[When the World was snowed under]

Very pretty and mysterious! A little ethereal too. The instruments you picked definitely feel like they fit snow, and the pads make thing feel very gentle and soft. I also love the shakes/noise sound effects you use. Keep up the great work!

FLAVOUR-STAR responds:

Thanks :D

[A Particularly Strong Foe]

Love the energy in this! Definitely sounds threatening but also full of action and excitement. The chiptune instruments are very crisp, the progression is adventurous and bountiful, and the timing of everything is great. Oh, and it loops very nicely too. Great work on this, keep it coming!

[Breakcorist00 - eleven29]

This sounded very mellow, spaced out, and relaxing. I definitely enjoyed :)

I like the synth you chose, and the effects layered in the song. A good amount of reverb, good bass, and very fitting percussion. The flow is also very nice and helps with the whole spaced out feeling. Great work, keep it up!

[Nibiru]

I came in expecting something more scary sounding (especially since I usually associate dark ambient with more intense/suspenseful things), but this track actually sounds kind of magical and relaxing. I really like it! The variety of articulation on the strings is amazing, and the dynamics are very well done. The instruments you chose made this song sound really grand and impending too. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Thanks for listening and the feedback, Octopus

[{dj-N} Banga Torakku]

I remember hearing your songs over a decade ago and really enjoying them, I come back today to hear a new song from you and it sounds just as awesome :)
I love the classic house vibe, all the warm sounding instruments, and just the funky groove you put in here. The mixing is great, and the chords are so pretty. Keep up the awesome work!!

[A Reason to Dance]

Damn this instantly feels dancey, I love it! The buildup is great, and there's just so much funkiness to it all. The brass makes the song pop and sound so vibrant! It feels like this would play during some kind of fancy or dancy walk through a city. The percussion you picked is top notch and works with everything so well! Everything just works together super well here honestly. Sounds awesome, keep up the great work!!

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you!!

[FALSE GODS]

This definitely sounds menacing and threatening, I think you did a really good job on conveying that emotion. Also sounds very grand. I like the slow evolution of the melody, as it draws out the suspense, and the sage of strings was top notch. Great work, keep it up :D

[Rush the Fray (Combat Music)]

Very full and beautiful! It just feels like you cover so many ranges with this that the song feels luscious and bountiful if that makes sense. I love how every instrument gets its turn to shine, the percussion fits perfectly, and the timing is great on everything. It definitely also suits a combat theme! Amazing work on this in general, keep it up!!

Psyware responds:

I appreciate the thoughtful review, glad you liked it!

[Artch - First Trial]

Звучит супер! Прямо с начало очень красиво и энергично. Мелодия постоянно эволюционирует в чего не будь новое и прекрасное. Динамика отличная, и миксинг очень профессионально звучит. В общем трек классный, так держать!!

Gl1tchMe responds:

Спасибо, мне очень приятно! :)

[Marianz - The Journey Begins]

This is so awesome! It sounds like one of those orchestra warmup things at first but with such a powerful kick and an epic melody. It makes me feel like I'm soaring haha. Amazing stuff, keep it up :D

ElMarianz responds:

Thanks dude, that was exactly the feel i wanted to give when listening to this track, so glad to see that it worked. Thanks man!!
