I like the quirky beats at the beginning - the blissful-sounding lead, cutesy harmonies, and heavy bass actually work really well together. The texture sounds a tad thin for the first couple of minutes - some stronger drums and a little more room in the mix for the middle-range frequencies could help. The dissonance at 1:16 actually works really well to advance the progression of the piece, and I really enjoy the rhythmic content throughout. The fairly thin texture is a bit of a turn-off for me here, and at some point you could’ve balanced out the staccato-y synth lines and short-lived flourishes with some smoother pads or something. Still, I really like the sound design, progression, and beats here. Full credit for instrumentation and originality for sure. :D Thanks for coming out to the NGUAC this year, xkatttt! Always a pleasure hearing your work. ^_^

You don't need to "like" a song to appreciate that it's good. Also... are those wizard101 commons theme quotes??? My dude. I love you.

The mix on this is somewhat inconsistent, but I like the melodic ideas you're presenting here. It's also refreshing to hear an audible sub sine. But I do think that it could have some elements of excitement applied to it such as distortion, saturation. I think the thing that is doing this track the least favors is the obvious synth instruments used. In general, if it's a synth guitar or other noticable synth instrument, replacing it with a synthy SYNTH is almost always the better option for your listener. But aside from that this is really groovy!
