[SunnYz - Senso (NASHqp Prologue)]

Definitely sounds hopeful! Just generally sounds pretty magical and emotional. The mallet instrument you used was very good for starting, and the strings were articulated in a great way to build up emotion and tension. The introduction of arps also felt tingly and exciting. Great work on this, keep it up!!

[WATERFALL]

Beautiful flow :)
The structure really does make the song feel like a waterfall. Just intense as well, and also shiny, which I like! The bass you chose for this is really good, and the pattern on it is super fitting. The percussion also really helps increase the hype, and the pads make the song sound spaced out and ethereal. Amazing work, really love this! Keep it up :D

[AFTERDEATH]

This sounds so sick! So much energy, wobblyness, and definitely intensity rising over the top. It sounds like a final boss, as it has so much menacing build up, but also feels like you're almost there with the relief the song provides. It's very emotional and dramatic, yet happy at the same time because you feel you're about to win. Great composition, and amazing progression, keep up the awesome work!!

[Cabin Tour]

Nice and cozy, simple and fun :)
I like the guitar and descending chords in the background, it fits pretty nicely with a drowsy mood. Only thing I'd suggest is just a little bit more variation, but what you have already is pretty nice! Great work, and keep it up :D

Pretty cool and unique mix! I don't think I ever heard DnB mixed with Latin Jazz, but I like what came out of it. There is a lot of good energy built up, and the breaks are really cool to hear especially over acoustic instruments like the guitar and piano. It feels like there's a lot of action packed into it which gives it a very exciting mood. Great work, keep it coming!

[Lunar Picnic]

You kick off very well with a emotionally happy start, and pretty soon after delve into a very great spaced out atmosphere. And then later, with a little bit of percussion, it feels complete even with not too much going on. I really like how that worked out! Also the guitar is amazing, it feels very naturally articulated and timed. It kind of adds to the passion of the song if you know what I mean. Great and beautiful work, keep it up!!

I don't know how "dancy" I feel this song is, but it's definitely a very unique atmosphere and mood. The beginning was interesting as it felt like it was leading into something mysterious and dark, and then later it kind of does but with a lot of unexpected beautiful harmony and a large element of space added in. I really liked your instrument choice as I felt it not only worked together but fit very well to create this interesting mood. Great work, keep it up :D

thank you so much!! :)

[Keep On Marching]

Doing this on FL Mobile is honestly super impressive! It really sounds like something from an intense section of a videogame. It's also full of heart and the way you use your strings is amazing. The piano parts are also full of passion, and everything just comes together beautifully. Awesome work, keep it up!

Thank you so much!

[Rocko and Jack]

Another goofy song :D
I like the articulation on the harmonica, it sounded so natural! Honestly I'd be surprised if it wasn't naturally recorded and was like a VST or something haha. The beat really fit well with the melody, and the melody itself is just goofy and fun to listen to. Reminds me of some early 2000s era cartoons for some reason lol. Great work once again, keep it coming!
