Okay, I know what you're thinking... "Couldn't this guy have read the how to get CC thread?" or "Couldn't he be more specific?" or "Uh-oh, here we go again..." But...
I'm relatively new to chiptune after picking up a drag 'n' derp and LSDJ, and I am just using my previous experience with electronic music, so I have a rough idea of what I'm doing, but I would just like some people who know about chiptune to listen, and offer some feedback, any thoughts at all will be accepted. I just need a rough idea. So, thank you, and please listen!

I think these tracks have potential (I think Castle especially is pretty catchy.) the one thing I would say you need to do is work a bit on sound design- most of your sounds appear to just be straight squarewaves. Try experimenting a bit with tables and see what kind of cool lead and bass sounds you can throw together, and then pop those into the compositions.
Another great way to learn sound design in LSDJ would be to check out other peoples' sav files and see how they're constructing their instruments. Danimal Cannon's records come with sav files,and contain a wealth of information- I recommend picking them up and examining them.
Good luck!

Just stick to it. do not limit yourself to just lsdj. Try recording yourself making beats with gb electric drum, then drag lsdj back on to your cart and compose something that fits to your natural rhythm. sludgeon 2 is fun also. nanoloop and nanovoice are neat once you figure out how to sync stuff it is really cool. be sure to learn to sync things by ear for awhile before you let a silicon chip do it for you. LOOK UP BEAT MATCHING. stay away from music theory. set everything 15 cents sharp for better resonance.

Thank you for the feedback! Kris K, I'll look into it, thank you very much!
Bitjacker, I'm a little confused by what you mean, I know what beat matching is, having a little experience with DJ'ing, but I'm still unsure on what I need it for? I'm making everything on the gameboy, and don't really have the facilities to do much outside of just the gameboy, so recording loops isn't going to be particularly easy... But I love music theory! 
ahaha! But thank you, I'll have a look into those roms.

Just want to second what KK Slider said. Tables will be your best friend when it comes to really adding life to your instruments. Maybe just spend some time getting comfortable with the effect commands, layering them in tables, and maybe even diving into automation in tables - allowing the instrumenta to start writing the track for you. Once youre comfortable with tables and pulse and noi channels, you can dive into the endless void of greatness that is the wav channel. Whatever you do, learn to love tables, they will bring shit to life. I

These are really good for beginner tracks. It's already been said, you gotta work on sound design a bit more but that's just figuring out how to use LSDJ. It's obvious you know how to write good melodies and music, so spend more time figuring out how to make interesting sounds and instruments with the program. Good job!
