Very nice song! I love the little story in the description. Given the quick nature of this song, I could totally imagine a lizard being chased by a hawk. You got a lot of variation in this song too, which is not easy to do and is definitely appreciated (and reflected in a higher 'Creativity' score too ;). Your instruments (sitar, bongo, that one oboe- or trumpet-like instrument at 0:24 I cannot put my fingers on - please help me find the name!) all fit very nicely. I love the risers seemingly turning into wind at the start, the beautiful little reverse at 2:24, the very fitting chord progressions, and the upbeat and fast nature of the percussion and bass. Genuinely, a very entertaining song to listen to! Well done :D

Thank you! The feeling of the story was the most important part for me so I am glad you felt I captured it! I am glad you liked the variation too, I feel it sort of came from a shifting of musical ideas haha; I was originally inspired by "Attack on Vah Naboris" from Zelda (I started with the piano chorus area when composing) and then the rest of the ideas sort of shifted to Mexican-Folk and Chiptune inspired (and probably some other genres). That instrument at 0:24 is a trumpet soundfont, I think it might be based on a C trumpet though! Your comment is very kind, Thank you again!
