Game Description: 

Pond Tales is an imaginary GameBoy RPG about a young boy and the imaginary world he explores by jumping into a pond by his house. Together with his friends, exploration is a non-stop adventure whether it be helping local wildlife or defeating dangerous enemies. Immerse yourself in the laid-back and fun atmosphere of this world while helping our protagonist go on as many adventures as possible! The game's soundtrack is written in an 8-bit style, with one track being an orchestral piece for the game's cinematic/animated trailer.

Track 1 - Cinematic Trailer: I wanted an excuse to practice writing orchestral music so I wrote a piece based on what I imagined a cinematic trailer for the game would look like. I tried to think of the viewer watching the protagonist as he falls into his imaginary world.  I'm still learning how to properly mix and write for different instruments but I wanted this piece to be as sweet and wholesome as possible.

Track 2 - Title Track: The title track that greets you when booting up the game. This game is all about laying back and having a good time, so I tried to show that through this track. All the other tracks use motifs from this one as well (except for the battle track).

Track 3 - Main Town Theme :  A simple tune for the game's main area, like a general overworld theme. This one's not too complicated but I hope it does the job just fine.

Track 4 - Battle Theme: This piece came out way different than I originally imagined it. Nonetheless, I wanted the track to be upbeat and fast without any sense of impending doom. The stakes for this game plot-wise are quite low so battles are just another fun challenge to overcome.

Track 5 - Battle Victory!: A quick little fanfare that plays after a battle is won.
