I used Celeste as the lead instrument, with a happy bright active vibe for Star Town time. ("Celeste" is from the latin root word referring to the heavens, and is associated with stars!)

Very fun and nice track. I really enjoyed the melody and the arpeggiated accompaniment. Great work!
Thank you for listening!
I really like the upbeat and fast-paced nature of this track. It fits your visuals well! I like the added component of interactivity with the chimes that play when you collect the stars that add to the music. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! The star chime sound is me hitting a cocktail glass, with the pitch jittered randomly. But now I'm wondering if it would be cooler to have the pitches match the scale of the song? :)
Lovely music. You added cowbell, and as Christopher Walken would say, “The only prescription is more cowbell.”
A small mixing note: the bass is a little too loud; you can hear it during the bridge with the sustained notes (around 1:00).
Well done for adding a mini game! How creative!
Thanks for listening! For this jam I was trying out a new tool that I don't think has an envelope option, and very few mixing options. It's a cute little online chiptune maker: https://www.beepbox.co/ Not sure whether I'll use it again, but I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting started messing around with chiptunes without having to download anything.
Yes, I've seen people use this tool during jams before, but the result wasn't as good. For such a limited tool, you've done a great job!
that was fun! enjoyed the entire piece, game and all. great job!!!
Thank you!
Really nice!
Thanks!
Really cool that you made a little mini game for it!
I also quite liked your track, its very happy and cutesy and definitely fits the start town theme^^
Just when I thought that little repeating melody is getting a bit much, there was the calmer part which i quite enjoyed. Well done :)
Thank you! Since I don't have a YouTube or Soundcloud to put it on, embedding it here in a game seemed like the simplest way to make it streamable :)
I got 258 stars, very fun (also very nice music)
That's a lot of stars! Thanks for giving it a play/listen :)
