TheVideoGamer - There is basically nothing to talk about from a production standpoint because all i did this round was make a solo piano piece, completely drawn in using a VST. All of the velocities were randomised in FL, not once did i play anything here. Just me composing melodies and stuff, that is all. The piano has a bit of reverb, and it mostly sticks to one set of dynamics, but apart from that there's no production values as such, it's just a piano peice, and that can be a good thing, you don't always need to make flashy music, something as simple as piano only can be great. I tried to make it into a waltz style, using cute melodies to exemplify the cute nature of the theme since it's a cat theme. It starts of in E Major, but then it modulates to C Major and then A Major, before we move back to E. There is also other sections that make it less waltz sounding, but the core idea is the same. I think it's pretty cool for what it is. Oh well, glad you liked it anyways!

DarkShadow - This is one deep kick, particularly for a DarkShadow entry. There is a lot of bass in this one, it can be quite intense, which is kind of amusing i say this for a DarkShadow entry heh. The whole thing is probably your most chaotic to date, not once do we have time to breath, it's just laser kicks and thick dissonant chords, it's both a lot of fun, and maybe...a bit overkill. But i appreciate you coming here every week and making some of the most unorthodox entries known to man lol. Good job!

Nukage - A rare early submission for Nuke heh. That is one killer bassline, i really feel it in my soul. The arps are totally stranger things like, but done in a more futuristic way. I should be inside a computer right now, like in tron. The whole chord sequence is very satisfying. Great plucked synths too, it totally does not conjure Nukage vibes for me, it's very soft and atmosphere, even with the thick mix. Maybe you just are the king of subverting expectations. That breakdown is really nice, it's got a mild glitchy element, even for a track of this style. It's quite the journey, it keeps on going in all sorts of directions. The ending was WTF, you were suprising me with all sorts of changes, but this really made me go wow. It's so hard! The guitar riff's are excellent and the beat is like The Prodigy inspired, but i will say it's....loud. Whole thing could stand to be reduced by a few DB, so it isn't too distorted and loud, but it didn't change my stance overall, and i will give you this one, well done!

Hornelectric - Purring as a instrument, now that's interesting. I love the 80's styled bass, and percussion here, it's quite catchy. The meow's do add a lot of texture here it's great. The melody is both great and also not great. I think it's a bit too loud compared to the rest, and maybe a bit too loose for my liking. I tend to gravitate towards to melodies that have a bit of structure, this is maybe too chaotic and all over the place for me. Add to that it being a bit loud, i think there is a lot of potential here. It's still a lot of fun to listen to despite that, i liked it. Good job!

Lyra_183 - I cannot believe you didn't credit the cat as a feature. It won't be long before the cat sues you for unpayed royalties haha. Jokes aside, i dig the triplet melodies in this one, you are really great at holding down a coherant melody, i like the lyrical content too. There is nothing to say here, it's hard to critique a solo vocal performance, especially one that is very well done. I feel this one is good enough for the third spot, it was very well done. Amazing work!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Now were into the cute entry, with some really nice swing, and some great meow effects imitated on a NES synth. The shuffle groove is really nice, it makes it lively and upbeat, it's quite the catchy tune here. The bassline makes it really happy, yet the main melody is quite bluesy sounding, which sort of makes it kind of weird in a way. It blends the best of both worlds in the happy and the jazzy. It's hard to exactly tell what's going on, as it goes by quite fast, but the overall 8-bit bluesy sound is very catchy. I dig this a lot, it's a lot of fun, and fits the theme exceptionally well. It was so good i placed it on the top spot, incredible work!

A2Z - Cute piano, this is probably the most uplifting track so far, i feel very happy. I love the strings complimenting the piano, it feels quite emotional. The break is also really nice, but i feel like you're setting me up for a beat that never comes, i assumed it would filter into a drop of some kind, but i guess not. The consistent addition of sounds are really nice, the melody additions towards the end is beautiful. The only other thing i would say is the main piano is a little too dry and mechanical for me, so the track sounds a tiny bit stiff, but aside from that it's beautiful. I will give you this one, there's more to like than dislike. Well done!

DarkMystery727 - That is one cat like synth hehe. It's kind of baroque in the melody, or at least that's what i get in this track, even if it has not baroque elements. I do wish the background parts were a bit louder, all i really hear is the cat synth, which is a shame because it's got a bit of a mild asian flair to the sound. Granted the overall mix is not loud, but i feel if the melody wasn't as loud as the background parts i would enjoy this a lot, because it's a really beautiful melody and chord sequence. Still though it's a lot of fun, good job!

InvisibleObserver - From quiet to loud lol. The bitcrush effects in this one are pretty fire, but the drop is quite...loud not gonna lie. It feels like the drums and bass are just dominating everything, because there is a faint hint of pad that is just getting lost in the mix. The whole thing could benefit from a bit of smoothing, the bassline can be intense, but this is a bit over the top. The drums are good, but the kick is not matching the level of harshness the clap is providing. It's not terrible or anything, it's just....a bit harsh overall in terms of mix. Still though i sense potential it's a really fun piece, good job!

Cryef22 - Kind of motivating me to do some coding lol. I like that airy synth, and the bassline is fun too, if quiet in the mix. I do dig that main melody, it's very hummable. The drums are kind of lost in the mix overall personally, not quiet, but they don't make much of a statement. The track is weirdly thin to me, i feel like there is something missing, that completes the mix overall, maybe more of a stronger bassline and drum work. I mean the mix is quiet in general, but for some reason it's especially thin. I sense a lot of potential here, the melody is really good, just maybe beef up some stuff here. Good job!

Arcana - Maple deserves some royalties for this mate lol. That kickdrum is insanely punchy wow. The bassline is mixed nicely too, this is a very pumping track. The cat noises actually work for this track, i'm suprised. I expected it to be in the way, but no it actually works. I assumed the track was mainly cat noises, but you actually sung in this too, which is appreciated. I did like the switchup at the end, when the vocals become more reverbed, and distant. Mable isn't making as much of a statement as i thought, especially towards the end. The vocal lines are really nice, and the mix is great. Just stick a clap and hi-hat and we have a winner. I relistened to this a few times, and i couldn't find much wrong, so i feel like giving you this one, it was great. In fact i felt it was good enough for the 2nd spot, amazing work!
