This is a little piece I composed/performed using strudel.cc. It roughly follows the chord progression of the OST, but in a more relaxed mood. It's 3 repetitions of an 8-bar phrase: 1. Harp chords (with delay); drums enter on the upbeat into bar 9 2. Drums + bass synth 3. Another repetition The third repetition loops cleanly. The tempo is 120bpm, which means that each repetition is 16 seconds long; thus the loop offset is set to 32 seconds from the start of the piece. #145
The progress on the candy spawner is set so that the candy falls roughly every 2 seconds; since the background music is 120bpm, this means the candy falls on the first beat of every bar, for quite a pleasing effect, though it drifts out of synch after a while. Adjust the text theme so that there is a border matching the background colour around text, which looks better when the falling candy is behind a word than having it be visible through the loop of an O (for example). #145

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work in the web export: the music loops from the beginning. It might work if the node were set to "sample" playback mode, per https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/export/exporting_for_web.html#audio-playback, though looping is not one of the features that is not documented as being unsupported by the "stream" mode.
It would be easier to change the music to loop cleanly from start to finish. The reverb & delay effects on the harp chords make this difficult because the last chords of the end of the phrase can still be heard reverberating at the start of the next repetition.

This makes the main title more interesting & makes it slightly easier to gauge where to put the volume sliders.
