I downloaded this a long time ago, and I thought - since I've been listening to it so often - that I should come back and tell you so.
I just downloaded a very similar sounding album - the Tombi Soundtrack, for nostalgia reasons, and I realised that your song is better then every track from it, and that was a professional and I was biased towards it!
Well done - I wish I made games, just so I could put this in.

This one definitely has potential. I felt that maybe it would have benefited from a much stronger beat. The rest of the sounds floaty and airy (which works), but then the drums also faded into this distant, quiet 'tapping' - The start had stronger drums, and I hoped they would get stronger rather than weaker, or maybe swapped for some kind of bass... I don't know.
Music isn't particularly my strong point (unlike you), but I have a hunch that if the whole song were more 'forceful' and 'rocking' it may become a favourite of mine.
Still a great song

The captured the mood you were aiming for with dead-on accuracy.
It does sound a little generic, with very predictable melodies. It's the kind of song I've heard many times before. However the fact that all those times were from professional Musicians, means you are some kind of monkey genius.
I only have criticisms, and a lower score because I am judging you on a Professional Industry standard, which you have earned.

More music from this game! *little excited dance*
I was going to give this a nine so I could save the 10 for the reprise of this, from the end of the game - but who am I kidding, this is still a 10 easily.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I found the loops you used instantly recognisable. In the same way that I'd criticise an artist for using a very obvious photoshop filter, I must criticise you in the same manner. I don't believe the way you used the loops added anything to them, you simply put your favourites in a row.
May I encourage you to start recording your own sounds, even if they are not necessarily 'musical' and start playing around with a unique sound. Something original.
