It's been several years since I made any music, and the first time for Game Boy.
It was tricky to make the cover sound right because the Game Boy can only play four sounds at the same time.
I snuck in plenty of references to the it's your problem line into the melody because
there wasn't room for the real line.
Differences from the original
The rhythm is slightly different because I found it sounded better this way with the GB style.
The BPM is 174.73 because of GB technical limitations.
The final part sounds really different to stand out from the rest of the times that this riff plays. The
intensity range of my cover isn't as great as the original, so this was my last chance to go hard.
Favourite parts
The white noise buildup and scream at 1:48
The growly backing line in the finale, starting at 2:02
Thumbnail art
It's only 7 colours!
It's almost Game Boy Color-authentic. With a few tiny changes, it would be displayable on a real
GBC.
My original idea for this thumbnail art didn't work because the Game Boy resolution is too low to make the
details visible. Making an adaptation of the CHASER
cover art was my backup plan.
