octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[rock my world]

It's really fun and energetic :D
I like how quick the energy kicks in, and the arp helps make it sound more zoomy and exciting. Sounds like something that would fit well in a late 2000s flash game. Keep up the great work as always!

early-mid 00's racing games vibes to me, thank you for the review!

[LittleTownTheme]

Very peaceful and serene, I almost fell asleep after I realized the song has already looped four times haha

I really like this though! It reminds me of old RPG's that would have this kind of music in peaceful areas; maybe its the strings, maybe it's the progression, but either way it somehow sounds very nostalgic. The melody was pretty and could fit the beginning of a new day, or the theme of a rainy day on a farm or something like that. Great work, keep it up!!

thanks!

[Filo]

Really soft and pretty :D
Sounds like something that would play while you are sitting on a balcony at night having chocolate milk or something, at least that's what came to my mind lol. I like the progressive introduction of slightly more instruments throughout the song to keep it interesting too. Keep up the good work!

[AND THEN]

This song feels like something that would play on a breezy walk through a city park without a care in the world, I really like it! Sometimes songs give me a very specific feel for some reason and this is one of them. I like the combination of instruments you used; the main woodwind provides a nice constant familiar layer, while the glockenspiel sounding instrument gives a little bit of flair and magic. The brass gives this feeling of "coolness" kinda, the piano provides a nice foundation, and the percussion just gives it a nice little energetic kick. All together it just sounds like a really fun song and I think you did a great job, so keep it up :D

Thanks!

[Genesis]

I read the description and I congratulate you on getting a melody out that you have wanted to for a very long time! I think the result is very unique and interesting :)

I don't think I have heard a song like this before, or at least for a while, where the first half is almost ambient like and very light energy, and the second half is ballistic. It is very unusual, but also really helps set the one of a kind feeling the song gives off. As for the atmosphere, it's definitely spring like, or personally to me it sounds a lot like the beginning of something new and beautiful. Kind of like having that initial bud of something new for it to bloom into something crazy and beautiful. The percussion work on the latter half was insane haha. Great work, keep it coming!

[Siesta]

Calm and sleepy, I like it :)

The instruments you used were really magical and helped create a peaceful and happy mood. The pads also sound sleepy, as if they are about to carry me away back to bed haha. The bass was a very nice addition, but wasn't harsh enough to throw off the atmosphere of the song. The progression was also familiar and slow, to help introduce a feeling of familiarity and further tranquility. Great stuff, keep it up!

i'm gIad it worked as intended 4 you! thank you so much 4 your feedback!

[funky jazzy idk its nice]

This is such an awesome loop, I wish it was a full song! It's definitely both funky and jazzy, but I do agree in categorizing it as house due to the beat and energy in general. I like how in the second half there are some extra pads to broaden things up and vary it a little. The guitar is also arguably one of the best parts about this loop, and the percussion just fits so nice! Awesome work, keep it up :D

[Underwater]

Класс :D
Этот трек получился очень волшебным и успокоительным. По моему это отлично подходить в игру в какой то подводный уровень там где ты управляешь подводной лодкой. Так держать!

[hyperspeed circuit]

This definitely feels like music that would play in a racing game! It has the right energy, the super saw/brass stabs, and the perfect pacing. The melody is also fun and reminds me of Nintendo games but no game in specific. Just feels happy and exciting, like you want to get to playing a racing game right now, so I can definitely say the song inspires as well! Keep up the great work :D

[So Many Ways]

Feels like something that would play while you watch a lake right after sunset and the sky slowly turns dark :)

The buildup is very gradual, which is fitting for ambient. The instruments help construct this deeper and deeper submersion as well, while everything around swells with beauty. It tugs at the heart strings and makes me feel nice. Great work, keep it coming!

Skullbeatz responds:

Really appreciate the kind words. thank you for listening :)
