Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Merry Illuminatimas]

Ahh, don't think I fully realized that you'd made this track, though I must've spotted the name somewhere. Been listening tons to it while searching for all them hidden references, and never bothered turning down the music, so that's gotta count for something! It's got a nice, airy, jazzy, melancholy mysterious tone to it. Nice work!

[My Last Bonus Level]

What a happy and energetic track! I like how it all starts with that Mario-ish coin jump too, and then you get the reward. Wonder if those coin-type sounds are regular sfx or if you apply them via a sequencer/thing? Nice work!

Mattashi responds:

Thanks Cd :)
I got the SFX from a free Vst you can download online called "Toad" it has a few 8-bit drums and other special FX included.

[The Investigation]

A trippily ambient little melody. I like the atmosphere, calm but that occasional mysterious melody like... something's about to happen. Reminds me of Parasite Eve a bit. Nice work!

[The Laughing Sun]

I love the pompous sound of this. When it started out, I thought it'd be like an overture for the real thing, but as it turns out... that was the real thing. As much as I love the melody I feel like it could've transformed into something different, better maybe? Not sure what I was expecting, but it seems to repeat itself, and never really reach that grand finale.

The melody is tense, feels both mysterious and tied to old times, war times maybe... I start imagining an expanding Third Reich as the music plays, the melody a tone of melancholy, despair, might and mystery. Marching armies, strength, an undying wish for a world that never should've been and never will be... that's the kind of vibes I get from this. :) Great music!

ET16 responds:

Thank you cyber! You're not the first person to complain about the looping, Ok then I will make another version that actually has an ending finale. Thank you for the review again :)

[W.I.P. some techno.]

That is one funky beat! Sounds a bit like dubstep btw, wonder where the border lies between that and techno? Anyway, love that jumpy vibe hack, and some VG inspiration towards the end. Energetic and inspiring!

[The Horizon(beta version)]

An incredibly smooth and ambient tune! I like how you've mixed in sound effects from nature along with the music, makes it feel all the more naturally ambient. Beat picks up in a creative way, and from there it keeps on flowing! Plenty of interesting effects and transitions along the way, and occasionally it has this tense 'something's about to happen' sound to it too. Nice work!

[play girl janze remix]

A happy song! Voice seems somewhat sharp compared to the music, but it does have clarity. Melody's fun and funky. Wonder what the original sounded like... nice work!
