Pinball City
Correlation to theme
Overall I went for a chiptune theme, but added some little sounds blips here and there to make it sound like there were pinballs rolling and bumping about. Song is calm but futuristic-sounding.

So good, really funky and the tones really do evoke that kind of neon pinball vibe, so you nailed the theme for sure.
Some really interesting structure too, there's a few reprieves that introduce some different melodies before that main melody comes back in that sound really really great.
The fact that I was moving my head up and down during the whole song is proof that the rhythm is incredible! You nailed the concept well while keeping it chiptune, good job!
I really like this track and think you did a great job finding the sound of pinball city. You were able to take chiptune sounds and make it feel like much more which I think is a testament to your mixing choices which are stellar. I like the variety within this track and I felt interested the entire time I was listening. Excellent work and thank you for sharing!
Heeey a fellow beepboxer! Really liked this chiptune, from the wave choices and the chords and bassline, it is quite groovy indeed! And it's very well executed with the echo effects and the overall voicing.
Great job!
Great mixing, that's a really fat sound. It's hard to do bitcrushing without sacrificing some of that!
Wow. Often chiptune sounds either unprofessional or painful to me. This was neither. It is easy on the ear, fits Pinball City very well, sounds rather professional, and has enough variation not to bore. Very nicely done! :D
Your composition is incredibly good!
Musically, it's chiptune at its best.
I imagine you're a musician in real life, because there are so many details in your music:
The theme seems looped, but you bring in lots of little harmonic and rhythmic variations (a triplet, a break, a different counterpoint). The harmony is complex and rich but easy to listen. It's an excellent work. I love it !
the song has a good balance between the concept and the sounds, congratulation =)
I’ve said it multiple times in these Jams.
Chiptune = Me happy :)
Really enjoyed it and awesome work.
Something about the rhythm makes me think of riding a glass-topped train through a shiny, neon pinball city! Good job!
