[Happy Clock Day 11]

What....

Well, there's not much to say about this. I guess the drum loop is pretty good, but it does get repetitive after a while. Sounds like something you'd find in the main menu of any flash game. Not really sure

And about the animation: to be honest, I used flash for about 3 days before quitting, and I could have animated this. Perhaps this can be used as proof that you know how to create a .swf file and put it on newgrounds, but outside of that, I don't see why you bothered uploading this. Maybe I'm just not in the spirit of clock day....

[Da Clocktopia Ghetto]

teehee

I actually found this quite humorous. The computer voice is so damn funny when you juxtapose it with ganstas, weed, and clocks. The intentional mispellings were very funny to read. Lol at the disclaimer at the end

I think this flash has lots of potential. Perhaps you could have done more on screen shenaniganery as the gansta was talking. Like when he talks about the cops, maybe have some cops chase a gangsta in the bg or something? But overall, good work!

Tee hee right back atcha. Here's another one: Tee hee!

[SSBB: Pit's Wii Remote]

Amusing.

I could see you worked on the main character quite a bit. The storyline was pretyy short, but to the point. Voice acting was kool, and the sfx were well timed. The flash was also pretty funny, too. Good work!

Suggestions: The flash was short. very short. like these. sentences that. I am. writing now. There needs to be something that comes after, maybe kirby destroying the wiimote?

MCYoshi responds:

Yes it is short, but wasn't going to make something long for my first effort. Glad you liked it though and thanks for the review.

[All That Monkey Business]

Actually quite difficult for me -__-

The concept of the game is quite good. The music fits very well too. However, I think there is a lot you could add, especially some sound effects. %uFF2Daybe even a plunger gun for the player to "hold" as he is shooting monkeys. Good start though!

[Depict1]

Interesting game

Lol at the walking sfx.

[Toss the Turtle]

Weeeeeeeeee....

Its kinda like kitty cannon but A BAZILLION TIMES BETTER. I really like how you can control your turtle in flight and have some contrl on what he lands on.

My Record: 1,276,875 feet and stopped by spikes.

[Spacejava (Dj Sonik)]

Very very nice

I could definitely see this playing in the background of a phone app or a PC program. The song is really relaxing, and yet at the same time there's a distinct rhythm that makes me want to move inside.

Pointers for me:

-If this is going to be playing in the menu or main home screen of the app, then I feel it is ok as is in terms of variance of melodies. However, if this is going to be played constantly throughout the use of the program, then I think that you should vary it a bit more. Currently, you have the smooth piano and the spiccato lead in the background along with the percussion, and it does tend to get a little repetitive after a while. I feel that you could introduce a spacey lead or something in the middle.

-0:31 that transition (or relative lack thereof) is very unfitting. Even if you are going to reintroduce the piano back into the track, there definitely needs to be something to smoothly transition from the relaxing piano to the more upbeat spiccato. Maybe a pause, and a short drumroll or percussion sequence before the other lead starts up again?

That being said, I think the piano and the rest of the track mesh very well. Just a couple things here and there that I think would make this track much better. Good luck to your buddy as well!

[Seasons in the Abyss w/ vox]

That's one long intro....

But still pretty awesome.

The lyrics were a bit iffy for me on this one (again, I don't listen to Heavy Metal alot, so I'm not sure what the norm is). Not because of the feeling they evoke, but because I feel they are somewhat underdeveloped. I see these images of blood and insanity, but I keep wondering what message you are trying to convey. Is insanity something to embrace, something inevitable, something you choose?

But overall, stunning work again!

Schleif responds:

thanks a lot! this is actually a cover of song by a band called Slayer, so i can't really talk about the 'real' meaning and message of the song. to me, it's subject to your own interpretation. i thank you, and Demon-Slayer12 thanks you!

[Zombie Jesus]

Very professional sounding.

I usually don't listen to Heavy Metal, so pardon me if I get terms/techniques mixed up.

The guitar riffs are phenomenal. The percussion is varied yet keeps a steady beat for the duration of the song. I also like how you panned the vocals around near the middle of the song.

Just one suggestion from me, and a minor one at that. Have you ever tried putting distortion on your vocals? I feel that for a song with a title such as "Zombie Jesus" it would fit right in.

Awesome song, sounds like something I'd hear on the radio.

Schleif responds:

really awesome to get a review like this from someone who usually don't listen to metal! never tried distorting vocals. i might try messing with that in the future. thanks a lot for the review!
