How does your game fit the theme?
The games objective ist to combine different (robot) parts, each playing its own music loop. Try different parts from the junkyard in front of your workshop to make a music loop you enjoy.

Thank you for your comment and your insights!
I really would have liked to combine AudioStreamInteractive and AudioStreamSynchronized for smooth transitions, but due to being not so advanced in coding and the lack of documentation on the relativly new AudioStreams in the Godot Documents (yet) I could not make it work.... The problem I ran into was that I couldn't figure out how to nest the Streams properly to call them via code (so how do I trigger or change voluime for an AudioStream inside an AudioStream that is inside another AudioStream itself). In the end I put everything in a big AudioStreamSynchronized and hardcoded the transitions. Not the most elegant way, but I figured I will learn how to do it nicely after the jam. ;)
We had the same problem in our game! We wanted to plug multiple AudioStreamInteractive into an AudioStreamSynchronized (one for each "layer" to switch between the different layer-states), but ended up using a AudioStreamSynchronized and just hoped we stayed under the sample limit.
The Problem with AudioStreamInteractive is that as far as I can see you can only switch from a) the player via the property (if the stream is directly being used) or by calling switch_to_clip() on AudioStreamPlaybackInteractive, but you can't get the Playback object from an AudioStreamPlaybackSynchronized. I wrote a godot engine proposal + a patch for it (after the gamejam), so I hope that either gets merged or someone comes around with a much better solution than implementing a get_playback() on AudioStreamPlaybackSynchronized. ;)
Hey, thank you for your follow-up! Nice to hear I am not the only one with this problem. I would totally +1 the godot engine proposal. Being a musician in "real life" I think there is still so much potential for interacting with sound and music in Godot. I hope they will add more functions in the next updates. :)
Good luck on your journey with Godot!
Wow, I can not thank you enough!! Thank you so much for sharing this video, this is really, really helpfull!! Seeing someone figuring out how everything works just reminds me how much I am in my own head when I make something, and that some interactions that seem really obvious to the programmer might be really hard to catch as a first time player and vice versa.
Haha, and I really think the audioloops could use some more work as well - I ran a bit out of time and really would have liked to have a few days to really make tham match each other better. :) So good feedback, thank you!
Hey, a fellow music game developer! I make sure to check out your game as well! Thank you for giving the jukebox a try! :)
