A jam submission

AscensionView project page

I'm not sure exactly what kind of game Ascension is meant to be, but I imagine it involves a lot of boss fights.

How does it fit the theme?
I used reverb and plucky synths to emulate the underwater theme,

Really great use of empty space and pauses for a cool effect!

the track "You're in a menu" was too good !!!  

Amazing entries :D

i really liked the boss theme. it's very jittery for lack of a better time. i also liked the cutting out portions near the beginning where the drums stopped for a minute and picked back up again. my brain is 2 cells beating each other over the head with a hammer right now so i can't formulate a gooder response but still: good job!

All the tracks are pretty good, they would fit pretty well in a boss rush game :D

The experimental part is what I enjoyed the most! Amazing job in the melodic aspect of The Boss Battle.

Love the whole OST! Well done!!

Heh... I love retro! You did a good and epic job (gosh, I admire the dynamics in The Boss Battle). Interesting sound and excellent flirtation with the retro theme) Good!

You're In A Menu - Nice chords and liking that melody deep in the back, well balanced in the mix!

The Boss Battle - Very EDM fun-nish sounding with dope break chops, your melody line reminds me of Rainwave/Indigo Rain! Solar Vision 2 and 3! 

Very nice work!

Amazing composition, It reminds me a bit of Adventure Time /  Steven Universe / Regular Show mixed with Celeste. Really really cool!

Very well done! Loving the retro vibe and the shredding notes in The Boss Battle. Great work and good luck!

Like I did a very syncopated manual keyboard performance because it's my first rodeo on itch.io's Jams but I am being sharply reminded what can be done in a DAW where people are more building it with discipline.

The in and out pulse on the Boss Battle track absolutely rocks.  Probably the best chiptune performance I saw this morning rating so far.  The oscillating feel was amazing.
