ill punch back! in fact, its going in the playlist!! great job overall, and the instrumentation was sooo cool!
Well done! There is a lot of variety even if sometimes I couldn't see the link between the tracks. Especially liked "Punch me and I'll punch you back!" :D
Nevermind, by listening again, I spotted the leitmotiv in "Get up and try again"!
Great work! Thing thing has great variety while still maintaining a cohesive feel for the concept you were running with. Very well done friend!
Battle theme is pretty good. The emphasis on Earthbound/Undertale/etc helps keep it all in frame.
And yes, definitely don't procrastinate! XDDDDDD
this OST is INSANE, dude. Like I said in the disc, Punch Me and I'll Punch You Back! is FIRE, man. I really like the theme you went with with your OST as well and wanna affirm your creativity on that! Nice work!
HOLY. what the fuck!!?!? how do you make something this good??
fav tracks: Dark, Damp, Empty Cave, Punch Me and I'll Punch You Back!, Through The Pink Forest
Probably my favorite submission so far! As Jhryne said, "Punch Me and I'll Punch You Back!" is great, but all song are really good. It definitely feels like an actual complete OST and fits the theme well.
Yo 3DSquare! As I said in discord, "Punch Me and I'll Punch You Back!" is an undisputed banger. The entire soundtrack felt cohesive and its inspirations are very clear. I can imagine how each track would fit in a particular game scenario. Amazing work, would love to see more in the future. <3
