I like that you were able to create such a varied assortment of tracks for different scenarios. My main point of feedback is regarding the development of the individual pieces themselves, which I feel could use more extreme tonal/textural shifts and more distinct ‘B sections’. Still, it’s impressive that you composed and recorded everything with a single synth, let alone a hardware synth. Nice work on this soundtrack!

Description
In the land called Lortanis, the cyber revolution led to bots eventually overrunning and terminating the human race. The bots however were not self sustainable so in the end they ended up vanishing as well from the face of the planet. Eventually, all that was left were plants and in the space that the lack of civilization left behind, plants are becoming sentient.
Tales of Leaves is a 2D Metroidvania Platformer which tells the story of Leafy, one of the first sentient plants in its journey from Leaf to full-grown Tree and it’s fight for survival in desolate Lortanis.
This soundtrack was made as part of OST Composing Jam 9 meaning it was fully composed, recorded and edited within the span of a week. As an additional challenge to myself I've also made the entire soundtrack using a single synth, the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis. I've used no outside samples or effects so everything you hear is using the Mega Synthesis chip, with the exception of my own voice that can be heard during the intro track.
