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!
8-bit game; good songs
Really cool to hear a purely chiptune ost! I'll just say, UNDEAD REMATCH . . . Shave and a haircut . . . If you don't know look it up
I don't know much about composing for chiptune but desert is a banger to me :). Sucks you didn't get to finish :(.
