Yeah I actually imagined this track as an intro, opening credits sequence that would play once (like in FF6 when they're walking through the snow). I think it's hard to critique game songs without context, in that sense. That said, I come from a background of writing rock/indie music and playing in bands; I only started getting into making game music these past few weeks, and this is the first time I've submitted anything online. It's been interesting to get feedback from people in the game-music community, as it seems like there are definitely expectations people here have that I'm not used to. I've been getting critiques I never would have thought of, which again is pretty interesting and useful. But some have definitely caught me off guard, haha. I think my background of writing and mixing rock/prog/jazz music might rub off on my game music in ways that go against some conventions, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.
But yeah, try out Chipsynth! I've been ripping samples from SNES games, it's a ton of fun to use if you like that sound.
