AMAZING. Throughout the whole soundtrack the circus vibe is present, but tracks vary very much, complimenting their meaning. Percussion is outright peak. Also ENA vibes throughout the whole soundtrack. The submission page is the best out of everything I've seen on the jam. My favorite would probably be Tricks, Facade or Your Happy Ending, both are peak in their respective ways.
One of the best album for Jam 8! I think the choice of sound and the composition are both effective for this genre. Like the percussive element in 'Tricks facade'. Great work!
ENA mentioned. 😩😩😩
Amazing music. Amazing lore. Amazing Jam page. What more is there to say lmao. Absolute banger of a submission. I think the style and soundscape among all tracks are very cohesive. I love that you have thorough concept art of the game as well.
Also, I just saw that BOSSBEAT is becoming real!? That's like so awesome!?
If this is rushed I can only imagine what you make when you aren't crunching. This is genuinely fantastic in every way. My biggest compliment I can give is that this OST would make me want to buy this game just off the OST alone. Also helps that I like anything involving cults or clowns. That last track through me for a loop in the best way possible, very cool switch up. Overall everything kept my ear and the quality on display is phenomenal, good work :o)
This is NASTY (complimentary)
Love the somewhat deranged Spamton-esque vibe. I can clearly picture the mad chaos of this game. Wall to wall bangers.
Production value-wise it's a clear standout too!
its aight
jk gang its peak
I can't remember if I said the same thing about y'all's crunchtime submission but the percussion especially is like 3AM ice cold water. So many things happening all the time and it just works. Man, I'm gonna be thinking about this one on and uh, on and o- uh, and, and uh on and um hmm on an
(hey i didnt post this comment twice on accident btw. hey. hey man)
holy attention to detail... yall always make submissions that feel like actual games, especially with the attention given to your project page. yall gotta do ts for money already
gullible MORONS..... veryvery nice introductory track!!! loving the timbre of your instrumentation here, very intentional and well-thought out. loving the recognizable melodic line and the development of the bass! the dissonant guitar is a nice touch as well!
love the battle theme in the second track!!! a recognizable motif that develops throughout the track. well executed and nicely done!!!
wait this third track is so silly i adore... the simplicity is nice, and the instrumentation here is just as well executed - keeping things interesting despite the repetitive bassline ostinato. this is so me when i tap my foot and check my watch
ooo hello circus!!! i like the voiceline clips here! i like how it builds up to the more intense part of the track with more variation in the percussion and melodic line. truly feels like a circus theme! makes me feel silly and goofy
delusional MORONS..... this serves as a nice introductory track to the boss theme. i like how it serves a similar purpose to your first track while providing some nods to it as well. i'm noticing the use of the voice clip loop here as well. i really like these smaller and more subtle uses of lietmotifs and nods to previous tracks! well done!
tricks, facade, is a really nice boss track! again, i can appreciate the nods to the previous tracks laced in here! the arpeggiating melody is nice to hear as well! i like the trumpet's melody that gets interjected by from the more percussive section. the main theme is super nice and filled with dissonance! goodgood nicely executed!
oh wow the ending is super evil i dont feel joyous ... with the detuned lietmotifs (if im hearing it correctly) serving as a melody line here in a more distorted environment, im def under the impression we were the evil ones all along ... really fitting end track, though!!! a lot of thought was put into this final track!
overall this was a very nice OST to listen to! definitely takes the listener on a journey - storytelling on point! yall did a rly nice job thanks for sharing :DD
Very cool submission! Quite dig the sound choice of you three. It feels somewhere between retro and modern but captures that mischievous vibe of your game very well. And who doesn’t love a haunted carnival?
Also seeing not two but three artist/composers working together is simply amazing and also needs its own praise, since working with multiple artists mostly leads to comprises. Or as one says, the soup is ruined by multiple cooks. But this soup just tastes right!
Very nice job!
this is sooo sick!!!such a vibe through and through. love the drum, production, and compositions on this project! great work! that intro sound on the first track is so sick! i think they are like bamboo wind chimes? whatever they are they really peaked my interest even though they got like nothing to do with the rest of the track haha.
my favorite tracks have to be gullible morons, heavy human traffic, and your happy ending
great work over all here! such a great cohesive and full soundtrack!
Super well crafted soundtrack and perfectly encapsulates the way you guys interpreted the theme
Nothing but absolute quality coming from you and your team, was super impressed by Bossbeat from OST7 and this honors it well. Good work Pix!
Gullible Morons was good and all, but that Team (jam entry here) vibe I was looking for really hit during Out Of My Way!
The sounds in Heavy Human Traffic were really funky with the little clicks all around. Did those represent something specific?
The only thing I can think of when I hear that vocal sample used in Unethical Entertainment is Omori. I liked the melody a lot!
The way Delusional Morons led directly into Tricks, Facade was super cool. Unfortunately, My Realm of the Mad God brain could only hear the sorcerers tower theme in the beginning with the 4 note melody.
Your Happy Ending reminded me of songs from FNAF games like Secret of the Mimic.
Overall, I do think bossbeat was slightly better. I'm not saying this was bad in the slightest, it was really good! I would say my favorite was Out Of My Way because that's the style I really really like! Out Of My Way was kind of like an improved version of the Unwwwelcome OST. Where in that one, the best track took a while to really get going, this one starts right away at 100%
I'm still an Astrological head June 21st truthmaxxer so 0 stars all around tbh ngl fr fr no cap
i agree. bossbeat was better
I love the vocal samples, the beats are so groovy, incredible production. But it's pix's team so no surprise that it's a banger lol. The time sig change at tricks, facade is INSANeee. I love the bitcrushed clicks and pops in it. Please just go make a game and you'll become Bill Gates or something with all the music and art skills you have
we would make it a full game but we would go bankrupt immediately 😇 thanks though!!!!
eclectic while also tonally consistent. one of the most upbeat and fun things i've heard so far in this jam. really interesting take on the theme. favorite: delusional morons. thanks for sharing :)
Wow it only got crazier as it went on. The first track alone is a banger
IM really astounded with the number of tracks and quality. This style of music is so much fun and hearing all these little ear candy bits all over the place. Incredible work! There is so much personality saturating the tracks from jazzy horns to little bytes of sound poking in and out
I really like heavy human traffic the most, somehow reminds me of No More Heroes soundtrack
Fun soundtrack, I liked unethical entertainment the most! Nice work :)
Insane as always, guys. Very based.
- on glob 🌵
holy shit this is super good. really creative entry, i didn't expect the calm and sweet prompt to be turned into something crazy and hectic (and awesome like this) and yet it works and it fits so well.
