Description
Bossa-ish with suddenly atmospheric song. Fifty Feet is like, the first level of the game after an opening cinematic where your character gets stuck under the ocean. We Go Deeper is supposed to play once you start venturing deeper into the ocean and Crab Kingdom is when you reach a particularly deep part where there's a bunch of spider crabs. Made in FL Studio with me bouncing around midi files.

The idea was originally that you'd be someone on a boat, fishing, when you get rekt by a wave and you wake up in the bottom of the ocean, saved by a jellyfish's hobo magic and you start adventuring for a way back home.

Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The picture has an underwater vibe to it, and the text theme made us think about a jellyfish showing a human friend around the beauties of the ocean.

Ok... this is one of those soundtracks that sounds as vivid as possible! It's like I'm sitting at a table in a small restaraunt, and the local jazz band is entertaining the customers as usual.... I love it!
Thanks)

Love the diversity of the tunes. Fifty Feet below put a smile on my face. I love the guitar and keyboard solos in between, so pretty. Could vamp forever on that chord progression, haha. nice job!

while the first song didn’t really click with me, the second and third tracks reminded me of waiting in lines in Disneyland which is weird but in a good way! The third theme was a ton of fun!

Nice work! Definitely have not heard anything like this throughout my rating spree yet, and I think you did a phenomenal job with arrangement and composition.

I just wish everything was a touch louder! But that's only because I want more of it, and for it to wake my neighbors to hear this majesty. Well done!

absolutely immaculate vibes, such a cool and captivating ost

Very neat soundtrack! Good usage of repetition to catch the ears of the listener, even though it might be a bit more noticeable on the last track.  While the first track seemed a bit of a soft intro, I can't say the same for the rest of the OST. I'm torn between loving both We Go Deeper and Fifty Feet Below the Surface, I can't exactly pick - both are very, very charming, and they flow into each other so well. Good job!

Fifty Feet is great! Loving the Bossa Nova and the accompaniment is fantastic, too. Everything is layered together really well. We Go Deeper is an interesting one, too. Choice instrumentation and it plods along rather nicely - it's got a jaunt to it! Great use of articulations with the strings in particular in this one. I liked Crab Kingdom too, but I feel as though the drums in that are a little too dry and loud in comparison to the other instruments, but it is still a solid track.

Great work with these - they're quite unique!
