those were all really nice!! you've got an amazing grasp on baroque (is it baroque? please correct me if i'm wrong) composition; all of these tracks sound like they'd be AMAZING played on a harpsichord.  of course, the chiptune aesthetic makes the whole thing feel very appropriate for a video game. definitely reminds me of Shovel Knight! very well done my friend :)))

My fav was Romanesca, it was enjoyable and well-written! I always try to lavish my things with sound designs since I'm not too good at letting the melodies speak on their own like you lmao. You clearly know what you're doing composition-wise. Classical and Chiptune make an interesting flavor.

I think "Simplex" was my favorite track. I loved the first Dragon Quest game and there was a lot of ornamental, baroque stylings in that OST, so this brought me back there. I appreciate your uncompromising point of view here as well: no funny business, just baroque chiptunes.

This blend of classical and chiptune is very enjoyable to listen to! Lovely work. :)

Super creative and  very nice to listen to! It's not a lot of times when you get to listen to such classically influenced pieces in video game music!

The idea of making orchestral chiptunes tracks is interesting and well delivered!
