two or more squarewaves in unison with a touch of detuning are a nice, soft sound as well. you'll need a knack for channel juggling or maaaaaybe another gameboy for that.

dunno what else to say other than sound-design stuff - the writing aspect depends on so many things and is totally up to you in the end!

But yeah, i guess that's the key. Use dreamy bleep & bloop sounds and make it flow.
Even if it sucks, i kinda did this ones. Sweet Dreams and so.
