Retro!!! I've missed that sound for a while XD. Really liked the sounding of this. The mix sounds pretty tight most of the time, and the melody is cool though it sounds a bit stale. Try varying the length of the notes a bit in your melodies.
I really liked the synths you used, though the bass you use throughout the track isn't really optimally mixed in the track. Try to give it it's own space in the Eq by lowering or cutting the frequencies where the bass stands the most out from the pads in particular. I would also have added a tiny winy bit of reverb to it, just to give it a bit of a spacey feeling, but that's just about preferences.
When I said that the mix sounds tight almost all the time, the exception is when the crash and sweeps hits like the one around 1:30. The entire track ducks under it and makes it sound unprofessional. Try cutting some of the lowest frequencies from your crash(maybe cut around 100hz?). You want to keep the big impact sound of the crash, but still cut the frequencies that makes the mix sound muddy. Just remember: Eq EVERYTHING. The only time you don't want to eq is when you think an effect sounds perfect as it is.
Overall a pretty solid track. Loved the retro feel of it, and some really clever ideas in this :D.
4 stars.
