Incredibly difficult at times, the mechanics are there, but the fairness isn't, either way a great 'boogeyman' style game!

I gave this one a fantastic rating, you should be really proud of this one!
The only things I would change is a few minor nit-picks with instrumentation and effects tweaking to help with the flow, but honestly this gives such a vibe of a Stardew-Valley town/city that I can't help but want to play the game if it was in one.
It's interesting that this track has so much characterization, not just for the scenery but for characters as well, I absolutely adore when a track can do this!
I'm surprised that I didn't leave a comment on this one earlier, amazing job nonetheless!
Thank you!
I've noticed that the 2 chord progression does get a bit repetitive after a few listens; I did actually try some other mid-sections but they didn't really fit with the overall track. Overall for a first jam I think that this was a great learning experience, and I appreciate all of the comments that help me to improve (via what people enjoyed and didn't).
Thanks again for the analysis, a second pair of ears always helps!
Thank you for the generously positive comment, I loved your submission as well!
Yeah ironically, I understand how people see this as less photosynthetic and more technological, guess that's what I get for doing the bucket / bottle sounds last...
After writing the main synth chords I went back and redid it to try and refollow the theme of an 'uplifting' city (alike how plants grow)! I'm glad that the catchiness has paid off, even with a surprisingly unintentional Moshi-Monster's-like shop break mid way through (1:57) hah.
Thanks for the comment, it doesn't go unappreciated! :D
This is so simple and yet amazing for what it's trying to achieve.
- I love the ambience in the background
- The small tingles of calmness symbolizing fireflies
- I do however really wish that there was a soothing cello in the background that would come in, that would make it a 10/10 [as you can elaborate with different sections of the composition with small plucking and long drawn out viking-like ambience's]
Overall, fantastic submission!
