"Perfect for a time-challenge abstract puzzle game."

Does indeed loop pretty well.
The melody that rides through the whole thing makes me think of a puzzle game where you're trying to work out the puzzle in the fastest time you can. There wouldn't be a time limit. The graphics would only be basic shapes - lines and perhaps squares and circles, as well as corner curves and equilateral triangles. There'd be an awful lot of black. Maybe cogs?
The long drawn out notes work well and I like the quickly played melody that starts at 0:19.
I don't have much to criticise. The beats and melody seem oppressive and it could get too much for some folk after 10 minutes or so. But without it there wouldn't be that same tension.
Maybe lowering the volume of them by a tad?
My other criticism is that the start and end feel a bit vacant - specially in comparison to the middle.

Author's Response:
I like the imagery you saw in it, nice :) I had a game in mind when I made this, that's why I made it loop. Yeah you're right about the beat, and looking back I don't really like the bass in this one. Needs moar pads.
