[How To: Win a Daily]

yay underdog

i liked this flash because it used 100% not stolen shit. haha i really appreciate when people use portal music instead of ripping copyrighted audio. i thought it was pretty funny and the animation wasn't that bad. it's a more realistic take on front page get. cheating is bad!
anyway, vida, riqueza, y amor.

Little-Rena responds:

Well, I used a screenshot and a poster because I was too lazy to draw those, but yeah, I always try to use portal music when I can. Thanks for the review and yes, cheating is bad :O

A solid 'OKAY!'

This isn't half bad. It would have been better if it wasn't all shoops of animals or frightening dogs or anything. I would watch more of them though :D.

Keep them coming!

I don't know what issues you could have had with this. It is unique and not robbing from any other franchises to be funny. Your humor is excellent :D. Plz to be not rest on your laurels and make more?

[Newgrounds SIM v 1.2]

nothing as awesome as going onto my computer

to go onto my computer in a game online about being online. i'm joking, i love this, it's so pretty for a flash rpg and the skill raising screens are not obnoxious and it's just radical. my only complaint (years after the release, of course) is that i wish that skill building was on a random number generator (1 - 5 or something) just so that it wouldn't seem as repetitive as it is. but i'm still going to play this until i win so you win d00d.

This was sweet!

My biggest and only complaints are to bind weapons to keys, and TO BIND MOVEMENT TO W A S D! the arrow keys and the mouse together are not a good combination: that's why modern shooters started using WASD.

The graphics, style, difficulty, and everything else about the game were great! I was hooked on it and it was a good length. I liked the stylized art a lot. Awesome game.

[WR's Synth Jam : Chameleon]

average jam

the defining elements of herbie hancock's chameleon were absent here; where is the bassline (it just showed up at 3:14 for a little while)? the time on the synthesizer seemed off and the rhythm was a little variable. the melody was also a little wonky in parts; some rhythms and pitches were off the first time through the head. the solo was okay, nothing too great or too bad. i'm guessing the accompaniment was preprogrammed because it had that flat techno sound.

good effort, just work on time and rhythm in the song itself.

balance!

this song was kind of cool at the beginning and then it seemed to lack song and seemed to be more of a synthesizer extended solo. the time signature change either wasn't there or wasn't pronounced enough; i didn't hear it. i won't define what a time signature change means here because if i missed it that would just be insulting. the drums were washed out by the piercingly high synthesizer too much of the time, so the rhythm was missing from a lot of the song. there didn't seem to be a semblance of chord structure in the song and i feel the piece is lacking.

TheRamener responds:

The time signiture goes from 4/4 to 6/8 @ 1.24. Balance is definitely and synth tone are definitely valid issues here. This was more about me fucking around with big arpeggios than anything else, so i can totally understand the complaint about the lack of chord structure.

trippy

i liked the variety in this song, and the glitch drums were pretty sweet. your programming skills are pretty damn good. it seemed to get a little repetitive after the first break but something new came in just as i got to that point. there isn't a melody per se that i could pick out and at times it seemed kind of like a loop pyramid (i try to avoid those, but it works out for your song.) some kind of drum fills or instrument tags or something would be sweet. but that's getting into your realm of control and just what i like to hear, which isn't based on the merit of the music at all. the ending drum beat thing was kind of a let down considering the sonic mess it could have been for a song with this kind of sound.
