Spend Valentine's Day indulging in your greatest passion or hobby - no matter who or what it is. Great love can blossom from your favourite thing in the world to improve at, in single and engaged people alike. If you're not convinced yet, have some 266.667 bpm hyper swing 8-bit ridiculousness from my <3 to your <3

Adapted from a One Hour Compo entry at http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/OHC227 . Overall this song represents ~3 hours of work.

Made in Famitracker 0.4.2, a free NES music tracker. http://www.famitracker.com/

This is really amazing, besides the typical "steppable" comment I have nothing to add.
Shame your songs don't get more views / comments because you quickly have become a very respectable chiptune artist.
If you are interested, the compilation album still has 12 days of open submissions remaining if you wish to submit something ;x

aaaahh this is really awesome haha

tho I would've loved a reprise of the crazy shit going on in the beginning without the drums following the melody so closely, but that's really just nitpicking.
the only thing that really bugs me is the apparent lack of a kick drum. is there one? if so, it's way too quiet. if there isn't one, there should be. the song loses a lot of "drive" without it.

thanks! I figure the lack of views/comments is because I don't finish enough stuff. will try to get on that.

if I finish something submit-worthy I will definitely send it your way

there is a kick drive, yes (on the triangle channel). I am not very good at making strong kicks in Famitracker yet, maybe I should use DPCM for the kick and call it a day hahah (and then use a DPCM snare like everyone else!!)

hah that reminds me of that crazy japanese dude who makes midi drawings. found it~

fast forward like 7 minutes 'cause that's the only really good part of the arrange and it kinda sucks a little in general compared to your song, but the visualizer shit is really cool hehe
