Desert is so fire, I love it! Usually chiptune will be a bit more dry for the retro-feel, but I enjoyed the reverb as well. Can't wait to listen to more of your music! :)

Nice work, I especially love the Menu theme, those trills (or vibratos, don't know how to name it) are so satisfying. The quality of the sound is great and I find the leitmotiv of the Menu and Victory beautiful.

Good stuff. Finding a Master System inspired OST out there is quite a treat. I enjoyed the few tracks provided, the Menu theme was especially great, the main melody and general vibe reminded me a lot of Shovel Knight. A lot of tunes have this heroic, adventurous overtone to them that I liked.

I'm not sure which to pick between Desert and Menu as my favourite, I'd probably go with Desert for the drums and melody alone.

The one thing I didn't like much about the soundtrack was the reverb effect added to the instruments. I prefer retro-inspired ditties with a more dry sound to them... But it's just personal preference. I also thought the village theme sounded a bit empty, but that might be due to time constraints.

The art provided is what immediately attracted me towards this submission, it's extremely charming and endearing, I hope you do more of it in the future.

Overall, I'd say it was a great soundtrack with room for improvement. The stuff that's there is great and I'd honestly listen to it in my own free time outside of jam constraints.

Hope you have a good shave and haircut!

Great soundtrack!
It's quite refreshing to hear an NES-style soundtrack among other submissions :D
I like the Menu and Shop themes most, as well as the Victory tune!! But if I had to choose my favourite out of these, it would go to Shop :)

Thanks for posting these, even if the soundtrack is unfinished!
I wish you luck in the jam :D

Holy megaman banger with Desert! 

This reminds me of when I tried to make a megaman OST but this sounds way better and is much more authentic to that NES sound

I know you said it was inspired by WOnderboy 3 but megaman is all I can hear.

The rest of the tracks are nice too, but Desert is just fantastic! Great job!
