Track description | Creative process
The base is the bass (hahahahahhaha) and I built everything out from that loop. I wanted it to ramp in intensity but also be loopable. I used 4th chords to make a strong sound without colouring it too dark or too light, and the arpeggio added some extra movement. I made sure to keep everything pretty quantized and regular to maintain the rhythm-game feel.
Thanks for your consideration! This was a lot of fun to do.

Fun, energetic track.
Harmonically pretty cool, the use of fourth chords is nice! As others mentioned gets just a little too loud for comfort in the middle, but really strong groove and bass makes this definitely feel like a boss battle
Interesting take, pretty ambient but it keeps you on the edge at the same time.
Loved the drop in the middle, was real smooth.
I also needed to lower the volume around this time.
I would have loved a little more variation maybe... a melody added on top with another instrument? (but well that's my taste and I'm being picky)
It's a great sound!
Good song! In the minute 0:46 I would say to lower the volume or use a litte of compression for the distorted chords. It gets too strong that it begins to overlap with the others intruments, making them hard to listen.
Just suggestion, is a solid song!
Interesting chord progression!
