A lot to dig into here! SETTING is the first track I've heard that really leans into the chiptune genre for its fundamentals. Always a vibe, no matter how simple the waves are.
REAL WORLD reminds me of some sort of level or overworld theme. Percussion is nice and crispy here and adds some groove to the tune.
PLASTIC CAFE is where we first here some divergence in genre and I have to say I love how understated the drums are in this, complementing the change in synth voicing with some really nice sound-design oriented textures.
RELEASE ATTACK/SWEATY PALMS diverges further with some more elaborate patches. Vibe is much moodier off the bat, and the melody lines in this are really memorable. I feel as though I could imagine this being in something akin to Super Meat Boy - it feels like it would fit seamlessly.
As for BATTLE AT THE THEATRON - I dig the horns opening this up. Shoutout the breakcore beats - always a sucker for those. Some really nice textures layered under the main score here. It also has a rather perfect transition into ACT RIGHT NOW which again reminds me of how well these tracks could fit into an existing game.
WEAVE ACROSS THE DANCEFLOOR has me thinking something like Hotline Miami - some really cool voicings here and some strange SFX and sound design to provide some fun textures to push the envelope even further. Parts of this track really remind me of something Feed Me would do in the earlier days.
CRUNCH TIME is a classic oldschool-on-modern equipment vibe. Simple waves, catchy melodies. Does wonders.
Both UNKNOWN and MANIC MALFUNCTION lean back into that breakcore and DnB vibe that get me grooving. Nice variety of moods in these tracks; each serving a very different purpose but still managing to drive forward and deliver on the theme.
Kudos for getting over 12 minutes of audio done in the 48 hour period. Mixing and production is pretty tight on all of these tracks and the variety of sounds and genres here is pretty incredible. Great work!
