There is something so special about Corporate Inc.... i got distracted while listening and stopped paying attention to what the name of each song was but i got snapped right back during that song and had to listen to the full thing again just because that song captivated me so much... The piano is so delectably moody and the synths add that lovely little extra layer of creepy and edgy... wow. Everything else was really nice, but Corporate Inc was my standout for sure

I love this soundtrack ! There's a very nice harmonic science in all of this, chord progressions are very rich and subtle. And all the tracks really have that "underwater" feeling, well done !

Ulma's JourneyReally enjoyed Wave's Theme! The beginning reminded me a lot of Celeste and the strings packed a lot of emotion. I also loved the atmosphere of Corporate Inc. Great work!

False ParadiseAmazing soundtrack!!
I'd like to know how you have achieved the bell sounds in Deep Feeling and Wave's Theme.
Y fave is Final Boss, I love the glissandos at the beginning and strings sound as well.
Great job!!!

True LightI adored the first track! I wish the entire OST had kept that energy because I am all here for that stuff. The rest of the songs were great don't get me wrong. It's just that the first track is absolutely my vibe!

Inside my WorldI absolutely love Corporate, Inc! That gave me a chuckle. I enjoyed your soundtrack. It was more on the calm side than many of them are but that's not a bad thing at all! Some of these songs take me back to Final Fantasy IX. It was very melodic and I really appreciate that. Overall well done!

Cloud RidersI'm a sucker for harp arpeggios, so Final Boss was an highlight for me :)
Really super good OST, some people have found that some tracks might lack a bit of punch but I have the same problem on my submission, it's hard to mix and master ahah
Anyways really great job!

Tsuya - OST Jam 07Very pretty and atmospheric OST, really enjoyed it! Also loved the name 'Corporate Inc.' hahaha, truly the most evil sounding company of them all! I think the music is really well made and sounds good, I did find the reverb to be a tad heavy at times, maybe a bit of EQ or filtering out some frequencies might make the music sound even more clean. I agree with some of the other commenters about how all of the ideas are there for the final boss theme, but it doesn't quite have enough oomph to it. I've found that to get a bit more 'weight' to my sound, duplicating an instrument (maybe the brass for this boss theme), then panning the original track and the duplicate track to the L and R respectively, is a quick and easy way to get not only a fuller sound, but also a more immersive sound that really 'surrounds' the listener. I hope this helps! Overall really enjoyed listening to this track, great job!

yOur WorldGreat ideas! The little transition riffs keep the dynamic and interest of your music! It's obvious that what you did here is mastered and that you hear what you're doing! The harmonies in "water temple" are gorgious!! Really nice submission!

A Journey toward OriginsReally well produced soundtrack with a great sense of cohesion throughout. Especially like the atmosphere created in Corporate Inc, has a nice sense of depth and structure.. The final boss theme could be a bit stronger compared to the rest of the soundtrack, the ideas and material is there and just needs a bit of refinement. Lots of great work :)

Inside My WorldReally good entry! The Title theme instantly gave beach vibes. Water Temple is SO good dude, the drums come out of nowhere but they are executed so well as well as the bass. Corprate Inc. was also a standout track for me, gave me slight Organization 13 vibes and I think the villain-type sound you were going for with this piece came through perfectly. Good work, keep it up!

TIDES OF FATE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKThese tracks are very precious! I wish they were longer! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

a winter's sheepThis is outstanding, sounds professional. The use of dynamics are amazing and the whole range of frequencies feels fully utilized. I like the instrumentation and I feel it fits well to the theme. Very fun soundtrack. I am really impressed by this, great job!

My Domain of JellyfishLoving the vibes. Definitely unique. Each track seems fun to make. Awesome work!

An Escape From RealityOh this one has a lot of variety. Deep Feelings is my best of the album it feels very original, it sounds well, the composition is well written, At 1 min of the track I would've love more bass, like deep bass to make it explode a little bit more. at 30 secs of Title screen the vibe is so quirky too very different I like it. The Final Boss though, I think that all the ideas were somewhat there but it feels like its missing something, some punch to it, the mix is also lower than all the other tracks in terms of volume en dynamic i'm sure if you had more time you could do something insane with the track. Good job !

Two WorldsOh no a Water Temple
Tracks feel nautical, the OST is driven by the game idea and that's perfect. We get calm sounds for the first part, and then Corporate Inc gets in with tension; great progression. Final Boss wraps things up, I like its melody. I don't know if that track was meant to be a boss fight track, as it feels more like an introduction to me, but it was great nonetheless. Good job!

ANReally nice little jingle at the beginning of the title theme!
I love it! And the melody of the first 30 seconds! So nostalgic and energic! The rest of the song is fun and make a good "waiting screen" well thought, well made ;)
Deep feelings has an interesting progression, and the motif from the title screen is nice touch :)
Water temple sent me back to childhood, there is a real vibe here. Then when the bass comes in, I felt like exploring this under water temple. Your skill at composing a vibe that conveys gameplay is a strenght!
Wave's theme starts with mystery, then the beautiful piano part told her story in a good way, standing apart from the rest of the ost as a character.
Corporate Inc : nice dark theme for the bad guys. It evokes an anxieuse exploration to me, well done again.
Battle Boss : Nice use of that "alarm" sound to give a sense of urgency !
That was a great ost man, I like that with simple instruments/elements you were able to produce entertaing and on spot tracks !
