I like the arrangement of the track tho the mixing could use a bit of work. And the intro is a bit harsh i like the idea its great but try something more mellow. The kick sounds a bit lost in the mix try to mix your sounds around the kick the main element (most of the time). And at 2:10 that bass drop should be thicker the bass sounds a little weak. I like the pluck you used. Great job.

Ok ok! I really like the concept of this! Very bass heavy and experimental. However, the 8 bit plucks need less reverb and possibility brought "outward"...? Meaning, with a stereo plugin, you can make sounds expand out or whatever (I am bad at explain things, bare with me lol). Right now, with headphones or a good soundsystem you can head hear it in the "middle" rather than outside of what's going on in the song. Like think of it as if you're sitting down in a chair... you want it to be appearing around you, 360, and not inside you, 0 degrees (if that makes any sense lol). Also, I hear some sidechaining issues with the song. Possibly, make it tighter? Idk I hope this mess of advice helps some lol

All in all, great track/concept! Keep it up!
