Almost perfect.

The gameplay and graphics reminds me much of Another World. I liked it a lot, but it leaves too many unanswered questions; enough to actually force the player to come up with his or her own conclusion (which can be fun sometimes, but I'd rather know what the creator thinks in this case). I've drawn my own conclusions as to -why- this all happened, and about the sister and everything, but what do you think?

Regardless, I'd like to see more puzzle/thriller-like games in the future, great job!

Extremely addicting.

There is one thing that throws off gameplay, though: the confirmation that pops up when you complete a level. it basically throws off the flow, since it's abrupt, and you actually have to take your hand off the arrow pad to click for it to go away. If the game was to just flow, with no popup to indicate you've went up a level, it'd be 100% win.

Nice but...

You mix good and all that. But these are just segments of unfinished songs-- anyone can write a loop or something like a one-minute piece. Arranging a -full- song is the hard part (at least in my opinion).

So I can't really give this much credit. I mean, they're all nice. But if you're just showing them off because they're all "failures," then I'm naturally just going to have to agree with you and say better luck next time. Btw, looking up theory will definitely help with arranging compositions. You should look into it. They do sound pretty nice though. :)

Awesome stuff.

Felt like I was listening to Frog Pocket at the end there. I can hear the control that you had while making this, and that makes it all the better.

Great tune. :D

Thanks for the input! I'm a really big fan of Come On Primates, so it's seriously awesome to be compared to Frog Pocket.

:D:D

Hi, sorry it took so long to review this.

the intro is incredible, very well-done. Has sort of an Autechre feel and I love Autechre. Not digging the bass sounds, mainly because of the reverb. In my experience its pretty hard to get away with reverby basses.

At 2:25 I just feel like that's like the "climax" and I feel muuuuch more should be going on (my opinion of course). Listen to Aphex, Squarepusher, and Flashbulb and listen to the effects they use (flangering is an incredible effect for the amen). Not just with the Amen either. I was expecting a grungy hoover-synth or something, and generally more high-end stuff. :x that's the part where you go ALL OUT and fuck theory and cookie-cutter bs, you know? just like, slice chop beatmatch timestretch automating shit you've never thought of record yourself screaming into a mic and compress the fuck out of it etc. I dunno, that's the fun part :D. Not trying to tell you how to build your song or anything, just throwing that out there really.

Lucid Bass II by The Flashbulb has some pretty neat phase/flanger effects right of the bat, listen to that song for some ideas to apply to your amen. :>

Overall this is actually really awesomely arranged. Definitely isn't expected and challenging, which is what IDM artists should strive toward. Great job Anwar! :D

ChampionAnwar responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Honestly the bass sound had reverb already, I had a like ~3% reverb on the whole thing when mixing it down to give it the 'in the hall performing' sound. . so I guess I'll have to fix that- though I'd have to agree, I've heard very little songs that work with a reverb'd bass.

Honestly, that's the maddest I've ever gone when it comes to IDM drums at that speed (230BPM off the top of my head). I listened to that tune, and this reminds me why Benn Jourdan is so amazing. I mean though I frequent people like Venetian Snares / Squarepusher / Aphex Twin a lot more, his stuff is epiclu awesome indeed ^^. I suppose I'm just not that aggressive when it comes to sequencing drums, but I'm getting there :D! Oh and I actually remember that theory. gooood times gooooooood times hehehehehehehehe. Also- basic slicing is the pure winner in this situation, no need for envoloping (just thought I'd add that) :D!

Oh and also, I'll let you do that recording stuff first. . .I just don't want it to sound like ear rape *Cough* making orange things XD!

Thanks for the awesome advice as always Ron, it's always good to hear your opinions and pointers. It always helps greatly. I'll be tuning in a lot more :D! Oh DbX ^______^

Awesome job!

And Great. You're awesome at being great at doing stuff that is good. You need to be payed for your talent.

I'm just wondering...

Why THIS of all things is getting so much praise and like constant 10/10 reviews (most people just saying LOL I HATE TIALZ LUL HE GAY). I'm not offended or anything, and rape humor can be hilarious if executed properly, but i dunno, i didn't even smirk at this. Maybe I'm missing something, but regardless I know there are tons of other frontpage-worthy comical pieces that deserve the front page more than this. There will be rageful angry tails-nazis after me to mark this as a 'useless' comment telling me that i shouldn't have reviewed or whatever, but the only reason why i did is because this is on the front page and well, I don't think it deserves it. Just IMO. Pce.
