The brass in "Cosmocats" has that cheesy space fiction kind of feel to it, I don't even know how to properly describe it but it feels very accurate to the setting. 

"Wistful Mistin'" has a really cool wobbly synth, and some really nice chords. The cowbell, tambourine and accordion definitely relay the feel of a farm while the synth reminds you that we are in space and creates some interesting texture for the track.

Love the bassline and fast percussion in "Meal Rush," it certainly creates a hectic sort of feeling. The piano breaks things up nicely at 0:43, and the call and response bits with the brass and other instruments is a nice touch. I do feel like I got blue-balled a little bit with the drum pick-up; the snare finally kicks in and it feels like we are going to get a nice vibe going only to go back to to the jazzy beat that came before it. It sounds good, don't get me wrong; but you definitely could have extended that section out a few bars just before the snare comes in with more of a steady beat.

Cool melody in "Delivery!" This track gives me the feeling that this section would involve shooting various obstacles in space as you make your way through space traffic with your delivery.

"Captain's Orders" - There's that cheesy brass again. It gives this track a very lighthearted, whimsical feel to it while still delivering that feeling of formality that you are dealing with someone of rank.

The instrument choices in "Quips and Quirks" perfectly relays your intent here; it almost reminds me of something from Disgaea  (a revelation I also experienced with the sound of your brass in comparison to the song that plays for the battles against Earth dwellers later on in the game.) If you aren't familiar with the soundtrack for Disgaea, it has a very whimsical feel to it, much like the game that you have described. In other words, great work in bringing that vibe into your music as you intended!

"Treacherous Space" takes a departure from your previous tracks to deliver some weight to the soundtrack. It's a great contrast to the light-heartedness of the rest of the soundtrack while still feeling very cohesive towards the rest of the album. The strings here - I don't know if they ring to me as a villain theme, it feels more melancholy than anything, as if something sad has happened that has jarred the cast into a more serious moment. Regardless, it's a powerful track and I quite enjoyed it!

Overall, excellent job! A very dynamic track list that never once got stale, while all feeling very related to each other in an album sense. The soundtrack as a whole was just light and fun to listen to, your composition work here is A+.

Thanks so much for the detailed comment! I just want to clarify one minor detail. In the story, the "Delivery" theme actually occurs when the main character is racing inside (and outside) the space colony trying to deliver various parcels to the inhabitants. If you're interested about any lore relating to the story, just ask and I'll be happy to answer any questions that I can!
