If I could give you more than 5 stars for Composition, I would. I rarely have this feeling with composers on e.g. Itch, but I loved the song from second one! The rhythm was very cool. I didn't think it matched the theme much until I read your lore - the while 'night life, casino and club' concept explained your choices perfectly! I did hear the bubbles nicely too, to still give some 'watery' vibe. Definitely original, definitely catchy, and with the lore in mind, executed excellently!

Thanks!
Originally, I planned to go a more industrial route and describe it as a futuristic Octopus city, but as I was creating the piece, I started to lean more towards a jazz-inspired feel, and the lore started to reconstruct itself in my mind. This turned out to be a fun decision, as it has been quite a minute since I've composed a track with a jazzy influence.
Also, a fun little fact to highlight the water/ocean aspect: The piano sound that I used is called "Water Piano," from the Spyro Soundfont, haha.
