I like the hardstyle lead at the beginning and the frantic synth harmonies. The mix is very loud and pretty clean, although sometimes the balance seems a bit off between the harmonies. For example, the synth riff at :28 seriously overwhelms the piano, and in general the drums could use a bit more of a boost in the mix. The main melody at :58 sounds a bit square rhythmically, and you also start overusing the riff at :53 a bit after a while. That said, I like the breakdown at 1:26, and you transition well back into the frantic harmonies at 1:48. The key changes at 2:10 and 2:30 were good for some variety, although I might’ve liked to see you switch up the harmonies themselves rather than just transpose them to different keys. The piece also probably could’ve used a proper outro, as it ends pretty suddenly. Still, this piece is catchy, energetic, and has some really cool retro sound design. You have a good sense of rhythm, harmony, and progression, and pretty much all of my complaints are nitpicks. Keep it up, VoltranixMusic! ^_^
