I'm less happy with this one then I was with Slippery Slide (although I'm still happy with it) but it's worth me putting up here for any constructive criticism I can get. Also, I left a bonus thing for those who help me out here in the ftm. It's a rather "meh" ripoff of Heisenburg's "Momentum" (the one he released recently with his other tracks) but it's better I get it online rather than leave it to rot for eternity.

I like the beat you have going on! The pulse 1 (2a03) arps are also a nice touch to the song.

On pulse 2, pattern 00 (all of them) can you change the 047 to 037, and revert it back to 047 on the second chord in the pattern? I think that would fix some dissonance I'm hearing between the arps it plays in contrast to the first 2a03 pulse.

The melody also feels a bit bland to me, but it's hard to explain why... I think the only way I can describe it is to "try simple movements without jumping around too much" and "if you jump, try jumping around the current chord". One more thing you can try is getting in the mood you want the song to express, because that can surprisingly (and sometimes most effectively) help with melody writing too.

Wow, I really like this one. Especially the VRC6 main melody, the sound is familiar but I've never seen an effect like that in Famitracker before.
