"haha"

Haha, was that being offensive for the sake of being offensive?
Outrageously funny stuff.

-ReBound 2-

"It was great!"

submission: -ReBound 2-
date: November 19, 2007

I thought this was a really good game. Great presentation, great soundtrack too.
I'd disagree with the people who say it needs a storyline, it would make it cliché and pretty crap. I just want to shoot stuff! :D
The three weapons idea was cool - good call.
My only gripe would be that the target speed was quite off. Maybe not start it so slow, and not finish so high? Start faster, but not so much of an acceleration difference.
Great game though- I'd definately play again.

Breathe...

"Touching"

submission: Breathe...
date: November 16, 2007

Losing one of my own parents, I can really relate to this story. I wouldn't go as far as taking my own life, but I've certainly felt that... emptiness and worthlessness.
Pretty basic storyline, but you couldn't really go wrong there which is good.
The graphics were good, not over shiny, but not basic either. Just there for the story. I really liked it when the child got an (imaginary) kiss on the cheek from her memories of her parents- that part really sunk into me.
The only two things I could suggest is maybe not compress the song so much, maybe leave it in the original quality. And also, maybe do it extremely slow when she jumps off the building, and fade out very slowly too. That would look good.
Overall, very touching flash which has a real meaning to me.

ArcAngel

"Pretty much what koezan has said already"

submission: ArcAngel
date: March 21, 2009

Yeah, he's/she's already said pretty much everything.
Also, some different synths and VSTs would be good- these sound very thin.
Have you tried out some subtle delay or reverb?

I really do like the chords though- but they seem to punchy for my taste.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I know these synths suck, I didn't have anything better at the time though :P Now I have z3ta+ and Nexus, I'll be able to make much nicer sounding stuff haha!
And yeah, I should use some subtle effects in the background... would improve it a lot ;)

If I do update this piece, then I'll upload it here so you can compare!

Thanks,
Chris

By the way, Koezan is a guy :P My friend :P

The Quest Goes On

"Not bad for a second submission"

submission: The Quest Goes On
date: March 21, 2009

The melody synth seemed a bit harsh on the ears, but I guess that's 8-bit for ya'
The drums could have been more exciting too- bit more variation. And some new sounds too. If you want any samples let me know- I could zip up a pack for you
The arranging was actually very good though. I think it was the synths and samples used holding it back. Could you maybe give me the FL Studio project file to this sometime? I'd like to have a little play with it.
Yeah, not bad :)

Author's Response:

Sure, I'd be happy to send it to you!
I love this theme so much, I've toyed with it for a long time! this is obviously chiptune styled one, but I'll probably get around to make a much more upbeat Techno version or something :)

Jump Around 08

"Why?"

submission: Jump Around 08
date: August 29, 2008

I thought it was rather horrible.
It's just you rapping with some bad rhymes and a crappy filter altering the tone of your voice.
And behind that, it's just the original Jump Around looped over and over.
Really not worth a listen.
