The main theme sounds really epic when it comes in near the beginning.  Some nice changes in vibe as it progresses.  Ies pecially liked the little sequence from about 2:19 to 2:30.

Cool track! I dig the variety of rhythmic change ups, particularly the 3:33 transition into the slower bop.

I am SO stoked to hear something SOOOOO oldschool chiptuny coming from the M8. This sounds like such a great limitation to give yourself (4 channels Pu1Pu2WavNoi, no samples, no FX, all patches made from scratch using wavsynth).
I might steal the idea and run with it for the next entry.
Anyways, back to your actual submission: LOVELY tune! Really gave me strong NES shinobi-climbing-up-walls-and-shooting-ninja-stars-at-baddies vibes. At times it feels like more of a parade-march song, which brings an even stronger sense of urgency. This would be a GREAT soundtrack for a platformer or beat 'em up game. Great job. I'd LOVE to see the bundle for this one to see how you got some of those crunchy sounds and articulations. If you do decide to publish it, please do let me know!

This is like a hero's theme. Always impressed by your waveform manipulation!

This felt something like Dragon Warrior -> Mega Man -> River City Ransom -> Any Closing Credits. Nice authentic sounding journey from my childhood! Nice track!

Great composition skills. Love the transitions in between the different parts of the track, everything flows very well.

Lots of different ambiances packed on only 4 mins, this is quite the journey.

And nostalgia is strong with those sounds choices.

nice one, I like the use of swing and volume accents! very sick when the beat drops.

Your work is so good, do you have music available for purchase somewhere? Thank you!

The slides and vibratos just make all the difference. It's insane to pick up a tune that's 25+ I wonder how many WB participants are younger than this tune

Absolutely nailed the vibe, you won't find me splitting hairs over the faithfulness to any particular chip Really nice cutting basses in particular. AWESOME rhythm work. Both of those tempo changes slay.

I'm gonna agree with my other self and say it's great, tho the differences between the two are barely noticeable unless you play them side by side
This one's definitely better, because I did exactly that

Amazing track and absolutely nails the NES game music vibe, that tempo increase really threw me back to the megaman times. So much going on and it all really sounds good, no wonder you ran out of chains!

This is awesome! I really love the variation thats here - loads going on but so much space to hear everything clearly! The percussion is fabulous! The articulations really make a difference. Real old school vibes!

Another awesome track from you! The part at 3:09 made me double-take lol. Had to rewind that section several times .

Oof, it always sucks when you run out of phrases on a song. My cover of Thriller ran into that problem and it's so tedious to unravel lol.

Dig the heroic theme early on and like how it picks up as if the title screen just wiped away to reveal the main character coming in on horseback   Those individual synths that pan around back and forth, up and down sound extra nice.  'splash-splash-badda-dup-dup-da-dah" yais!
