It's actually a mandolin, but let's face it, the distinction isn't terribly clear with this kind of synthesizer.

Thank you for the detailed comments!

Yep, I tried to go quite retro, although I haven't played that game.

Unfortunately I'm not a game developer, but for what it's worth, if I were one, you're just the kind of composer I'd be looking for.
Much appreciated! The idea was to have something "classic" sounding that fits "classic" style games. When I hear high-end instrument samples being used in indie 2D, old school games, something just doesn't quite click with me. So I tried to experiment a bit.
