Lime tea:
Pretty cool. The stuff you do in the intro with alternating the main driving melody between high/low sounded pretty neat, although you should be careful with how you time the rhythm on it. Around ~0:07 I was thrown off by a sycopated-sounding note, so think about consistency and agency in where you place notes like that, because it can sound cool if it makes sense where you put it.
You might want to watch some of your harmonics as well. I heard a couple overly dissonant chords that you should probably look back over. Not sure whether that was entirely planned or not.
Another thing that continues to bother me a little is the repetition there, but I know it's a hallmark of the genre or whatever so you probably don't see it as a problem the way I do. At least consider adding some variation, even if it's only in pitch. It's quite common to keep a rhythm and just add variation in patterns in pitch.
Hovercrafts and tinfoil hats or something:
~0:06, ~0:13, etc. Please no please. You can move from one part to another without doing that :c
Otherwise, this one is short enough and there are enough independent voices to distract you from how repetitious they all are, so maybe surprisingly I don't have that issue with this one.
And a note about all those different parts you added. That can and does sound really cool in certain circumstances. In a song where most elements are giving off the vibes they do, though, maybe it's a bit out of place when you use it throughout almost the entire song. I did quite like it, but it came to a point where I would have wanted to hear one of the parts take precedence over the others and/or the other parts quietly resolve. Personally, I think things like that sound coolest when approached with the intention of creating tension & satisfyingly resolving the tension in a section directly following.
These are all sounding a lot more polished, well done, and downright cool then when you started not too long ago. You're doing great work, keep it up.
