Description of this fictional game:---------------------------------------------------------------------
2.5D adventure platform game. (inspiration: Pandemonium, Super Mario Bros 3, Gurumin)
The main character is a little elf named 'Nini' who travels through a giant fantasy world with her faithful feathered creature named 'Buko'.
During her travels, she visits a foreign village where the inhabitants have lost the precious "Dragon Amulets" that were stored on the sacred "Mountain of Destiny". These amulets emitted beautiful "Dragon Songs" all year round, which brought joy and happiness to the people in the region.
No one knows who got hold of these amulets, but the villagers became uncontrollably sad. They don't know what joy is, the harvest has stopped growing. Domestic cattle disappeared in the forest.
'Nini' and 'Buko' therefore set out to find all the amulets and bring joy back to the villages.
'Nini' uses 'Buko' to move quickly down steep paths and jump over pitfalls.
'Buko' can attack with its beak, flap its wings in a violent wind and emit a shrill scream.
'Nini' has the ability to awaken forest spirits that allow her to reveal secret paths, open gates or summon a giant forest army when they are in danger.
Enemies are either forest monsters or dark ghosts, or ordinary thugs and bandits.
During the game, 'Buko' collects secret fruits (health points), hidden in unknown bushes that are located throughout the landscape.
-- Artist's Note --
For the first track, I got a little inspiration from DV-i, but also from PC Engine or PC-FX music. It was fun in the end.😊✨

Great work ! Can definitely feel the retro CD-based console in both tracks (it wouldn't feel out of place in a game like Nights Into Dreams or the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast for example), and it works really nice for the arrangements you've made, so nice job !
Little girl in a Huge Magic World: Really reminds me of the Battle Network games. Cool full chords!
Mighty Mountains Of Destiny: So relaxing. I love those extended chords. That synth playing the melody is so smooth.
Great production as always! Can't wait to see your work in the next jam!
this is a bop - i love the low end in these
Very good retro game music you might have a "high score"
It really does remind me of old playstation games. Very nostalgic
This is excellent! The high energy retro style is so fun and nostalgic! Also, The cover art is fantastic!
I am super impressed that you were able to make this in just 48 hours!
Love the retro vibe! Great job!
Liking the ambient and laidback of 2nd track Mighty Mountains of Destiny.
Sounds great! I love the feeling you managed to capture in your compositions it's super nostalgic. 10/10 would listen again.
Another banger! I love how spacey you made everything sound, it really sells the "small protagonist in a big world" vibe. The PS1 nostalgia is also strong with this one
Really like the style! Sounds great!
Those were so sick, great work!
mhm, yep, I'm old. Songs rock tho, you captured the feel of the ps1 so perfectly that I could smell the bug juice for a second
