I liked the different sounds you used and thought it was quite interesting how you introduced/abandoned them in different spots throughout. It feels quite meditative - I feel like it could land more clearly on the I chord a bit more often to avoid it feeling too meander-y - for instance during the section with guitar, flute and piano - maybe the piano could agree a bit more with the I chord or sync up with the guitar rhythm more often. I agree with Luca that this is fantastic you managed to make this in a couple of hours and I liked the relaxing vibe it had :)

I really like the textural contrast between the A and B sections and the added hits you used in the final A section  - I thought the interplay between the bass and snare was extremely engaging - I'm a bass player and would've enjoyed playing something like that with a drummer.  I noticed the track came out pretty loud in my headphones at the same volume as other tracks - not really a big issue, I just thought I'd mention it. Fantastic work imitating the style and overall.

I really loved the sounds you used - I agree with others about tempo and creating a sense of urgency for battle music - but I definitely felt it was dramatic and has an adventurous feel - it almost feels like it could be really fantastic music for a title screen - especially from the arpeggiated bit toward the beginning. Either way, I loved the vibe and I really enjoyed listening to it!

It definitely made me think of a Pokemon battle! It might be good to experiment with landing on some more consonant harmony occasionally - for me it's lacking a 'release' from the building tension - it might benefit from a couple more moments where the bass and melody are working together rather than against each other. For instance, they could start in the same key, melody could divert, then come back to the original key. This might help to make the otherwise engagingly competing ideas work together, although solutions I've seen suggested by others would also work great imo. I liked the sounds you used, it definitely felt reminiscent of early game music.
