this track is a really strange experience. on the one hand it's very clean and well written. but the overall feeling is very quiet and overly subtle, like the EDM equivalent of singing under your breath because you're embarrassed of other people hearing you. the sound design is fine but far too simplistic overall - really lean into the chiptune elements as i think you're already pretty good at utilising them effectively.

OneBigParadox is the man who turned it into a certified banger

I like the airy pads and rich bass at the beginning. The lead sounds a bit thin in the mix, and could probably use a bit more compression (especially at the drop at :30), although otherwise the production quality here is solid. I also think the drop could’ve been a bit more dynamic and full-textured. The cutesy groove at :59 is nice, and the echo-y whispers at 1:12 help fill out the atmosphere nicely. I think the section at 2:07 is my favorite - tons of cool sound effects and rhythmic elements around a bassy atmosphere. I still think you could’ve done a bit more work on the production side to make the mix sound punchier, and the composition is a bit minimal and bland at times, but the creepy vocals and sound design here are awesome. Keep at it, OBP! ^_^
