Hmm, never heard the source before. Not a bad choice.

Well to be honest, I do like this. It evokes the cool feeling of the classic IceCapped, by McVaffe. It does have a nice, smooth sound to it.
Problem is, there's not a lot of interpretation of the melody. You really need to mess around with the hook more; playing it backwards is not enough, though it is a nice touch.
Break it apart, syncopate it, riff on it, do more with it. You have a good ear for this kind of thing, so you're not wasting your time here. There are some nice ideas here, but you need to rachet things up a little. Work towards a more sophisticated sound design and arrangement.

Yeah. NO, but keep at it. Hope to see you on OCR someday.
