TGWTG versus dr. Insano TGWTG versus dr. Insano

Rated 4 / 5 stars March 2, 2012

Wow, that was kind of amazing. It's definitely filled with inside jokes, to be sure, and that will NOT suit everyone's tastes. For those familiar with TGWTG, though, this is pretty awesome. The animation is a little sub-par, though, but it still gets the message across well enough. Nice work, man.

Glad you liked it!

I'll try to work more on my animation, sure.


Dear, Princess Dear, Princess

Rated 4 / 5 stars February 26, 2012

That was a very sweet flash video. 'Course, the site isn't really geared toward Christian stuff, and power to the site for that, but in all honesty people who are offended by this video can do what other people should do when something offends them and ignore it - there's an entire section dedicated to making religiously offensive material that other people simply have learned to ignore, so it's quite hypocritical to attack a video just because you don't believe it's message.

The animation was alright (anime Jesus? What is this...?), and the voice acting was passable, and the message has been heard before. Nonetheless, it was still very well constructed; the symbolism is really quite effectively placed throughout, and the quoting of a passage about love at the end made it impossible to mistake what you were talking about.

In fact, I will actually agree with some of the more polite atheist messages saying that most people will catch the symbolism perfectly fine without a description (that's what symbolism is for, after all), so you can get the best of both world if you leave a less wordy description of the video (say, for example, this is about Jesus' love... and leave it there).

Otherwise, nice movie - I enjoyed it.

Action Bunnies 2 Action Bunnies 2

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 26, 2011

Very much like ASDF movie...

... but with more interesting animation and bunnies. It's done quite well, like the aformentioned movies, as well, which also makes me wonder why it's hanging on such a low score.

Fun, but broken

This is a fun game, but if you figure it out it becomes far too easy. If people figure out to avoid the Firepower upgrade after what is visually the highest level they will keep their quick fire rate, if one collects all the shields that player is essentially invulnerable for the entire level, and every 10,000 pixels (EVERY 10,000 pixels) nets them an extra life... considering there are roughly 80-90k pixels to shoot in the levels past 10, that's a lot of extra tries. After a while one doesn't need to try - just collect shields, avoid FP, and kill oneself if they get too many FP upgrades.

Any one of these very simple changes could make the game viably hard in the later stages. Remove free ships after... say, 100k points (or make it something very difficult to achieve, like every 100k points). Keep one's FP upgrades if one dies (that way for every upgrade they accidentally collect they are cumulatively. punished for). Remove shields after a certain point in the game. Any one of these changes (or any combination, for that matter) will make the game into something that will eventually end.

Otherwise, it was pretty good.

Awesome game

Well, excellent concepts, great gameplay, awesome music, decent story. It's pretty damn good.

The exposition is a bit painful, at times. The length of the conversations are quite distracting. Short and sweet would've been great, here.

The battles are fun, but a little broken with the shield. The game could go with less of a 'Defend like a mother while hitting with small hits' style battle with the bosses and more of a 'Time your chains right and let loose' style, instead. The latter style is considerably more entertaining and interesting than the former. Removing the ability to strike while defending would add quite a bit of depth to the gameplay, imho.

Otherwise this was an excellent game. Nice work on it.

Breath of Fire III -BossT Breath of Fire III -BossT

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars March 13, 2012

Hmm... I think your sounds could be nice, but the mixing in this makes it very hard to hear anything over the bass. Bring out your melodies, make the textures more salient and raise the levels on this track, since as it stands it's not really possible to hear much of anything.

The issues are almost 100% mixing. I suggest fixing the mixing and the volume of the track (it's very, very quiet) and re-uploading, since I could see this being alright, otherwise.


SmashesCupcakes responds:

I agree with you I didn't really check it out after I exported it from Fl Studio. After I heard it I was like... crap. But as for now I can't re-upload it without making a completely new upload so It's stuck like this until further notice :/ Thanks for the review though! I'll take your advice and redo the mixing!


Nobuo-esque 8bit (famitracker) Nobuo-esque 8bit (famitracker)

Rated 4 / 5 stars March 9, 2012

Huh, this actually evokes more 'Dragon Quest' for me. That's not a bad thing, really - Nobuo Uematsu was told to imitate THAT style in some form or another back in the day, so it has it's roots in Uematsu, somehow. Sounds like a DQ beginner's castle...

The triangle in this is a bit dominating, here. Bringing up the rectangle waves up a bit would be a good idea so the piece balances itself better.

Not bad at all.


EmperorCharlemagne responds:

when i made this, i knew absolutely NOTHING about famitracker, so I've improved a *little* bit in that time.

thanks for the advice though.


Genetic Malformation Genetic Malformation

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 5, 2012

This isn't too bad, actually

The intro + outro are great, though they take a little more time from the track than they should. The vocals are quite good, for what they are - even the regular singing works when you can hear it (though as it's mixed, right now, for most of that section the guitars drown the vocals completely). The guitar work is heavy, chuggy and awesome.

I liked it quite a bit, overall. Rock on, man. \m/ ( -_- ) \m/
