I know that it's not like the BEST FRICKIN THING IN THE WORLD, but I did it quickly using keyboard and doing as little editing as possible. The string patches used are:

I put all of the attacks up so that it fades in and quickly overlapped notes.

Thanks for listening. =)

This is obviously not for a battle scene in the game, so it might help some here if you set the scene to help explain the piece some.

It is very short and has little going on. Is it supposed to be a death scene?

I really like it.. It does remind me of the night.

I like the melody a lot.

This is a very unusual piece :O I like its minimalistic approach at conveying the weird atmosphere.

Well my opinion of this will depend on the context. If this plays whilst the words "Game Over" are displayed on the screen, then it definitely works!

Whatever it's for though, I think a bit of TLC and some more development would be good for it. You use a lot of the same harmonies a few times, and it gets a bit repetitive I found even though it's short. Try playing with the repeat harmonies a little, in a piece like this even a single semi-tone difference can make a repeated harmony much more interesting.

The fading you use also doesn't quite work with the shorter notes that are in there. It isn't often, but during those fast transitions you might want to try pitch bending the notes into place rather than quickly fading in and out on each one.
