Super PSTW Action RPG

"Only one quip"

date: May 19, 2009

The artwork is superb and the voice acting is phenomenal, the challenges are well thought out and the currency system is unique to the game, the twists are endless without becoming redundant and the story is rich in detail. The world you designed reflects the harshest of the deserts, the calmest of villages and the ruthlessness of decrepit castles.

However, you need to develop some element of interactivity, maybe, if you let the user press space when something happens.

The Worlds Strongest Man

"Great"

date: April 25, 2009

Fantastically fantastic simple, yet dynamic, button masher.

It'd be nice to see an overall ranking while you play through the events to see your place. maybe even do events at the same time against the high ranking computer for that event.

[Speed Rap]- Cynical Pinnacle

"Awesome"

date: September 19, 2009

I slowed it down and you still had good timing with the beat.

Well, take into consideration that I rapped it acapella. The beat was done in hindsight as complimentary. It has no dedicated BPM. :P

Rucklo - Fear t. Flight REJECT

"Holy shizna"

date: September 19, 2009

It sounds like if you took an boomin' Italian club at 2 am and crazy goings-ons inside and ran it through a bit crusher.

The dissonance is spot on and I love the bass pumps.

Oh my fair Ruckie

Back To The Front [ K B ]

"Very ethereal"

date: July 31, 2009

I agree with the Thom Yorke reference, it almost sounds like Beatles-ish, and I don't even listen to the Beatles!

The first part kind of reminds me of any Chris Clark track that breaks down into a rhythmic ambience. Very calming, very ominous. Cloudy premonition for the big kick-in.

The vocal layering and falsetto singing style fit in real well with how upfront that synth is, my first immediate visualization is that dancing synth and it's kind of like a dude trying to climb a rainbow colored escalator. An uncontrollable and psychedelic event where the singing tries to guide you through the craziness.

Even though it's a very tame sound, I'm suprised you didn't do something special with the beats. But I suppose the simplicity kept the rest on track.

I've always been bad with lyrics so I can't make them out on this one.

Nice work m8.

P.s., I submitted a Hermit track not too long ago that's aching for your input.

Thanks for the review. The main body of this trk apart from the end synthline was on an old casio tr-20 even the beats, so i just kept it really simple and let the riffs try to do the talking:P (also, this whole song was made before I really got into the whole beats mashing and gltiching thing:)
The lyrics are.... "Any chance that I might go ahead of you, Is there any chance you might let me skip the queue", then layered over that "If anything I said, it wouldn't be easy, trying to get from the back to the front." then underlaying that quietly in the background i'm singing '"too many cars" but i learnt how to sing this line backwards then forwarded it to get that sort of odd sound to them.
