34/60

- it's very much "just ok" in terms of composition. not really much of interest and the constant fast drumline is kind of obnoxious (the irony in this statement is incredible)
- mixing is again just ok. guitar instrument is kinda weird and the synth holds too long, but main gripe is there is like, zero bass
- not really much actually new here other than the instruments, otherwise very similar to...a past remix...
- very obviously the cave theme

- great composition, love the megaman feel. would have liked some EPIC HEAVY VIBRATO on some of those extended lead high notes to really hammer it in
- left panned lead with no other panning makes it a bit off-balance. echo/echo feedback might be a bit loud too. but overall good sound design and mix
- certainly nothing close to anything i expected from this contest so big creativity points
- a couple of the other judges had to ask me which song this was. that being said, it's definitely evident once you know it's there

- im a sucker for this stuff,, very well executed in general, though i think some of the lead notes should have been adapted better to the chords (or vice versa) as some harmonies feel a bit..forced?
- beautiful sound, i love all the silly sfx. one gripe is some of the large pitch bends are kinda wacky in a weird and not necessarily good way
- great ideas overall, i wish the lead was a little more unique tho
- definitely recognizable

- neat arrangement overall; the transitions are kinda weird and some of the harmonic decisions dont make much sense, especially in the weird walking bass section, i dont like that part at all. 
- mix is a bit muddy, probably in part due to the echo. some of the instrument choices could have been better as well
- could have varied up the melody a bit to make it more interesting, but good ideas and decent execution
- definitely recognizable

46/60

- really nice sounding! nothing too special going on but what is there is good
- mix is overall pretty good too. the @6 could be a bit quieter and maybe could use a tiny bit of attack. i also think the echo is a bit odd, would prob benefit more from high fb + low vol
- i like the changes that are there but it is definitely still quite close to the original song

- i love the ideas you tried to incorporate into this! unfortunately they just weren't executed super well, and a lot of things end up clashing
- sound design definitely needs a lot of work; everything kinds of blends together, and the echo isnt helping that
- like i said i love the ideas and i think with more practice this could be made into something jawdropping. so keep going yo
- definitely recognizable

- really cool asterix & obelix feels. main gripe is i feel like it ends too soon!! feels like there should be big meaty payoff before it loops but its not there : (
- snare could be louder. thats my only sound design complaint
- yeah this is super creative i got nothin to say on that front
- definitely recognizable
