I was bouncing my head the whole time, this has a nice sense of groove. The syncopation is so fun. I listened to the song you said it was inspired by, I definitely see the resemblance, but you did a good job of making it sound distinct enough to stand on its own via instrumentation and form. I think my only complaint is audio balance, during the B section, what sounds like a kick drum comes in on the weak beats, I think it sounds too muddy with bass and chords. It also sounds a little crunchy, I'd personally prefer a cleaner kick that doesn't have the small crackling in the sound. I also think the melody could be more prominent in the mix, the bass is a little overpowering. All in all though, this is a very enjoyable track!

Thanks for the feedback! ^_^ Yeah you can blame the soundfont for the muddy kick drum with the crackling, I used the same exact soundfont of the game the song I imitated the style of is from and the game is an older pokemon game so it's not going to have the cleanest sound in the world lol I also purposely made the bass overpowering because that's how the bass in the imitated song is too because the bass acted pretty much as the main melody in the imitated song with the chords acting as a background compliment that comes together as one, so I just imitated the style and did the same even though I feel like my bass line doesn't have much of a melody to it like the imitated song does.
