VGM Contest

Announcing the Winners!
After an intense round of judging, we have our top tracks!
🥇 First Place - "Sirens Call" by reptilian (81 Points)
A beautifully arranged piece with an incredible blend of elements and sound selection. The GameBoy-style pulse sound gives it a classic VGM feel, and the escalation riff is masterfully done. The subtle samplerate reduction adds a polished touch that makes this track feel like a true boss battle theme. Brings me straight back into the boss fights from Cyberpunk, but would fit into nearly any game
🥈 Second Place - "Void Space" by DUTCH (80 Points)
This track is a complete and coherent composition with a super smooth mix. The balance of variation and structure makes it feel game-ready. It's clear that DUTCHY, the legend, has a strong grasp of VGM production, delivering a track that sounds like it could be shipped straight into a game, and teleports me straight to the late 90s snowboard cross games.
🥉 Third Place - A Three-Way Tie! (76 Points Each)
"FOUL" by ithoundrist - A thumping, bass-driven track with an intricate drum rhythm and excellent sound design. It gives off strong Japanese game vibes and has a powerful atmosphere.
"Fallen Worlds" by reptilian - A track full of exaggerated bitcrushing effects, creating a "modern platformer" sound. Bonus points for keeping the Amen break alive!
Wisp Planet Act 1 (DNB Remix)" by Polaris - A solid remix flexing impressive sound design. While it's a cover, it still absolutely nails the competition's theme.

Good question! We will leave current features up for a while to make sure they are properly celebrated, but down the line when this converts to a more normal video game music celebration group, the next 3 top scorers will get featured in this group! Which are: Moody Cavern, The Cove, ascend
