Give me any criticism. I currently don't have monitors so I can't produce the best sound but I try my best. Still working on small details. Thanks

How this works is you should be leaving others feedback before expecting others to comment on your own.

This is pretty cool  :D

The snare starting at 1:06 could use some compression because it doesn't hit all too hard like it should. Maybe consider sidechaneing your lead to the snare, or just turning the volume of the snare up.
Also at 1:30, the lead feels like it stops too abruptly. A downlifter or like a crash symbol or like a white noise downlifter thing might help that. Or even like a different sound/lead there if it wasn't meant to be a breakdown.

 :P

What do you mean by compression? Sorry I'm pretty new to this. Only been making beats for about 2 months. And I'll keep the 1:30 part in mind when I get back to working on this. Thanks for you feedback!!! :)

Pretty nice start.
First things first, the waveform shows how compressed it overall is, the drop appears quieter than the intro.  I would say take it easy on the compression for the master and what not, next the lead in the intro is very loud, I would bring it in with a filter, like a lowpass automated over a long time and bring in a nice buildup for the drop.

The intro is nice but as soon as it hits the laser part it's not so nice.

I'd like to hear some sidechain, maybe not much, but some. Now it just seems the laser thingy is sweeping trough the drums and they cant be heard at all. I'd lower the lazer resonance, it's really stabby now.

Also, you could turn up the drums a bit in the intro too.

Some variation would go a long way. The main part is too repetitive now, and I feel some other kids of lazors as fills / stabs would benefit your track. You could also work on your chords more. I personally find them somehow cheesy, I am not sure whether it is the composition or the synth.

I think it may be the composition, honestly don't know any chords for like pianos, I used my ears. More of a guitar/ drum player.  is there anyway I could reach you and message faster, I'd like to know more. Like I said I'm fairly new to producing and I'd like to learn as much as I can from more experienced people
