You should definitely lower the volume of the vocals and try to make them more clean and fit into themix better. If they're the right volume with minimal effects processing it can sound good. The track is just loud right now, and thats no good unless it's clear what everything is.
Okay so the main reaction is less effects and cleaner vocals?
I definitely recommend you listen to the song it sounds very different to the first song.
Just listened to bits and pieces of it, and yeah it's pretty much what I expected. Not really any spot that catches listener attention. There's no wav, no bass, no kick, I mean, those are all really essential to keeping attention of the listener. The vocals were actually pretty hard to listen to because of the pure screechiness of it, but it was cleaner than I expected. Better mixed than I thought.

2. @ 9heart Sorry you found them annoying, Would you guys prefer if i change the types of screams on different lyrics? and when i record vocals it takes me a lot of takes but i do the whole song each take and i don't run out of breath so i dont think that's a problem

Damm, don't say "sorry". Makes me feel like i did something wrong and beeing a dick 
Well, about the screams, i just don't know. To be fair, before i heard of Chiptune i loved Punk and some Hardcore. For example i listened to alot of Comeback Kid. They not actually screaming, more like shouting. That's the best way i can describe it.
Also you are young aren't you? I know, you already sick of hearing this, but your Voice will might change in the future (mine only did slightly). To be honest, your screams are (for my opinion) a little bit to high, they have to be a little bit darker, depper.
Why you don't start out writing some danceable stuff, learn to perfect the ways of LSDJ and make cool tunes? Then you still can start to put in Vocals and Lyrics in it.
Have you checked out Stern Fucking Zeit? There pretty cool, i guess, i dig there style and also liked "Demotwentyeleven" of them. But on the other hand i also dig a way early release of them ("+Thaibit+", where they don't even have lyrics in a single tune (and there are 12 on it).
So you see, you can deplove your style thoughout the time you make music.

Don't feel bad bro But i have good news for you, my hardcore song i'm working on is actually influenced by Stern Fucking Zeit- Page Not Found So look forward to that. Yeah i am only 14 xD also i think i could learn to perfect LSDJ with vocals because then i'm perfecting both

dude, make what YOU like! Learn and practice as much as you can to achieve the sound YOU want. There is no right way to do anything. Don't bend backwards for anyone! Just try to listen to your music for what it is, and release your ep when you think it is exactly what your going for....I found the best way to achieve good art takes a lot of brainstorming and ideas first, and then all that technicality bullshit second......Really, you could make tracks that sound like a garbage disposal , but if the artistic theme matches up correctly it will work. Just please don't evereverever make music to please the masses, but still set your standards high of course....this is all just my opinion, you don't have to take my word for it.

Okay, your scream should change a little
the high range scream you are using is a cool trick for a couple of lines, but not a whole song, bring it too the mid range... I havent been in the post-hardcore scene for a couple of years so I dont know if Asking Alexandria is still something I can reference safely, but that range is what you are in need of. low range would sound too muffled with this fidelity. also... breakdowns are cool
I actually really like the track but naming things after Kingdom Hearts is kinda confusing, I would be careful, especially with chip music, game references are too expected. but thats not a big deal, Kingdom Hearts is aces.
EDIT: even though I just released a song called Z-Saber...

Yeah my next song currently has a lot less high pitched screams, The reason the song is named after Kingdom Hearts is the lyrics (That nobody can understand) is about leaving Destiny Islands
@shitbird That is great advice!

Destiny Island, or Departing from Destiny Island would be a cool name
Shitbird is right though; you are you, not me
