[Dark Knight Interrogation]

Funny, but not great

It starts out pretty funny, but it just has no pacing. I feel like it has too much of the original, and I just end up watching a more drawn out version. The whole time I'm waiting for the jokes to pick up again.

Your animation is good, the voices are cool, but the pacing is just weak

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

Excellent Music Vid

The syncing is great and what I like most about it is that the animation style is reminiscent of Zombie's (Beavis and Butthead stuff) while being your own. Awesome job.

Krebskopf responds:

Yeah, Zombie's own artistic style is very Ed Roth influenced, which in turn I used a similar style for certain elements in this (the green guy in hell). Thanks for the review!

[Can I Play With Madness]

WooHoo!

Iron Maiden, Guilty Gear and Madness? It's not even my birthday!

Seriously though, the camera effects with the zooming were awesome. Way to have a madness feel with your own style. Killing the singer was totally hilarious, and the end was great.

Happy late Madness day indeed!

[Trever's Street Walk]

I'll take the good with the bad

Good:
*Enemy Designs and unique deaths for each
*Fast paced action
*Upgrades really show
*Cool intro (although it goes with all your games...)

Bad:
*The screen gets so cluttered you can't see the deadly shit that's flying at you
*The lag in the controls after you respawn accounts for a quarter of my health bar lost each time
*No need to limit ninja stars as they end up in infinite supply
*Too Short
*Needs a boss fight
*Maybe needs to start slow then get frantically fast
*If longer, needs extra lives scattered in with the carnage

Overall, I enjoyed it and was disappointed when it came to an abrupt and unceremonious end

[Eternal Red]

Was absolutely wonderful at first

Great game, love the graphic style. Unfortunately, just as I got a god setup going, a flying baddie got stuck on the outside of the arena. The next wave never came. It was one of the ones in the 60's, with all the spikes. :(

[Generic Defender Game]

Well it's allright

Things it needs
*Sound
*Actual Directions
*A Real Name

Things it has
*Polished Graphics
*A Coherent goal

Overall, not awful for a first, but not all there

[Combine Machinery Hall]

4 hours?

^ Jealous.

This is fabulous, it has the half life vibe and is amazingly atmospheric. Those noises in the beginning are incredible.

I can't find a single issue with it. Awesome

vai90 responds:

4 hours of constant working that is. Nothing to be jealous about, could've taken less but at one point I had to delete a whole section of the melody due it being to upbeat.^^

Thx for the 10! =)

[Retribution (Mac8)]

Wears me down

I really dug the intro, given the concept that it was a madness MAC I knew it would heat up, and I appreciated not being punched in the face with sound as soon as it began. However something in the high strings really bugs me, I don't know whether there is an actual issue there or if it's personal preference but something about it doesn't sit right for me.

Once the drums kicked in, I actually liked their erratic feel. I agree with other reviewers that it lacks a real groove, but that is what I liked about it. That said, it could have been a bit better plotted out. I understand the sort of organized chaos you were going for, but it felt a little ... forced?

Then the real problem hit. It doesn't really go anywhere, your main drum beat didn't change at all, very little new material was introduced and it was just outright boring in the middle. At first I really did like it, but while I was eagerly anticipating where the tune would go, I eventually had to face the truth that it wasn't going anywhere. I mean, there is the part where you revisit the intro, but every time I hear that specific drum beat it just reminds me of what I didn't like

I liked the ending, and that you contrasted the chaos with a grounded beginning and end works well.

Overall, I did like it, but it just didn't go the distance for me

Good luck in the comp however.

Quarl responds:

It's all preference. Dunno. Live I'm more of a funky drummer, here I'm an dnb producer. I should start taking the view that there really isn't much of a correlation.

[Forsaken (Epic Black Doom)]

Oh yes, that is metal

Dark and evil like the title promised, swelling with all the torment of old school black metal. Really solid riff and great evil feel. it really has that "the devil has set foot" sort of feel to it. The only think i would suggest is some distorted speech, like low and unintelligible if you have the capacity

This is awesome.
