Description
This is the story of Lonk, a street urchin, who is prophesized to protect Prince Melda from the grasps of Evil Countess Mlanderborf, who also has a tragic backstory (DLC only). The pieces in the soundtrack signify as follows:
Intro - This helps set the tone for the great journey our eventual hero of space and time is going to embark on.
Overworld - This acts as the accompanying soundtrack to the hero's various mischievous and most definitely illegal activities including but not limited to pick pocketing, courier package thievery and insurance scam.
Call to Arms - This is when our eventual hero realizes he has to battle the mighty Countess to save the prince and the world.
Bitersweet - Finally, here the hero realises he has won ( but at what cost? )
Message from the artist:
There can never be too many cherries on an ice cream sundae.
Theme

Epic tracks! Like call to arms)
Tragic backstory DLC only made my day :D
Music is very nicely done.
I admit being particularly sensitive to the melodic construction of Black Birbb's works, as well as to their orchestration and the judicious choice of dissonances with the chosen harmony. As for the creations of Santrupta Mishra, they are of an intense sweetness and incredible poetry : this association of composers offers an incredible diversity, while remaining nevertheless very coherent. I did not expect such a (pleasant) surprise considering the few OST that I have left to listen to and write down. So it's a pleasure for me to include your OST among my favorite achievements of the Jam (who would have thought that two different composers would give birth to an OST of such general unity). The melodic variety of each piece is constantly enriched with an expressive orchestral progression that highlights the whole title. An OST which also benefits from a splendid, clear and perfectly balanced rendering. Ideal for any video game offering a fabulous story, epic moments of combat, and bursting with moments of strong emotions. Bravo for these 4 titles that I listen to and listen to again with happiness. Thank you to you for all these magical moments spent in the company of your musical pages.
Your music is very talented. Very nice work.
Overworld is my favorite of the bunch, captures the familiar while adding some new staccato elements. Thanks for sharing!
very cool, i really liked call to arms
Really liked this! It conveys pretty deep emotions without losing a simple and playful feel. The sound quality is also good!
There are some lovely soft piano sounds in here that I thought were wonderful. It felt like a very imaginative twist on a familiar video game music style.
Also the percussion on Call to Arms is tight, I loved it.
I look forward to the DLC!
ah, you read the description XD. Thank you for the warm words!
Call To Arms has epic percussion! I appreciate it! Music is cool, good job :)
Thanks for listening!
Bittersweet!!!!! Anything bittersweet is my emotional weakness and you nailed it ;-; stunning pieces of work you've produced! Great work! <3
