Sorry, have to agree with Saga Musix comments on this song. I personally do not think a song with a filesize of 199k is considered a chip-song, even though you've used some looped sines etc for the melody part. Anyway, nice try, but not very enjoyable to listen to. But nevertheless, I wish you good luck in composing more songs and I'll keep watching if new songs are more of my taste of listening to in the future. And - Taste is personal :)

I will be honest. This is not worth listening. This is neither a chip remix, nor a good sounding normal remix. The samples are slightly out of tune and of very low quality in general. Using low quality samples doesn't mean that they are chip samples. I know the original tune very well and this is nothing compared to it. It's mostly noise generated by shitty samples. It's beyond my understanding how this could be rated with a score higher than 5. This is "listenable", but nothing more. Hence 3/10.

A nice chip-mix here, although it's the 16-bit samples that take center stage rather than the 8-bit. Great job putting that drum sample in lower octaves to create the djembe sound. Overall a pretty good tune with a lot of work put into it.
