Yep! That goes for anyone seeing this, just remember to attribute somewhere :3

I see the vision with this track, and I do like the vibe it creates. I think the biggest thing holding this track back currently is the lack of a bass drum hit in the percussion line. Snare drum and cymbal create rhythm and make the track unique, but the bass drum is what establishes the beat of the song (for most genres). Check out this video if you want to see a more in depth explanation (what im talking about is at 2:35, but this entire video is really good, inspired the drum parts I still write to this day). Well done!

Very groovy over all, your rhythm work is on point. Instruments work out very nicely with each other as well. The only thing I'd change (which, is very small but can add a little variety) is making the end of each phrase (typically, 4 or 8 bars) have a slightly modified drum part - take the normal drum loop, and try adding an extra bass drum hit or snare. Everything about this song is very well done, I like quite a bit. Well done!
Gives me a very specific vibe that im struggling to part into words - kinda like preparing to go on a cave expedition in a retro game, or maybe a refinery theme? Judging from the title, its something along those lines, so you did well there.
I do enjoy the instrumentation, though I think the guitar sounds a little out of place. I think it may be because of the sample rate of the instrument (Youve got a lot of retro sounds in here, which have low sample rates, while the guitar appears to have a higher one). I would try bitcrushing the guitar (14 kHz - 8 kHz is a good place to start, play around with it from there).
Nicely done!
Very chill track, cool stuff happening in the background. I do think its slightly repetitive, but it still works quite well as background music. Making the melody a little more involved or active when it repeats would be a good way to do this without creating an entirely new part, though both methods work. Nicely done!
P.S. Does fit the wii vibe quite well :3
Good instrumentation, work nicely together. Some accidentals/out of key notes feel a little out of place - they're really useful for building tension, but its hard to use them well. I learned how to use them through brute force, but theres likely some good videos out there for learning. Nicely done!
Subtle Detune? A bunch of key modulation? In all honesty im not entirely sure but it works out well. Mixed well and connects to theme very well. A tad repetitive, but polished well. Me being me, my mind jumps to trying to write a counterpoint line for some of these phrases to ease off the repetitive nature, but counterpoint is its own can of worms, engage at your own risk (though, I would highly recommend looking at it if your write music and are interested in learning more advanced harmony and countermelody). Well done!
Mildly Bitcrushed Moonlight sonata with some new melodies was not what i expected, but I'll gladly take it. The volume of the instruments could be moderated a bit more (I do feel that the wind lead is a little too loud at some parts, an EQ or some volume adjustment at parts would assist). Well done! I respect to commitment to remaking a good five minutes of it.
Immediately reminded me of 5-S in ultrakill (which is about fishing), so it works well. Good instrument layering and composition. My only other comment is I'm expecting a countermelody / melody to come in at certain parts (notably at the repeating segment around 1 minute in - A flute or soft synth melody would go hard). Well done!
