Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I was able to do some pointed research today and solve the problem!
I now have consistent music throughout my game on my offline version at home, and I'll be able to bring this new wisdom to future jams!
Hooray! Cheers to learning new things :) If you want you can upload the new 'fixed' build since this is technically a 'bug'. Your call!
I'll keep this one as it is a competition and the poorly coded music is the more accurate reflection of my skillset at that point in time, but appreciate the offer, thank you!
