Checked out a great tune and finished a demo. I feel accomplished for today!

Nice, thanks! smile

Ohhhhhhh nice!  Great lil tune.  I love the Tri-bass on the NES ... it's got such a unique ring about it.  Hats off to you for recording it off the hardware too.  Very carefully shaped noise snare here too... and nice variation in hats too... it's a well put together track.

Rad demo of a game too!  Hope you both dev this further :-)

Thank you for the kind words! The plan is to continue making the game, in which case more tracks will turn up. Famitracker is still a bit outside the comfort zone for making "songs" (as in longer, more varied stand-alone stuff), but I enjoy making these little sountrack tunes. Also looking forward to breaking them up with some sound fx eventually, which will add some automatic variation to the sound stage.

Very cool and funky these game tracks. I suck at new games, so I didn't get far

Thank you! You probably got until the end, it just wasn't very far to get yet.
