[~[Beryllium]~]

It was very chill and pretty, made me space out a bit and then I didn't realize the song ended haha. I like the main lead, it's pretty fun and simple, keeping the song easy listening. The title along with the song also makes me think of a visual of continuously zooming in to square Beryllium crystals lol. Keep up the great work :)

Dude this is sick what
I love the energy in this, its so danceable, and the progression is so funky and fun! It feels very interesting from beginning to end and it keeps changing up. The instruments you used are also so cohesive and work so perfectly together, it's kinda chiptuney but modern at the same time and I love it. Keep up the amazing work, this is so awesome!!

bro 😭😭 i am so pleased to hear this, ty for support

[MarkRuff21 - Space Ghosts (2025 Rework)]

Man, this is great music to zone out to. There are parts that change throughout the song, but the ones that instill repetition kinda make me feel calm and relaxed. The steady percussion and bass also helps with that. The piano and pads play really pretty chords and it does sound pretty spacey, while the pluck that plays the arp sounds ghosty so I think the title fits perfectly haha. Great work, keep it up!

MarkRuff21 responds:

Thank you so much!! :D

[Unofficial - Drift's Theme]

I dunno, this sounds pretty sick especially for an unofficial theme haha
But yeah this was pretty cool, energetic, and kept changing up and progressing to keep itself interesting. I like the main lead instrument that appears in the beginning and around the middle again, it's grungey and makes the song sound futuristic for sure. Great stuff, keep it coming :)

[Swingin']

The beginning reminded me of some Mario ds minigame music for some reason haha, but I also really liked the whole thing! After the small hihat intro, it sounds very beautiful, original, and calm. But most of all happy and dancey too! I love the instruments you chose to use, and the progression is nothing but cheery. I felt really warm listening to this. Great work, keep it up :D

SiriiuX responds:

i really appreciate the feedback man, i'm glad you liked it! thank you :D

[~[Helium]~]

I like more "lively" ambient music like this sometimes :)
It's not like it's energetic, but it has a nice steady beat and some percussion while also having beautiful ambient swells and accents. I like your use of strings, and that electric piano instrument that plays the main riff. The break was also really nice and gave some change of pace for the song. Great work, hoping to see more from you!

DeimosMusic responds:

Thank you! Happy to hear that.

Sometimes pouring your feelings into your work can really help. I hope you're doing well. As for the track itself though, it's short but very beautiful. The percussion is nice and crisp, but also unique in the pattern and instruments you used. The guitar chords are also really pretty, and the accent instruments are great. Keep up the great work :)

SAGEGREEN86s responds:

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I guess pouring feelings into my work is better than pouring coffee on my laptop like I did yesterday. I’m doing okay, mostly avoiding tech disasters and existential crises.

Glad you enjoyed the track despite its short attention span, kind of like me at a buffet. Appreciate you noticing the percussion and guitar too, those instruments are the only ones I can keep from breaking so far. Will keep trying to turn my emotional mess into music, so stay tuned for more chaotic vibes ひ

[325]

I like it :)
It's calm and peaceful, something really nice to listen to after just waking up a few minutes ago haha. I see you tagged it as sad and I can see that too, probably depends on how you look at it and what mood you come in to listening to the song. It's cool sometimes how you can make something sound unique with just one instrument, even when there's not a lot going on, and if anything that's one of the things that makes it beautiful. Keep up the great work!

[The Electronic Ocean]

Woah, this is really beautiful... I usually don't really listen to songs with vocals in them, but I really like this one. It's a combination of beautiful instrumentation on the base track, with so many accents here and there (like an arp before the temporary slow down/quiet part of the song), and then a very prominent and rich voice that covers such a wide range. This song also keeps hitting me with surprises, like the beautiful polyphony before the dubsteppy break towards the end of the song. I think you both did an amazing job at this, maybe you can even do more together in the future! Keep it up :D

IndexatioN responds:

Thanks a lot. I think we'll be experimenting with this style in the near future :)

[Nature]

Oh yeah this would 100% fit in a platformer. I love everything about it! From the energy and atmosphere, to the instruments and effects you used, and everything in between. It varies up throughout so it doesn't get too repetitive or boring, while keeping the same chord progression which helps instill some kind of action. The percussion is lively and fun, and especially jumpy, which is perfect for a platformer. There's a ton of other things I can say about this I feel haha but amazing work, keep it up!!!
