[Oasis Town]

The description is perfect for the song. The style and atmosphere definitely make the song feel like it came out of an early 2000s rpg, and the instruments only help add onto this. The melody is also really fun and I love the progression throughout the whole song! The melody, harmony and bassline all work super well together. Great work once again, keep it up :)

tysm for listening and giving your thoughts :)

[Calm theme]

Definitely calm, and loungey, I love it :)
The selection of instruments really compliment each other, and the instruments are really well articulated. I just wish it was longer haha. Great work, keep it up!

[Crush]

This sounds so nice! The melody is very happy and exciting, and the combo of instruments you used/when they played in really helped with the happy atmosphere. I like all the different effects you put in here and there too, some of them sound bubbly and joyful. Definitely very dancey too! As always, keep up the awesome work :D

[dorudon]

This does sound like water music, so the title/description is fitting haha. I really like it, it's both chill but could easily be used for some action related sequence (especially the part at 0:35 onwards). The instruments also feel very nice on the ears, they have a nice pop and sound to them. Great work as always, keep it up :D

[heights]

Very relaxing track :)
It has a city at night vibe, which fits both the title you gave the track and the graphic you attached. I really like the instruments you used, and the compression on the main melody as it gave the track a nostalgic kind of feel to it. Chord progression also really helped push the relaxing atmosphere further. Great work once again, keep it up!

Yup, that's the vibe I was going for. I love making easy-listening stuff. Thank you so much for reviewing again!!

[SRDB]

Something about the main melody in this song just sounds really good! It sounds really playful maybe, and just generally happy. I like the instruments you used as they sound really good all together and the percussion creates great energy too. The ending was also really fitting and great. Awesome work, keep it up :D

[Oxygen]

This sounded happy and peppy, I like it :)
I like the mix of chiptune instruments and some other ones like more HQ pads and stuff. The progression and melody were really happy and fun, and the percussion really helped with that too. Everything also sounds nice, punchy and loud. Great work here, keep it coming :D

[Reflective Plains]

Man this sounds so clean, I really like it! The synths sound very good and well mixed, and I love the variety of the ones you use too. Everything feels so pretty and glimmery, and also so calming and relaxing. The song just generally also paints beautiful pictures in my head. I love the progression, and I love the percussion too as it really helps an already great song get a great beat to follow along to. Listening to this also feels pretty nostalgic, not sure why haha. But I think you did an amazing job, great work and keep it coming!!

[pool water]

Ooh I really like the panning that you had around past 30 seconds, it added more fun to an already fun song! I clicked on this song because I was intrigued by the colorful and happy looking thumbnail, and got a song with a pretty fun atmosphere in return which I think is fitting haha. I like how you repeat a melody throughout your song, but layer so much over it here and there that it sounds pretty varied and fun. The instruments you used are also unique and work well together, and the different transitions/phases in your song are pretty cool too. Great experimental track, keep it up!

[Night Road (Zelkio)]

This really would sound great for a low intensity ride through a city at night, and has great retro vibes, love it! I like the instruments you used, and the timing of when they come in as well. The transitions sounded nice too. The atmosphere of the song also has this kind of melancholic and deep feeling to it, which is great for the theme of a city as well. Awesome work, keep it up!
