I like the phasing effect at the beginning and the cute synth riff at :15. The minimal, 8-bit drums are nice too, and the bass sits nicely in the mix. If anything, the melody could be a bit more prominent in the texture - maybe some more compression would help, but just don’t overdo it. I appreciate the variation in the lead riff at 1:20 or so, but by 1:30 it gets a bit difficult to follow the contour of the melody. I would’ve also appreciated some variety on the main riff during the final refrain at 1:43. The arrangement of the piece is a bit generic - an additional bridge or solo from a different instrument might give it some extra pizzazz. Overall, I like the sound design, atmosphere, upbeat mood, and melodies. The piece could use some more variety and polish on the mixing, but most of these complaints are minor. Keep at it, ic-koomotey! ^_^
