Thought the sub was a bit loud at certain points, but still an enjoyable track overall. It has this progressive feeling like it'd urge the player to keep moving through. The alarm at 1:59 caught me off guard haha.

  • Really <3 the A-section, B-section, and bridge, which is neat because that's the song
  • In another life you could've been a synth-pop artist

Oh it just makes you wanna move! Or beat up some pixelated hoodlums i guess. Exceptionally groovy

Very groovy! It's also kinda cool how you went for kind classical harmony for some of the harmony, it makes it seem like every harmonic change is massive and it's very nice. The production is pretty good, although there are a few tiny hiccups (like the alarm clock that is panned hard right and could've maybe used a little more work, because it was a little irritating), and overall this is a pretty enjoyable track!

Good job!

The bass and percussion create such a nice groove to vibe to. The ticking clock and the alarm sound effects give a sense of story and emotional drive to your piece that keeps it from feeling stale. I really appreciate the nuanced percussive details that are sprinkled in throughout which add interest to your music overall. Good work and thank you for sharing!

I love the sort of rhythmic confusion that goes on around the minute mark, it's one of my favorite things when a song isn't clear where its upbeat and downbeat is. I enjoyed the detuned clock chimes that came in in the second half as well.

The bass is excellent

I thought it was a loop, but no, there's another, more melodic part at 2'00" (my favorite part).

A very good piece of synthwave!

Cool synth bass and accompanion melody, but missing some... more disctintive lead melody... but for BGM is probably more suited this way.... nice job.

Submitted

Synthwave indeed. Maybe missing a bit more ear-candy and beep boops.

For me, it is kind of a more modern sounding coin-op ghame from the late 80s or early 90s - which in my book is an awesome thing, being a retro nerd.

Nice soundscape throughout the track!

Really fits the name "Time Attack", kind of makes me think of a racing game or endless runner. Clock ticks helped fit it to the theme even more. Nice work!

Some really great instruments here. I love that bass synth. The different instruments blend nicely. That simple melody with the syncopated bass line is awesome. Might be my favorite beat I've heard so far. Clock percussion was a little jarring/distracting at times but the whole thing is very effective.  Thanks for making and sharing.
