Wow! Fastwritted song again! A lot of tests and things to do this week but finally i do it!

love these retro sounding melodies :] awesome work!

This is perhaps just a little musing on my part, but the main chord progression here, I-V-vi-iii (or F-C-Dm-Am in chord names) doesn't feel like it fully resolves these mini-phrases. I would put a continuation of four more chords that sounds natural and ends with a C or Bb in this case), or at least a quick, two-beat C chord after two beats of Dm. Of course, chiptune music is a different genre with different rules, but it'd feel a little more resolved in my personal opinion.

That being said, very nice retro sound and spontaneous, cheery melodies! I like the balance on this one, and the development keeps me focused on the track. Good work!

I think it could be argued that chipmusic isn't really a genre but more of a format.  This was a really effective use of the gameboy sound-palette to create a really interesting fist-pumper, I've listened to this song probably 4 or 5 times now.  I really, really like you long-pulse instruments (especially when they get super staccato)

That being said, I really enjoyed this.  Your hard-style bass drum really caught my attention, this song is a real banger mate.  Probably one of the best resolves I've heard placed in a decidedly high-speed  dance song cool

The original meaning of genre was a classification of a grouping of instruments. Mtv ruined that
