Yes. I'd like to add more to it but it was last minute, I was originally working on a scavenger hunt but realized I wouldn't finish it in time either. Works a killer.
i liked them, but that high pitched synth kind of took away from the atmosphere. Between the drums and the electric piano I felt like I was Jazz bar. I think you have great work here but that instrument you performed the melody with did not feel cohesive with the rest of it.
I 100%'d it, no problem. Even got an achievement and found the secret ending; really like the twist at the end where you find out the main character was you the whole time.
But seriously, the variation in the tracks is fantastic, you really covered your bases with this. This felt like a classic platform adventure on the N64 with all the different worlds you could visit. Really reminds me of Grant Kirkhope, honestly. Great job.
Also, side note, I've noticed you give very insightful, and thoughtful comments, great job on that too.
This is super cool, like I'm flying through portal after portal in some crazy chase. or I guess in this case jumping through mirrors. It gave me the same feeling as when I played Sayonara Wildhearts. It's Really awesome!
I really like your instrument choices. The main title being only a piano while the rest of the music had full bands was a really cool contrast. Glorious Morning had a really nice backing synth that got me nostalgic, the shop theme was groovy, and the dungeon theme was great but could have been shortened; it got a little repetitive and I began tuning out. The Final Judgement, was surprisingly restrained with how bright and bombastic the shop and dungeon were. It successfully unnerved me, like seeing Lavos for the first time, it gave me the "Oh shit, what's gonna happen now?" feeling. Really well done, I like this entry.
The irony is that this was originally going to be a jazzy, fast paced, psuedo big band piece. Then I remembered that I don't really know how to do that. Out of all the things I had these chords remained. When I slowed it down i realized that i had something calm that drowned out the bigger, and louder thoughts. When I get the chance I'll definitely work on it more.
Yeah it's definitely how I recall Celeste sounding like. The energy of track 3 is great, as a whole the funk chill vibe and chilly atmosphere were really engaging.
So, since people have brought up that you wrote this early I won't comment on it.
The piece itself is decent, it's got a fun jingle, and the bells in the beginning were nice, but when you have All of them going it's hard to listen to. There's too much reverb on all of them so when they're all together it amplifies. Bells are loud, having more bells or really anything Playing with them will muddy up the track and drown out any details you put in. You either have to digitally mix it or intentionally compose these bells to ring out, and not mix.
Wow. I love your tracks. I love the bouncy melody in track 1, My favorite is the second one. It gives me a Donkey Kong Adventure impression. The third one would Amp me up during a boss fight. They are all so fun.
You definitely had some great moments in here. It did sound muddy with so much going on. Spacing it out, Simplifing it and adjusting some Volume levels would help with actually following what's going on. I think with an extra beat or space in between Your piece would hit harder and be more readable.
