How does it fit the theme?
I wanted to capture the feeling of a mystical, tropical world.

I liked the windchimes in the last track a lot!

So... good

This is definitely one of the soundtracks that it was hard for me to comment on...

......Because I was dancing, heh)

I like your combination of genres and dynamism. (How did you come up with the idea of using JAZZ along with other such genres...) Cool!

I was a big fan of "Fight". It could use more development in terms of making the track feel bigger, but its super fun and energetic!

Both parts of Tropical Sunset nail the vibe right from the get-go, and I can easily see them being used in a transitionary cutscene or perhaps a level select/map overview, perhaps a day and night cycle? The title theme gives me some throwback vibes to the early PSX/N64 era, the chord progression in particular reminds me of something I might hear in Croc, which has a banger soundtrack.

Fight has some interesting ideas in it, I think in comparison to the others it feels a little bare but it still functions well enough for what it needs to be. This made for an interesting listen all in all, there's definitely some good stuff in here. Best of luck.

Thank you for listening! I really appreciate your feedback!

Sound good in the mix but very very repetitive, we need some movement, some melody something to hook us up.

Developer

I appreciate the feedback. I was very busy during this jam, so what you hear are basically rough sketches. Next jam, I’d like to set aside more time for composition.

Just listened through your tracks! Nice work on these and only a small note. Though I think FL Studio has some great stock sounds, I'd like to hear you use some more external VSTs and sounds. Overall; very solid and good luck!

Developer

Thank you for listening and the kind words! I have had trouble finding good free VSTs in the past, and can’t afford to buy new ones, so I did the best with the stock VSTs. If you have any recommendations for free VSTs, please let me know!
