I liked the melody in this one. Gave a good vibe to the track.

I really enjoyed this composition! I think it was crafted well and I really appreciate how you could repeat a short simple melodic theme and kept it fresh and interesting the entire track through instrumentation and harmonic progressions! I was getting some Super Nintendo timbre vibes on your instruments but like you matured them up quite a bit! The voices sounded great! Also on your bass voice in the first half it sounded more like the Sega Genesis (Master System), were you creating some voices in FM synthesis?! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent cohesion and compositional skills in general. I love the dynamics. I am getting BOTW vibes or perhaps even Kirby: the Crystal Shards. Great use of arpeggios. That flute sound with the slight vibrato is trippy. 

Overall a very impressive, engaging, and professional-sounding composition.

I would have liked to know more about the game concept.

This is a very interesting interpretation of the theme to put your forest in a winter-y snowscape. This is a really beautiful composition and is quite unique. The pianos you used really help sell the forest atmosphere of your track. The chiptune sound gives that melody a cold but familiar sound which makes this feel like a nostalgic winter theme. There are some really interesting chromatic parts that add some energy to the piece in the middle, giving it a little bit of a jazzy flair which I really like. I also think that your metric modulation is really creative and adds to the contrasting middle section of the track. This is a really creative piece - great job and thank you for sharing!

haha that’s awesome! I definitely just finished playing the first two chapters of Deltarune so the influence is there! And then the sound from super Mario world “forest of illusion”  is in the middle so you nailed it!
