This feels like a setting up of a story like an intro cutscene. I got like DragonQuest 2 vibes from one of the minor chords in there that felt like in DQ2 when the foes show up at the castle and start attacking
Super nice work!
Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my pages, consider doing the same. Also put your track in chiptune and soundtrack playlists and reposted down to followers on SoundCloud.
Cheers!

I enjoyed this 🙂 Bit bare bones but I feel like that's kind of the vibe you were going for? The garage band sounding guitar and drums give it a nice stripped back feel. I feel like the melody doesn't quite gel as well as it could with the rhythm section... I think it's the fact that the drums and guitar are quite dry and up front (which I like btw) whereas the winds are more distant and reverby, they don't sound like they're in the same space. There could perhaps be a happy middle ground of sitting the drums/guitar down a little in the mix and sending them through the reverb at a subtle level, and maybe lowering the reverb on the winds a bit? Alternatively/additionally it could potentially benefit from another texture in the middle to glue things together a bit and fill out the space, a pad maybe?
Anyway, just some musings, it's a nice piece and I enjoyed it (got the foot tapping and everything , catchy! 😉)
Feels like a very 2d platformer theme. Very great!
