Ultimate Labyrinth

I'm impressed with the final product! I think the thing that makes this game gold is the submission ability beforehand; not many games do that, and whenever a game DOES have that option, well it makes me, personally, want to play the game even more than I would've otherwise.

Another thing, thanks for using my loop! And actually, it kinda got to me after a while; but this teaches me a lesson: Make longer loops. Haha.

I am really looking forward to submitting to the next one.

Nice theme; theming is great. Game is a bit dull... why a spark, shouldn't it be... a mouse? =P Well, fun game anyway. And I went around the long way on level 11, that was pretty cool. ^^

Karco - Beginnings(Incomplete)

"Finally"

date: July 18, 2008

I totally agree with APPS about overrated unprofessional songs getting the attention, instead of the ones that really are good and don't get any. This is one of those said good ones. The only thing I can say thus far is that I think the bass could use another layer, at least in the intro so far because there isn't so much of a groovy bass sense going on, if you catch my drift X.X The pads are damn pretty... :D The blips seem fine too. If I was listening on monitors I might be able to give you more specific critique but from what I'm hearing now things sound pretty fine EQ-wise. The song seems to get muddy upon the entrance of the snare at 2:20, I guess because the snare takes up a lot of the leads freqs. 2:57 is cool with the breakdown-within-breakdown thing. Nice sidechain there too. Some pretty cool chords, but nothing I haven't heard so far in the song, until that lead at 3:56, which is damn cool. It's carrying such a good melody too! Aha, I can tell this song is going to leave me hanging, Nooooo! The melodic climax at the end is cool but I feel like you can do something different with the leads/chord progression; maybe you haven't gotten that far yet. Anyway, sorry for the long review; I tend to leave those. This is a great track and this is the kind of stuff I want NG to have more of! ^.^

There are overrated unprofessional songs that get the attention, but it's not that big of a problem, often the better ones make it up there - Pulstate's songs were on the All-Time Best last week and this week, for example, and xKore's song View made Weekly 5th this week. It's timing and luck mostly. ;)

I've never really tried layering bass synths, mostly because of the mess in the mix (which is a mess already in my opinion) it would cause if I did it wrong. I could have, I guess, possibly with a less bassy synth to make mixing easier.

I don't mind the long review, I actually prefer it to, say, a completely useless one-liner with a ten out of ten rating. ;D Thanks, and glad you liked it.

Not bad at all for just starting out! You have some good chord ideas in here. I won't be harsh with production critique because I understand that is something that grows with experience. I agree with the previous reviewer that a beat (even a slow one) would make it sound more complete, but it's okay. Good luck in the future! :D

Rotate (Original Mix)

"Awestruck"

date: July 16, 2008

Seriously man, you've got insane skill. Your melodic style is absolutely fantastic; the style I myself have been trying to achieve for a long time, dark, energetic, yet euphoric. Bass fits in the frequency spectrum perfectly... I wish I had monitors to listen from. Man every note seems perfect... the accidentals and everything! Well I think this is one of the best I've heard on NG. Needs more attention, for sure! 10/10 and 5/5 ^^
