Sunset Town: My favorite moment was at 2:02 by far! This is when I heard the sunset theme fit in. Using the short chopped tones at the beginning make it feel like it’s daytime and as the song progresses, the notes lengthen such as a day drawing to a close where time seems to lengthen just as the shadows do while the sun sets. I am always a big fan of those who can make chiptune using the classic limitations of only 4 sound channels because you have to imply a lot of harmony. In the first portion of this track, I think you have an interesting melody and an interesting bass part, but they don’t always line up to create an implied harmony that is intuitive to the listener. My one piece of advice is to think about which bass notes you want to use to support your melody (for example, your melody outlines a major scale while the bass seems to be simultaneously outlining a minor triad which seems to clash). This is an interesting effect if intentional, but at the end, you have a very cohesive composition that I think if applied at the beginning as well would make this piece shine even brighter.

Did I imagine the town?: I think I did! I was imagining an Earthbound-esque village on a cliff overlooking a sunset with brilliant orange, pink, and red colors. I could imagine the sun setting and the sky slowly turning a darker blue as the piece progressed. Nice work and thank you for sharing!
