This game has a cool style, love the guy's cold face and your color choices are also really good. ^^ It has a very sorta 90's arcade game style to it, like something made by Atari or a european company in the early 90's.
Are you going to make a beat'em up, I would like to play that.
As for "getting feeling into the song with a mouse", I guess that's arguable but you are kinda right. Keyboard playing would probably be better for "feeling" like you said, but having control is also important imo, and there are ways to give notes entered with the mouse an acoustic feeling, I'm not an expert on how tho. It does make a lot of difference whether you want your music to sound acoustic or whether you don't mind it sounding "electronic" and "gamey", obviously, yeah I don't know.
if you'd like to send me what you have, feel free to!
I have a bit of a hard time figuring out what I want to say here :P I think the song's rhtyhm is confusing, this distracts the listeners attention and makes the song kind of unfit for a calm background theme, but there are so many ways to make different rhythms and I can't say which one you would like or want the best?
I think maybe you should place the notes you want with the mouse instead of recording with a keyboard to start out, this will give you a more visual indication of the time signature, because as you stated yourself, judging from this song it does not seem like you are sure how to measure it. (if you already used the mouse for this I'm sorry, it just doesn't sound like you did)
I guess if you want to, we can build up a song together, sharing the flp or midi files back and forth. I have plenty of time for this today and I think it could be fun. It would be easier over discord though. What do you think about this idea? You don't need to credit me or use this song in your game or anything, it would just be an example project.
That won't be too easy if I don't know what you know, or how much experience you have, but I could start by asking you what you used to record this, to make sure we're even using the same program. Also I would like to ask you what time signature your song is supposed to be in. And if I get too annoying and smartassy you need to say ^^
I don't know what to say, I think your problems can be fixed, but in order to analyze and explain this I will kinda need to be harsh towards your song, I feel.
And I don't wanna pretend like I know a "right way" which is better than yours. There is no right way to make music after all.
This is very very very retro lol. When used with that classic ZX Spectrum font, it looks quite authentic.
What was the game about? Reminds me of something that would be gruelingly hard.
Great work!

I guess you are right, maybe I should start my own thread about this subject instead.
Sorry about this late reply, turns out I didn't have as much time as I thought. :P
This is discord, it's a chatting system that everyone seems to use nowadays.

I use FL studio as well, so that's good. :)

"There aren't enough ladies in games" ~ Highly debatable statement imo.
In game maker studio, isn't it fairly self explanatory? Surely you must know how to load a sprite into the program?
But I might just not understand how to use them probably.
