Track description | Creative process
Tried to stay as true as possible to the original, so used only 4 monophonic tracks and used the original soundfont.
Then made it a lil extra :)

Super nice track! The melody at the beginning of the track makes me think about Sly Cooper, but the track itself fits the theme very well.

Cool track, fits the theme well, classic NES sounds without being boring.

Really true to the original sound, I think it fits very well the game, well done!

Those starting chords really give me a castlevania vibe, which isn’t bad considering that has similar vibes to the underground. I think the inverted colors you picked for the cover art really describes the vibe of the music, it has a sinister and kind of dissonant feeling to it that would fit the real underground levels.

Well done with keeping to the original limitations!

The intro and bass helped connect this to the OG track. Cool bassline. This really feels like it would fit in an alternative version of the OST. Nice work!

i appreciate the direction you went with this, especially liking that main melody line and the transition section around 0:44, but I think even within the limitations of the NES you may be able to do a bit more to make the song more engaging, because sometimes I to me some of the parts just don't mesh together as well as I'd like to, the bass on the drum track seems to clash with the melody instruments a lot, and in the second time you go through that main melody it feels a bit jarring how it goes back and forth from the melody and more counter melody lines and unison, on top of really sharp and aggresive articulation sometimes. I see what you were going for, but I think it just didn't vibe with me as much as I was hoping it would. Still, I think you did an overall fine job on this, working within the nes restrictions is really hard so kudos to you for making something good from it!

Good vibes, I totally imagined this track in the game, well done !

Cool stuff, like that you respected the actual limiation of the NES, feels underground with the bass line.
