Samples from rounds: 30, 21, 15, plus one hand-drawn.

Also, in case anyone wonders about the ranking.. I specifically hunted for inspiration amont entries that placed last :) .

I was tempted to go through last place entries too... :)
dug the minifill at the end of pattern 12. this is rather catchy... I want to listen to the original entry now... haha.

Ah, I like the way you orchestrated and harmonized with the original melody. I agree that the tune is catchy. This is the kind of music I would love to hear when playing a game.

Great job done here. The canonized guitar really works out well. Very unpredictable and interesting progression. Don't like the sudden arpy sounds and I should mix the shakey thing of the last beat earlier...but hey it's unpredictable...:)

Excellent remix chotoro. I must admit to not giving this tune much time orignally though I do remember it.
My comments are as shit as ever this month. Just enjoying the tunes :)

This one is fantastic. I absolutely love the chip part. Really touches me. You've definitely improved the original song.
Mix is also very good. Only the snare is IMO much too harsh. It hurts.
#1 for the chip part.

I love what you've done here in choosing one of the last place tracks and giving it a fresh perspective. Instrumentation sounds really nice, the guitars and backing synth pad. Slowing down the original bpm sounds like it worked well for you here. The mix is sweet with no problems. Your tracks often have a really nice reverb to them which is the case in this track. Overall very well made and very enjoyable to listen to!

OH WOW!
I haven't visited this place for a long time, and suddenly I got this inspiration to go listen to last round's results.
I download this mp3, and after listening for awhile I realise... "this sounds like guitar zero!"

This is a truly awesome remix!
I am honored. Thank you for taking my idea and making it to something really great!
