I thought Koekepan captured the theme and the isolation and had great ambience. Really a rewarding and fulfilling track. Hollow's was oddly haunting.

Really I enjoyed everyone's entry this week. There were a lot of unique sounds and timbres.

Lovely presence, and saw-like lead. It captures slow despair beautifully.

Interesting melody, with decent explorative behaviour matching the title. Very creative work.

Blue Light, Frozen Sight would have ranked higher, with good assembly and well done sound design, but the clubby sound seems to be a bad match for the topic.

1) "Looking for an exit before the Ice Cave Collapses" - Koekepan doesn't fail to deliver on capturing the feeling of cold and eeriness in one track. Very accurate to the description, and arguably the theme itself.

2) "ice cave's eternal echos" - I feel like this connects me to the second picture the most. That percussion reminds me of like a walk, or climb, scaling up an icy cliff. And the instrumentation paints a vast yet contained atmosphere.

3) "Bubbler Explorer" - An interesting melody and cool embellishments. I wasn't really a huge fan of the introduction or its abrupt ending. It does remind me of an in-game track though.

Honourable mention goes to "Blue Light, Frozen Sight", which has a stronger intro, but wasn't really cohesive enough for me.

Though maybe not too related to the theme, "OHC 365 shovel knighty thing" and "Abyssidian" are nice, short pieces; the latter has a good buildup and the piano addition at 0:08 is awesome.

sci: good weirdness in the boc style. Feels cold without being too slow. Good chill.

Forty-Two: another weird entry, with a lot more synths than usual for 42. Wholetone gives it that awkward feeling that fits the theme well.

Koekepan: a good ambient track. The bells are sometimes too loud, but other than that it's good atmosphere.
 

awesum: Forty-Two, Hollow, Koekepan, sci.
good: Arcana, AutomaticJack, jarski, Patashu.
