Yeah, the tiers are kind of flimsy in my opinion. You should be considered advanced even if you’ve never contributed to a jam or game project before.

HOW IS THIS “INTERMEDIATE?!” This is some orchestra grade work! Feels like black magic with these instruments you’re using.

Not much to say (I’d just echo everyone else) so I have been properly spooked. I also have to give props to the clever cover image - did you make it yourself? I assume you did.

“Sky: Children of the Light” type beat

If predictions are allowed this early, I’d say you won this jam.

Thanks! The song came before the idea, so when it was time to come up with a title for tbis, I just imagined someone struggling to come up with a good idea under time pressure. The song starting out dinky then slowly ramping up as that “eureka moment” strikes.

Glad someone picked up on that!

You hit the homerun on the “Jaunty village theme for dinky adventurers on the Nintendo DS” feel

Sorry, I don’t have much to say besides how is this “beginner?” This is too awesome for beginner work!

…actually I have a couple things to say:

-Motif use is fine but doesn’t really go beyond “A part then B part.” Everything else ramps up in complexity (and the build up/drop is pretty rad) but the motif itself stays mostly the same throughout. Try exploring different patterns, maybe having it “break down” along with everything else?

-When you loop it, it “loops” like a song that shouldn’t be looped in a game.

Great job! …OKAY I have one more thing to say

-This is more of a personal taste thing, but the mixing is a bit iffy; the kick doesn’t feel punchy enough and the lead synth sounds too loud/overpowering the rest of the mix… but what do I know I’m cheeks at mixing too and I don’t write dubstep so I’ll shut up

A jaunty, fast paced sonata. This doesn’t really feel like something a beginner would make (and I mean that as a complement), afaik; piano compositions like this rely on music theory alone to support it, so I assume you acquired some knowledge beforehand.

While I like how you tried to incorporate it, I could only hear bits and pieces of the motif. Maybe it’s not obvious enough, or it’s just me idk

And one more thing, the loop feels jarring. If there was maybe a bit more connection to the start and the end?

Nevertheless, good submission!
