Love it! Catchy rhythm and I just love chiptune music in general. Good work. :)

Hey, I like this, really catchy and dunny
super catchy melody and nice bass
This is a really solid chiptune piece! Firstly your melodies are all very distinct and catchy. You move back and forth between different ideas really well, it's repetitive but not tedious. Your melody and the eventual countermelody are well balanced and I particularly like the lead-synth at 1:00. The melodic elements and structure are great, but I feel the drums and bass leave something to be desired. The 8-bit snare and kick are authentic but lack punch and this is often a problem in pure chiptune music. I would recommend using EDM or D&B style drums (FL's free samples are good) in this piece, they pack a punch (you might need to layer the snare a bit) but should still fit in. If you want you could still run them through a bit-crusher on a low setting to get a slight 8-bit sound. The bass is also kind of limited by the synth. I'm not sure what sounds are in DefleMask, but a rounder, less sawtoothy sound would be best for this stuff, once it locks in with the drums it'll sound phenomenal. A solid effort and worth being proud of; I honestly think if you could port this over to something like FL Studio you could breathe new life by redoing the bass and drums alone.
