[Feeeeeever]

Definitely very punchy, and I can totally see this play out on some boss fight. It's very exciting and full of energy, and the rhythm makes it feel like you're running out of time or are in imminent danger. The instrumentation is also really good, I'm always surprised when people manage to make chiptune sound so varied! Great work as always, keep it up :)

whoa much thanks master!

[Granny Ambience]

Granny sounds a little frightening today lol

But honestly this is some pretty good ambience. It's creepy and well timed, and very atmospheric. Keep it up!

[Electric Dash]

So bouncy! The progression on this is awesome and exciting, and you have so many great instruments and textures. Mixing is also super well done here. The atmosphere is kind of sunset-y, and also even a bit nostalgic. From beginning to end this just sounded awesome. Keep up the amazing work!!

[Cats drink milk]

This was cute! Kind of had a goofy little atmosphere to it, which definitely fits wit the cat theme. I liked the soft synth you used for the melody, and the percussion was simple and fitting. Good work, keep it up!

Thanks B)

[Guardian Angel]

This was really beautiful. I liked the saxophone throughout, and all the other instruments just kind of created this pretty and fancy atmosphere that was also calming and spacious at the same time. It kind of feels like I can just drift off to this to sleep because of how relaxing it is. The song also just feels good in general, I dunno, happy and free kinda if that makes sense. I just love it a lot, great work and keep it up!!!

[Lucky Boy]

Has a bit of an 80s pop feel to it, but also a lot of VGM. I love it! It has a happy, light melody and just a warm fuzzy feeling overall. Kind of like drifting off on a green field in the summer at noon or something, just a really calm atmosphere. I like the different instruments you chose, especially the plucks, piano, and percussion. Keep up the great work as always :D

Thank you. Yeah I was thinking its great to be alive to smell the flowers and I thought how lucky I am to be on the planet at this point in time. I don't think Id want to be anywhere else.

[Shooting Stars]

Amazing once again! The progression really varies up the song while you still manage to maintain this very tranquil atmosphere throughout, filling it with beautiful strings and pads. The lead instruments you used were really mellow, which are a perfect fit for the existing mood of the song. The mixing was also really well done to further nail the atmosphere down. And all the effects you added like the reverb fit amazingly to give off the theme of space. Great work as always, keep it coming!

[Abraded]

Funky! This song just sounds silly with all the wobbliness going on, but it's very fun and playful. I love how you also used a mallet instrument, it helped increase the brightness of the song and make it chirpy and happy. And to top it off, the bass was really fitting and helped give an extra punch to the song. Great work, keep it up!

Visungg responds:

I honestly love the descriptions the you give, thanks a lot!

[orange factory]

Nice energy in this track! Very good crisp mixing, impactful bass and awesome lead. It sounds like an intense car chase or something, or an action scene in some factory. Could honestly work perfectly in some kind of game as well. Keep up the great work!

VinKey responds:

Thanks bro :)

Another great song! This one sounds dark and gloomy but also has an energetic and explorative punch. The vocals make it sound spooky and ethereal, and the piano really helps maintain a steady rhythm with the drums. I also like the usage of the strings as it really helps create good suspense. Great work once again, keep it coming!
