Are... you sure those are the right notes at 0:15? I feel like the harmony is off, relative to the original.
I don't think I got any notes wrong at that particular part, however, I did notice a note was a bit off at another part but I thought it sounded okay despite that.

The part for one of the main leads is fairly clearly off at the point Xky mentioned, it sounds out of tune. Maybe off by an octave? At least a few semitones. One only needs to hear the original IMF to confirm this.

That being said, it's a cool idea, although I do wonder about "8-bit" remixes of essentially mono, 8-bit sounding tracks. Anyway, tweak one half of the lead instruments and it will be a lot easier to judge fairly. :)

I made a mashup of Hillville and the athletic theme from Yoshi's Island:

Hey, that's a neat idea! Now that I think of it, those two songs sound pretty close! The mashup sounds nice and I like the baby Keen sprite!

I'm glad you like it! I was actually thinking about how this might be something you'd like when I was releasing it!

Maybe this is a bit different.
I animated a commander keen music video based on "Commander Keen 4 - Secret of the Oracle". I hope you like it!

Delightful! Also a great song, very professional-sounding performance. :)

I didn't make any of the following remixes, but I had to share them nonetheless since they're so neat (and would qualify for the next Keen Awards!):

I made remixes of a couple of Commander Keen 4 tracks years ago, I could put those up somewhere if anyone's interested.
