I may be mistaken but your submission reminded me a lot of the vibe in Pokemon's games, especially in "Corrupted Heart". Nice job doing so much variety between your tracks!

Description
A girl, having created her own world, goes on an adventure to free her father from corruption. In the beginning, everything seems fine to her (represented by the rather calming and upbeat music), but as she explores said world, she discovers the dark secrets of it.
In the end, the player gets to know that outside of her world her father isn't alive anymore and how she tries to at least keep her father with her at that time.
(names were changed after being submitted here. All of the changed names of the tracks can be seen on Soundcloud)
"01 - In My World" is the music for the title screen.
"02 - Aquatic Adventure" is the music for the first area of the game.
"03 - Area Theme 2" is the music for the second area of the game. I couldn't think of a name, honestly. ("03 - Cave Of Mysteries" on Soundcloud)
"04 - Final Battle Music - Intro" is the music before the final battle against the corruption and represents her fear when seeing her father as he is. ("04 - The Corruption" on Soundcloud)
"05 - Final Battle Music - Battle" is the music for the corruption fight. ("05 - Corrupted Heart" on Soundcloud)
"06 - Bad Ending Theme" is the music for the Bad Ending in which the girl wasn't able to win against the corruption and thus losing her father in her world aswell. ("06 - Forgotten" on Soundcloud)
"07 - Good Ending Theme" is the music for the Good Ending in which the girl succeeds to free her father and thus he remains in her world. ("07 - Remain" on Soundcloud)
The soundtrack consists of a mix of Orchestral and Electronic music. The final boss theme specifically uses Metal/Rock elements to create tension.
The DAW I used is FL Studio Mobile.
Message from the artist
I've experimented with a lot of stuff during the given time window. I am proud of some of the work I've done whilst some other compositions I've made for this are less good in my opinion.

Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
(Some music might not fit the theme individually as both the picture and words are "part of the game". The music is composed to fit in the story.)
The music sounds happy and childish while having a tone of mystery in it. Later on as the journey progresses, the music gets more mysterious (as composed in "03 - Area Theme 2"). The more tense parts of the songs are supposed to be a kind of adaptive music which changes when you are being attacked or generally being in combat. A big inspiration for it was the soundtrack of the Super Mario Galaxy Series as, in my opinion, it really lets one feel the magnificence but also mystery of the vast universe. I tried to replicate that by using synths mixed with "real" instruments (like violins, pianos, etc.) and some suspended chords here and there as they sound dreamy to me when used as an arpeggio.
Both ending themes should let the player experience how the girl feels after either failing or winning at beating the corruption. There's also a motif I used throughout most of the soundtrack, which I don't really know if it is audible (as I know where they are), but it is used almost everywhere.
