    Marku, this would be an excellent theme for an RPG when the character finally beats the BOSS!

    Interesting piece, a fun listen. Kind of reminded me of Christmas for some reason. Who knows?
     
    You might look around :50 - :60, is the bass coming in just a hair early on those hits?
     
    thanks for the share,
     
    cheers,

    Nice piece for a game or to celebrate with. Also the opening melody sounds little like Beethoven Ode to joy LOL But it works because gives a very nice joyfulness. Very nice!

    This is a very pleasing mix -- the sound is well balanced and keeps the listener's interest.  Good job !!

    this sounds very old-fashioned as there is no movement in any of the sounds - no panning or delay or arpeggiation. this may be deliberate but it is weird. the piece as it is sounds like a demo base and as such is clean and clear

    That's an earworm .. simple, repetitive, monotone, sticks easily to the ear....

    Definitely has that early game vibe to it, I can see what you want to achieve but I also hear what Mark is saying, just a little ear candy of the type Mark mentions would make that ear worm even more memorable.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi wookie
    thanks for the listening and tips.
    Yeah, adding few sound hooks to tracks  may do this more catchy...
