Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
The first thing I thought of when I saw the theme, was for some reason anime theme songs. Now it has been some time since I have last seen an anime (I prefer reading) but the music from what I can remember/feel like I remember, sounds like catchy/poppy rock music with disco drums and jazz chords, so that's what I made.
I started with a more heroic theme in the intro, because of the jam theme and all, and I wanted to use it more throughout the entire song to keep it in a more hero territory, but I ended up grooving too hard, whoops.

What genre is your soundtrack?
Synthy Disco Rock, I dunno

Anything else you'd like to add?
I barely did the challenge, but the whole tone scale is present in the melody in the bridge, or maybe you can call it the chorus? and I also use a F#7aug chord in the clean guitar in that section, so that might count as well.

This is super heroic!!! Great job achieving that with the sound palette you used! Super creative!

Hell yeah, well done! Personal taste but I don't love the lead synth line (love the melody though!!) 

I think you nailed the feeling of an anime rock intro! Did you record the guitars yourself? They sound great!

super impressive!

EPIC!!! IMMEDIATELY thought of the intro to sonic adventure 2 battle. Great work, high energy right at the start, and beautiful variations that convey friction but never unsurmountable obstacles. This definitly fits the theme of a textbook hero and do gooder. No drama, just straight save day in time for dinner vibe. Could also see this being the outro song for "The incredibles".

In conclusion, you smashed the assignment!!!

A ton of fun and... do I even need to explain anything? Just go and dance! :D

This is awesome! It reminds me a lot of the music from Pokemon sword and shield (ex. Marnie battle theme). I loved the main synth and the all the guitar stuff was sick.

Not much to add in my opinion, I think you nailed it.

I love this! I feel like it could be used in a lot of different contexts. The main theme is super catchy and I really like the synth sound alongside the guitar.
