Minute Man: This is a great theme and makes me feel like Minute Man is a hero whose story I want to follow along with. The melody is memorable and fun with a great rhythm in the same way that many classic Nintendo games are.
Secondhand’s Shop: This sounds reminiscent of classic Mario water level music, but is given its own identity with the fun bass line and quirky melody. I also think the title for this track is really clever!
Cogwheel Plains: This is a really great “World 1” theme as it sounds upbeat, but still holds a feeling of mystery or curiosity. My favorite part is the echoey part which makes me imagine echoes bouncing off the many metal cogs and gears across the landscape.
Cuckoo Forest: Great job representing cuckoo clock sounds in chiptune style music. The seventh chord pads give a sense of unsettled calmness and have a really cool effect. I like the transition into the more upbeat section where the percussion drives things forward, but you use a more prominent minor sound.
The Hour Tower: The duet of the main two melody instruments in the latter half sounds really beautiful in this haunting atmosphere. The pulsing chords are reminiscent of a chiming clock, and paired with the ticking clock sounds gives a strong sense of time looming over the adventure that is approaching its end.
Battle with a Timeless Foe: You have a great sense of how to bring variation into a battle theme. The tempo is perfect for a driving battle and you have a good balance of when percussion is used and when to give it a break so that it sounds fresh when it returns.
Overall: This OST sounds very professional and would fit to be game-ready in a gameboy game as it stands! I really enjoyed listening all the way through. Great work and thank you for sharing!
