Nice build-up, but it feels structured like it's part of a bigger piece than its own thing, so its ending doesn't feel right. The synths were great, I loved what you used for the bell sound, and that wavy bass mixed with the pads at the start was very vibrant.

I kinda like the idea of it being 20 seconds, it forces us to make the most out of a short snippet of music, and there is still a lot one can do in that time. Such as a victory theme or a short introduction. Though I will say the 5 days to do it is a bit much, even when considering some people might not be able to do it the day it starts. Overall, though, I get the idea.
Number 1: try out Spitfire Labs Soft Piano, it’s free and is excessively good, I didn’t even have to EQ it or anything, it just sounds so good off the bat.
Number 2: my thought process behind the themes was my desire to do completely contrasting themes. One would be calm and welcoming, such as a Christmas theme, and a when I got that down, I decided to make the next one brutal and oppressive, and I was listening to a lot of Russian/slavic styled music from games and movies, so I went with something along the lines of Papers Please and Workers & Resources Soviet Republic.
I found this piece to be rather soothing, I loved the transition from the light plucks to the ambient pads section, with a light harmonizing rhythm. I only have one complaint, how the synth lead towards the end was crushing the audio in a way, unsure if that is intentional, but for me the crushed sound was annoying. Other than that, very nice piece.
