Nice chiptune approach for this jam, the structure is good and it gets pretty addictive. You also introduced melody development, which is good and keeps the track from getting tiring to listen at.
Now what I think lacks most in your track is melody impact. Your melody doesn't seem to have a clear direction, and seems sort of random at moments, and the overall track hardly builds any tension or emotion related to battle or a weapon. I'd recommend introducing other harmony elements or other instruments, although I'm not that well versed in chiptune to say for sure what would be best here.
Keep up the good work!
Melody clarity 5/5
Melody impact 1/5
Composition 3/5
Listenability 2/5 (The track is very repetitive overall)
Correlation to theme 1/5
Thank you for the input! I'm still fairly new to making music, so I'm glad you've laid all this out
It has a chiptune-like feel and a really fun vibe. The music is quite addictive and very enjoyable to listen to :)
Ahhhh, thank you so much!
Not sure why but the streaming service link seems to redirect to a mailto: url ?
Huh... Interesting. It's nothing malicious, I assure you. Heres the same link, but you might need to copy/paste yourself. I think Itch is just posting the link weirdly

This one redirects to your channel. Although I was able to find your submission, please share the video directly in the future. I'll give you the feedback in a second!
Good overall submission, i like the chiptune vibes, tho i dont often listen to ts kinda music. There is a cool melody and it actually fits that whole vibe. But i think it kinda gets repetitive over the span of the track. Still great and unique submission, and yeah i love it, great job!
Thank you! Was trying to fit into Pico 8's limitations
Chiptunes :) Sounds pretty unique. BTW did you make this using a tracker?
Yeah, I used PSDJ on my Miyoo Mini Plus
Haha that's a fun work, I like it :) I can feel you enjoyed creating it. Nice a bit spooky vibe!
Yessss, I had way too much fun with the music!
There seems to be no way to listen to this via streaming services.
Well, I'm pretty sure the streaming service was optional...
It is not. It's in the Submission Checklist - /jam/impressions-composing-jam-season-4-melody-jam
I was a little pressed for time and hadn't been able to post it just yet
