Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - "Energy Beads" (Exercise Mode)

[Arceace]

I have been working on this mix for quite a while. I have already had it shot down in the judges panel before, and I don't want to repeat that step again. I feel pretty good about the whole arraingement, but I would greatly appreciate it if I gained some feedback about the production. I would also appreciate detailed comments about how to fix any problems that exist.

Solid work! This is by far the best song in the game, and I'm glad to see it getting some attention. I particularly like the glitchy effect you used on parts of the melody. My only complaint is that at times it feels....static if that makes sense. Like it's just waiting for a huge build up that never really happens.

You think so? I'll be sure to focus on that when I start working on it again. I have already submitted it to the judge’s panel, but I get the feeling that I will work on it again.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!

Good luck with the judges! I like what you have going on throughout. The lead synth has me hooked.

I know you submitted already, but I feel like the bass doesn't stand out enough. At a few parts, I'm not sure if it's even there, which may have been intentional. The fake guitar that comes in at 0:37 and goes until 0:49 isn't doing too much for me, just a matter of personal taste I suppose. Also, the high pitched hat that plays through the song is distracting.
