Message from the artist
Picked the normal difficulty, which is making music that has elements that can be listened to both backwards and forwards.

Some synth parts sound the same when reversed. The song itself also uses reverse as part of its composition, even the percussions were straight up reversed around half-way through. Reversed glass breaking sounds are also present.
The intro's percussion rhythm are kind of symmetrical and I tried to convey a feeling of "revolving" throughout the song even if it's not truly palindromic.

Soundtrack-wise, I imagined this to play in a mirror/revolving gimmick level in a turn-based or puzzle game with a dreamy futuristic aesthetic that contains a lot of neon pink! Get it? SIRIS! SIRIS IS ALSO A PALINDROME!!!

love the sound selection on this. despite sharing nothing in common compositionally, the choice of percussion gives me early dubstep/ UK grime vibes (which is a big ups, very nostalgic vibe for me). Mix is absolutely immaculate as well, very clear separation between each element whist still sounding cohesive. Great track overall and can definitely see this fitting comfortably in a puzzle game!

Cool base rhythm. I totally enjoyed your submission!! I think the mood you have created would work incredible for a puzzle game.

The background instrument that plays the long tones is super pretty and is fantastic during the more rhythm focused parts!

I also liked how much variety there was in the song with many distinct sections that kept my attention well!

A great entry all around!

Developer

TYSM! My tracks in previous jams can be repetitive so I spent more time developing sections.
