This is chiptune gold! I really like and all the different harmonies, but I thought it could use a bit of polish in places. I went and added notes/echo on unused channels (unless you want to a deliberately sparse composition, you should never leave a channel blank), and tweaked the end portion to make it sound better (maybe? idk, you might like the original better), and added in a loop point (really, the song loops so naturally that I'm surprised you didn't put one in yourself).
Also, since this song apparently has lazy sound design and unnecessary instruments, I gave it an equally lazy and unnecessary title to match.

- The thing about trying to improve something already so good is that you might accidentally make it worse. Hopefully this edit doesn't do that.

Hey, dude, thank you, but yes, i like the original more

But i like how you added slide downs to the last note of the chorus near the end, that's a nice touch

Oh whoops, the intro notes weren't supposed to be shortened: I accidentally checked a box in the instrument editor I didn't mean to. I went ahead and fixed that in the FTM.
I guess the saw bass boost is more of a personal preference: I really like the sound of sawtooth + triangle bass, and I think the saw helps cover the bass whenever the triangle is playing the kick/snare accompaniment, in addition to allowing the bass to have an actual volume envelope and give it a bit of punch.
Yeah, the note slide just popped in my head when I was thinking of something to fill in the ending. Glad you liked that. I remember trying out some different things to make the ending more interesting, but they didn't sound as good as what I eventually settled with. It's really difficult to just make up parts like that, which is probably why I've never composed anything myself and only stuck to remixes and arrangements.
