[Wabbit Season]

Was hoping Elmer would've had his boy p*ssy fudged -- still good content. Gave me the good ol' LMAO.

[The Gold Men]

Solid animation! It feels like the beginning of something. You should make a series out of this and explore the characters more. Great start.

[animating Halina's tits]

Very organic jiggle!

[Hop Dude Nights: The Meatball of Invisibility]

Cute short game. I could see it work with more of the laid back comic book narration.

[WITCH DUEL]

If you mash the 4 letters you can complete the game without any effort. Seems broken until that is fixed. Feels a little empty. Maybe add effects as you're working up the spell?

[Bullethead]

You wrote this is a concept, so I assume it's not all finished? But I'll state my issues just in case anything was overlooked. The two guns bound to key 1 & 2 keep the same firing sound regardless if you have ammo or not. I didn't realize I was out of ammo until I noticed the enemies weren't taking damage.

Another issue for me was I wish I could clearly see that I was landing shots. There's a lack of visual information; especially when I am running and strafing. The rocket launcher has no visual projectile, so it feels a little weird to see nothing then a sudden explosion taking out enemies.

In the center of the map enemies ran directly through the obstacles, which made it useless for a barrier. Another problem spot is north most of the map. There's a wood plank between two tubs. If you touch down on the top side of the plank enemies get stuck on the left and right sides.

The art direction looks good. Especially the character and weapon design. The only weak link for me would be the environment. The bullet time effect was really cool. It was satisfying to see the bullets suspended then fly toward the enemies.

In its current state it's incomplete, so I can't provide a complete score. Keep at it!

[Ditchy - Then & Now (GTB Remix)]

Old school vibe with a modern mix. I didn't feel the synth at 1:30 was drowned out, however it is conflicting with the arps in my ear; might need some frequency cutting. This makes it slightly grating on the mix side. I do feel that the melody isn't in the forefront, and it's fighting for the limelight. So there's a problem somewhere in there.

I don't have any qualms with the composition of the song. It's uplifting and energetic. It has more of a video gamey feel to me -- like the start of something. The bass has a phat tone that bites, what synth is that? :D

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks for your review! I'll have to take a look at the mix for that synth, it seems to be problematic with the mix and makes the arp stay behind through that uplifting part.

About the bass, it is a preset I made in Sylenth1 that I called Super Trance Bass, it has a special HP and LP build to fill the lower and higher frequencies making it easier to give a track a "solid" sound.

Thanks again for your review!

[Potency (Cut)]

Hard to completely review a song that isn't complete, but I'll review with my impressions so far :)

It has an interesting build up; sort of a spacey ethnic vibe. This is more of a video gamey feel than a "radio listen". When it finally kicks in at 46 seconds I think the toms could use more punch. Not sure if it's the EQing or the samples you used? I think another element that could pull the listener in to the new section are some pads or added instruments. My ears feel that section has a lot of unused space.

In its current state it leaves me wanting to hear more which is a good start. Overall it's going in the right direction, but i'll need to hear more. I'll have to listen to the finished product. Keep at it!

[Reitselai Intro - Meta Crystal]

Sorry for the ignorance, because I know very little about LBP XD Are the samples from the game? If so, you may want to check the licensing for that.

The remix has an ethnic vibe which suits this melody. I checked the YouTube version for the whole "performance" and it's good. The instruments have a retro quality to them. Like the glorious days of early GM patches; used tastefully of course. I think this lends itself well the atmosphere of game music. I feel like I'm on the SNES, ha ha. You're catering to this nostalgia, right? However this sound serves a special niche and it doesn't go far away from that. Keep doing what you're doing as it is good for what it is :)

I reviewed this on the basis of the music and not your project. Best wishes and good luck.

Retsamehtmai responds:

Wow thank you! About the samples...the music sequencer you use in lbp has instruments that are specifically made for it. So it's pretty much like using a computer music synthesizing program, but with the game instead? I know that sounds weird, but the instruments can be used however players of lbp want to. The main thing about this song that is borrowed from meta crystal is the overall rhythm and baseline since I wanted it to sound both like that song and the original "reitselai intro" song I made. That's why I decided to put this song under a remix since all the parts of the song aren't necessarily originally made by me, even though I actually made the entire song from scratch. ^_^ (i need to upload the original reitselai intro theme eventually XD)
