Track description | Creative process
Started building in garage band. Goal was to do more of a remake but it turned out more of a blend of a remake and demake. After getting the basic layout down I pulled the stems into bandlab (That was a learning experience on it's own) to add fx and some light mastering.

Really liked the vibes this had! 

Only little "nitpick" I got, was that the track had me feeling that it's building to a big bombastic heavy section with more stuff added on top of the base parts, so I felt a bit disappointed when only some more percussion stuff came shortly in the end. This might just be a preference thing tho, so take with a grain of salt😅.

Nice one!

Hey Eetu! I appreciate your feedback :) I think it's a great point and really has me wanting to do a v2 now. I'll keep you updated if I do. Thanks again!

Simple and effective, but a bit too loud in some parts. I think you have a good base to add more variations and other instruments or effects to give it more movement, but you nailed the theme, well done!

Developer

Thank you! I greatly appreciate the feedback as well. :)

I like how you play with the rhythm in this, it reminds me a lot of the strong rhythm in a lot of Mario soundtracks!

The simplicity also fits the theme well and the bassline gives a real underground vibe. Well done!

Cool take with the rythmic cut, feels like an odd rythmic signature time but at the same time feels straight too. Like the vibe, good job.
