What is the most interesting interval in your leitmotif/theme?
I think it's the tritone and major seventh during the scale at the beginning of each measure. They naturally want to pull up to the fifth and octave so there's a sense of tension and longing, but only for a brief moment. But honestly, the power chords that come in halfway through are pretty sick too.

Feels Toby Fox ish
Amazing, glad you managed to make this so fast under those conditions, and I hope things improve.
The theme is really present, and I can sense the villain hastening towards me through dark passageways. I imagine a vampire in a gloomy castle who flickers and splutters to light when he is able to feed.
One of the things I really appreciate about your submission is that you stayed true to the genre you chose. You stuck with 4 sound channels just like classic 8 bit music, which is something that I always struggle with when I am trying to imply harmony with fewer tracks. I like the build-up with the power chords partway through. The 4 crash hits right at the end got me amped up and ready for more! This is a unique and colorful melody which paints a picture of who Dr. Flame is really well in my mind. Thank you for sharing!
OK, how come this is so good? XD I have it on loop now. This is way too much fun ~ I'd totally play a game with this music. And I kind of want to dance to it too.
Kudos, you have my vote
Love the 8 bit sounds!
