Developer

Knew I had to rate this one as soon as I saw the keyboard cat :D you've somehow captured the exact feeling I imagine you'd have as an independently working cat in a big city, this has really good vibes.

Thank you so much! I'm glad the track gave off that vibe to you. Your feedback made my day!

Submitted

This is really cool! I like how fun and joyful this track is :D

Developer

Thank you My motto is my music must be Fun Funny Fancy always.

Similar to what some folks have already said, I feel like the reverse part could've worked better as a standalone track.

Dug the vibe, the synth feels real quirky and mischievious.

Developer

Thank you your opinion!

The reverse section at the end of this is kind of just slapped on, there's nothing really glueing it to the rest of the track. And I don't mean that in a mean way, just in the sense that the first half is create and the second half is just the exact same thing but reversed, no real changes. It's just an identical recording (the exact recording) just placed in reverse at the halfway mark.

Developer

Thank you so much!

I liked this a lot! The reverse part was really interesting, I kinda liked it!

Developer

Thank you so much!

This is a very fun tune! I like the vibe of the main symmetrical melody a lot. It really fits the envisioned gameplay in my opinion. Great job!

Developer

Thank you !  I intended  like retro video games .

Of the tracks I have listened to so far this one feels the most like it would fit into a video game the best.

It reminded me of Bomberman songs

I think this technically qualifies for the superchallenge category since the second half of the song is just the same but reversed though personally I did not care for the reversed section.

I thought the song sounded great on its own and had palindromic elements already and the reversed version felt like it was tacked on at the end to fulfill a quota.

I don't mean to sound harsh I just think it was better without that part and I also really did enjoy the song a lot!

Developer

Thank you for pointing it out

As you said, it may have been a mistake to add the second half

If you take the game item, you can turn back time, and I put it on the image of the music at that time.
