There's already a TON of video game and rock/metal tracks on this channel, but I've never attempted to fuse them together in a way such as this (imagine something from that Scoot Pilgrim beat 'em up game) nor have I dabbled a lot in the realm of chiptune sounds. This commission I recieved was the perfect challenge to finally give this an attempt and I'm super happy with how it came out! I hope you all enjoy this track (and my tiny return to YouTube)! This is "Attempting to Make a Chiptune/Video Game Rock Theme".
