octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Azuress]

Very powerful and exciting song! I love how fast everything feels and how chaotic it is. Feels like a very climactic boss fight in a game. The instruments you chose are pretty cool and impactful. And the pitch change at the end is my favorite part! Keep up the great work :)

Lnttt responds:

thank you! i'm trying to diversify my songs and make them more unique, so they don't all sound the exact same. this is probably the most unique song i've made by far though

[The Heavens | Quantron's Game Soundtrack]

This definitely has a heavenly feeling towards it, kind of mysterious and humbling. I like the vibrato you added to the main instrument, and I also think every instrument fit very well into the chiptune style. Great work, keep it up :D

ImmanentDeath responds:

Thank you, I also like it when the beep boop gets wiggly

[I’m fresh out of ideas]

These are all pretty nice ideas lol, a lot of them also remind me of mid 2000s nokia ringtones fsr. Honestly I think all of them are worthy of being finished, but my favorite is either 2 or 3. Hard choice when all of them sound very good! Anyways keep it up, excited to see what you end up making :)

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you, we’ll see which one ends up getting finished!

[Wrought In Sanctum (Remixed & Remasterd)]

Very dramatic and powerful, this is awesome! I dunno what you mean about the guitars because I love them haha. The percussion is perfect, and so is the mixing; the drums really pop. I also love the change of mood in the middle briefly, but in general this whole song just has a happy hopeful feel. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Buzumba responds:

Glad you enjoy it! I definitely think I could go back and make some things (Guitar re-recording, Low end clarity, and maybe compressing the drums a little more) better, but that might just be me being overcritical of something because I created it. Anyways... I really appreciate it dude! :3

[Highway Hustler]

Ooh definitely has a funky chase vibe, I love it! Would probably even fit in some 80s/90s movie scene lol. I love the instruments you used, and the organs sound so powerful and sick when they kick in. Somehow also sounds a little like sonic music too lol, maybe it's FM instruments or something. The progression is also amazing, it constantly evolves and spices itself up. Keep up the amazing work once again!!

SnekkMusic responds:

Thanks for the kind words! For the chorus bit (after the organs), I was definitely inspired by Sonic, using a lot of Korg instrumentation there.

[KEY GENERATOR]

Let's go keygen music!!! I love the keygen style a bunch :D
This does sound like something that would come with some kind of keygen, just slightly longer. I'm honestly impressed you managed to utilize that one Nexus chiptune DL because I always found it bleh, but in here it actually sounds pretty good! The slow introduction of more instruments was very nicely executed. Great work, keep it up!

Ximular responds:

Thanks for review!

[dont talk to me]

Starts off nice and fancy, and gets a nice actiony kick shortly after, smooth :D
Feels like something that would play on a calm street in a city at night. Or something that would play in a beach town. The addition of guitars towards the end was really nice. Great stuff, keep it coming!

gunzmusic responds:

ty for the review! <3

[555]

What a strange song, and what a strange thing to remix lol. Yet this ended up being so groovy! I like how you took something so random and managed to make it sound like well.. this! A great melody, great harmony, and even managed to squeeze in an odd time signature beat. I love when people get creative, and this is definitely one of the best sampling examples I've heard so far. Amazing work, keep it up!

glotch responds:

thank you so much!! i am now feeling very validated in my sample game lol, i wasn't totally convinced it would be a good fit but once i committed to the bit i had to complete it

[Camaraderie at Panquechairo's lenght]

What a nice song :)
It sounds like saloon piano, with a beautiful melody and just a relaxing night mood. Kind of like a comfy atmosphere after a long day and finally getting some rest. I can't really place what it is, but the emotion in this song is just great, and I think it's perfectly portrayed by the melody. Maybe it's also some kind of nostalgia? I dunno, but I love it, and I think you did an amazing job. Keep it up!!

PlushieMusic responds:

Thank you!

[Arthur, come on!]

Sounds pretty powerful and adventurous, I love it! Kind of like a cool journey where all the protagonists are in heavy armor or something. I love the progression, and that while it has such great energy, it still sounds somehow relaxing. The Russian dialogue threw me off though and made me chuckle lol. Great song though, keep it up!

Thanks 🤩
