Ocean: The swelling background pads feel like ocean waves, and then so do the arpeggios. Very nice imagery! I really like your main motif! This is good overall track development and this would fit an entire opening title sequence.

File Select: The gentle relaxed version of the main idea from the main theme is a great way to get ready for the game in the file select screen. It’s very creative representing the ocean with your sound channel. 

Your Home: The gentle bass pulsing in the syncopated rhythm gives a sense of safety that works well for an indoor home theme.

Outside: Great variation of the indoor theme to give a little more motion to the track with the percussion. The way your two melodies work together is really cool and feels like a convergence in story elements.

The Shore: This is very nice and relaxing. I wonder if having the shore have a different melody and chords from the other themes would set it apart a little more as a stand-alone piece?

Oppression: It feels good to hear something very different! I like the use of muddled percussion and bass to sort of confuse the player about what is going on. The use of the Andalusian cadence works well here. I think the best part of this track is the melody that enters around 1:40. I think that having it enter sooner would help grab the player’s attention faster!

Sunset: This is a great way to return to the main theme in a gentle and relieving type of way after the boss battle. The 7th chords help give that bittersweet feeling of the journey concluding.

The Credits: These credits have a foreboding sound like we were left on a cliffhanger. I have a hard time taking James Bond out of my head while listening to this track, but I think it’s nice variation from other tracks you made.

Overall: This is really solid work and sounds like it belongs to an actual game from the NES era! Your main idea is polished and works well throughout the soundtrack. I especially like when you deviate from the main theme melody and chords and then return to them - they feel like home even more at those points. Well done and thank you for sharing!

I uh.. seemed to overuse leitmotifs. this is kinda my first time using them a lot, and I was having so much fun I didn't realize I was overusing them, Also thanks for the feedback! Honestly this is the best feedback I've ever gotten in my entire life! Thank you so much!
