I think you nailed the "watery" soundscape that you were going for in this soundtrack overall.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the addition of the drums in "Waterways". It's such a sick ambient piece, and the drums felt a bit out of place and unnecessary.

"Swimming Upstream was a very interesting track. It branches off from the overall tone of the soundtrack a bit more drastically than any of the others do, but still remains cohesive. I do wish the melodic elements were made more of a focus than the low panning noise layer - but I can see what you were going for.

"Sunken Castle" is by far the best track of this entry. Every element fits, the transitions are smooth (when the drums cut and the bass comes in, and then the drums come back - DAMN). Sound choice in this track was incredible as well.

"Plummet" is 50/50 for me. I enjoy the sound choices in this track. The addition of some more distorted sounds was great, and added a unique character to this track. The drums in this one I feel could use some work. The level of them works well in the chorus, but in the intro the are quite loud and don't feel placed in the mix well. Adding some little fills to the drum loop in the chorus would have been great too, as they get a bit stale.

Overall this entry is great. I enjoyed the cohesion of the "watery" soundscape throughout the whole thing and the sound choices were wonderful.

Keep up the great work!

Really enjoyed the nod to synthwave in a lot of these tracks. My personal favourite track is Ascension, as it feels the most polished.

Keep it up!

Solid amount of diversity in these tracks - I applaud that.

I really enjoyed your drum work, fun grooves that really helped the overall progression of the tracks. Would love to see you lean more into that! The vocal lead patch in "Frog King" is awesome (especially the little break at 0:38).

Keep up the good work dude, hope to hear your submission in the next OST jam! :)

I really enjoyed the blend between the acoustic and electronic elements of these tracks. I especially liked the turnaround in "The Earth Can't Hold Me" around the halfway mark where everything opens up and the guitar is added.

A wonderful ambient take on the theme - Well done!

Keep up the good work :)

Thank you!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I can totally see that. Was on a bit of a time crunch for these tracks as I am on vacation, but I’ll definitely try to vary my compositions more going forward. I really appreciate the feedback!

I really appreciate this, thanks so much! :) if you have Serum message me on discord (m_rph, I’m also in the OST jam server) and I’ll send you the preset pack with all these sounds and more when I get back from vacation!

Appreciate the kind words! Message me on discord (m_rph, I’m also in the OST jam server). I have a Serum preset pack I made a couple years back inspired by Hyper Light Drifter. I’ll send it to you when I get back from vacation :)

Appreciate the critique! I’m going to address that lead when I get back home from vacation :)
