This track does a really good job at being a cohesive whole, however it feels a bit minimalist. I would have liked to see some more expressive sections and a bit more polish, or some more complicated textures.
Still quite good though!

Cute track! The choice of chiptune works with the concept of the image, and the composition evokes the sense of a clueless robot wandering with no sense of direction. The main two sections of the melody (starting at 0:28, 0:49 and 1:03) are really catchy. The melody feels kind of aimless at times, but the chiptune sound design is so chill and pleasant that it kind of takes a backseat to the overall ambiance the track provides.
One thing I would comment on regarding the composition is the idea at 0:42 seems a little too aimless as a transition between the two sections. While it is brief, I think there could have been a way to work with that particular transition such that there are two variations of it (especially when it repeats the second time). I think the melodic ideas surrounding it provide just the right amount of sounding "wandering" while still maintaining that sense of momentum, so it would have been nice if that carried through to the transitions, too.
Overall, this entry is simple, but I found it very enjoyable and I like the idea of transforming the robot character in the artwork to a robot that has disappeared somewhere in the universe. That's the sense I get from the composition and title, anyway.
