Solid dance entry with strong rhythm section and hopeful vibes. It really makes me want to stand up and start moving my feet, taking me tonight to this Crystal Castle disco which I am sure exists somewhere in this or another parallel universe. Good job!

Very good song! I loved the drum pattern, it gives me breakcore vibes. Great job, I really enjoyed it!

Within the first few seconds i thought this was a raggae or raggaeton track, waiting for that classic beat and bassline to drop. Then it flipped my expectations with the arpeggiations with the drum and bass? (i think?) rhythm? Nice consist use of the musical theme introduced at the beginning of the song, never straying from the theme and mood.

The end of the song after the strings ended, invoking the feeling of nostalgia with a crystal ballerina whined up toy. Can't say the song is happy or sad, just seems more like one of "Longing" for something that no longer exist. Maybe homesickness from the ghost of a child who died a horrible death in a castle(her home) and that became a manifestation of said betrayal becoming the infamous crystal castle. Haha, apologies for the rant, that depiction sounds like an episode of sailor moon. Either way well donE, no complaints on my end.

Very upbeat and lifting. The fast running lines really help for pushing the music forward. There's good variation while also sticking to material throughout. Nice work!

Great sound design for the theme - love the icy marimba-esque lead.

Instrumentation works well and it's certainly a piece folks could dance to. At 1:34 when the drums take a break for a measure before coming back in has a nice impact. Song has enough variety to keep the listener's attention. Nice one.
