Description
I made this song for a space themed Mario party type game! This song is intended to play while a minigame plays. I imagine this particular mini game would involve trying to stay on your feet and not fall over while a crazy pilot dodges meteors in space.

The song does not loop. If this game was developed the mini game length would be tied to the song length, hence the song getting more fast and intense as it goes on.

The core melody in this track could also work really well as a leitmotif for other minigame songs if this game was developed.

I decided to choose level 2 as I have been feeling very inspired by space recently, and I was really struggling with a concept for a cooking game. I incorporated bonus challenge 2 easily, as the key change (at 1:00) makes the song sound more intense and like the mini game is almost over.



No ai was used in this project!! The track was all produced, mixed, and mastered by me in FL Studio, and I made the cover art in Canva.

Sound wise, I can totally imagine this in a space game. 
The harmonies come across as quite jazzy to me - whether that fits into the game or not will of course depend on the context, but it seems a litte overkill for a short little balance game. 
But then again, it's the kind of complexity that is often missing from modern game OST. Lovely piece.

Thank you for the kind reply and feedback, it really means a lot! I understand what you're saying with the track being overkill, I think i got a bit carried away because i knew it was for a competition haha.

Ah a fellow Canva enjoyer!  Well as far as the song you NAILED the Mario Party vibe, the little drum break/solo where it starts to amp up was very well done imo and that was my favorite aspect of the song!  Good luck!

It's a baking dance party! I like how the melodic ideas are very focused and well scoped, that really allowed all the other parts (esp the drums) to have their time to shine! If there's one thing I'd like to hear in a future revision of this piece is a more balanced loop. As it is now, the repeating element is front heavy, with beat 1 being heavily reinforced. This is where you can get really wild and creative. The lazy 2 minute fix is to introduce something (maybe a snare hit) on beat 2 and 4, but really the possibilities are endless!

All in all well done on a very solid ost to the game, it's refreshing to see an electronic take on the theme!
