Hey! I'm so glad to see your comment. Ironically, your track was one of the first (if not the first) I listened to, haha. I really liked your bassline idea at the beginning. It seems we had very similar ideas for that part. I also really enjoyed your motivic development, especially around 1:30. I loved your melodic hooks; they sound memorable, and that's a quality I always try to achieve in my own tracks.
If I had to point out one thing, it would just be the reverse cymbal, which sounded a bit too loud to my ears. But if your intention was to make it feel like a surprising dash from the opponent, I think you nailed it—the first time I heard it, I was genuinely shocked, haha. And about my track... You hit the nail on the head! I was planning to return to verse 1, rearrange the song with the return of the chorus, and finally bring in a very subtle hint of the Freedom Motif (everything was set up in that ending). So yeah, I had bigger plans for the track, but time was pretty cruel to me ^^
In a way, it was great participating in this jam. The time limit forced me to make quicker decisions based on feeling rather than logic. Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback and the time you took to write it! I wish you the best of luck in this Jam and in your future ones as well.
