Yeah I would have liked to give it a bigger middle 8 palate cleanse section and/or let it go round a few more times at the end. I just kept it short and sweet this time since it’s a loop. And I didn’t want to keep adding and possibly ruin it yknow?
It’s good that listeners want more though! Could be worse haha
I was definitely in two minds about how much bite everything should have. My original version was much smoother, with everything dunked in reverb. I went back and made some bits darker and drier at the end. I wanted a bit of grit somewhere in there. I think by that point I'd had enough of fiddling with the synth haha! Good advice
First thing I noticed is it's a bit quiet - I had to turn my monitors way up to hear the low strings. But once I did it was geat! It feels like the fight starts 1 min in, I'm not sure if that was what you were going for or not. It might cause trouble if you wanted to loop it in a real game, because the energy would drop every time it goes to the start. But you could make it work with small tweaks. Overall really good music!
Really nice! I think I agree with some other commenters here. It could benefit from a contrasting section with more energy. It doesn't have to go full epic mode (I actually like the slow methodical feeling here, feels like it would suit a strategic game) but maybe a change of instrumentation before circling back to the theme
Thunder rumbles, rain pummels the ground, the stage is set for a battle of ages! Two combatants, enemies for more years than they can count, now stand opposite from one another. One of them will not leave this place alive.

Anyway, here's my submission for the Boss Fight music jam! I had fun with it and I hope you have fun listening! It's my first time doing this fully synth, chip-tune type music, but I think it came together pretty well. More experienced composers, I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments
Cheers!
