This feels upbeat and fun, and very determined! I can definitely imagine an arcade game where you're climbing up and down (or skiing?) mountains and fighting yetis to this! For me personally, some parts feel like they go too long without a resolution/like too many phrases end on a question mark or dissonant note, which may have been the effect you wanted - it leads to a sense of tension for sure. Cool little retro tune overall!

This is so groovy! Wow. But I love it. Good work. I like the style and 2d platformer style music you got here.

Listening to this, I imagined a pixelated winter, but not a cold and heavy one - it’s more of an energizing, refreshing kind of cold. The music feels like a brisk, lively journey through the snow, full of movement and excitement. It’s uplifting, full of life, and gives you the feeling that anything is possible on this journey. Unique indeed!

Love how groovy this is, chugging along in the snow with a mostly-upbeat-but-sometimes-mysterious attitude. I think putting in another section that brings the energy down just a little bit (like subbing out the lead for a floaty pluck or taking out the drums for a few bars) could help break it up some more and keep that energy staying as fresh as possible. That's by no means a rule or anything, just an idea of something to mess around with because everything here is very cool! It's a very fun submission great work! :)

ty! and I remember going over this decision too; mix it up for a more dynamic piece? have the same textures and dynamics all the way bc so much of a trek thru a snowstorm is featureless, exhausting; one mile looks and feels like the next one which looks and feels like the last one? the most tempting change, even beyond instruments and textures, was doing a metric modulation, which I ultimately didn't; I just couldn't! this artwork felt like it had to have smth really steady; the skier feels absolutely determined to keep the pace

I really love that you went with Chiptune for this, props on that. one thing I would point out is that there is a lot going on in your low end which is making that harmony a bit muddy but other than that props to you it was fun to listen to Great Work :)
