DuttonsaysHi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Sky Fortress-]

Ah so glad you finally decided to finish this! :D The chip/arcade effects you used in this are so perfect! I love the glitch and chiptune elements blasting along side the rock and the orchestral backing just gives it so much power and grandness, it's just too much awesome in one song :D I also really like the breaks in this, especially at around 3:10 when the new section comes in. Definitely one of my favourites from you recently :D well done!

Waterflame responds:

Thank you :D !! That means a lot! Glad you liked it :D

[The Power Unfolds]

wow! nice work man! I really love how stylized your chiptune is :D has that classic nostalgia essence with beefy modernised production quality. The song is bad ass also, especially the work with the little breaks and stumbling drum rolls, so many precise elements that bring this track together :D Keep it up!

basheman responds:

Ah thanks man for a great review! :D
I shall definetely try to keep it up! ;)

[-The grand sea remix-]

Terrific work man! I love your trance variation of the melody! that alone makes it it's own track in a way :D The synths make the whole thing sound adorable, super bubbly and cute ^^ Again, nice work you totally did the original justice and made it completely your own!

Waterflame responds:

Thanks man :D ! it was a blast to make, love that melody still :D

[last stand]

Dude this is sooo super epic! The composition is brilliant and the mixing is spot on. I can't give much constructive criticism since your rock tracks out-ranks mine by far. However, I will suggest that you should try another attempt in the same style but with a grand orchestral backing instead. When composed like this it could turn out to be something huge and spectacular! It's definitely something I'd be interested in seeing :D.

If I had to be picky, I'd say the 8-bit lead towards the end needs boosting a little bit. At that point it becomes the main focus but is drowned out by the rhythm guitar and it doesn't get to see much light. That's all really... Super great work man, scouted and followed. I look forward to your future projects.

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks for the kind words, its much appreciated! i agree with you on the 8-bit section it definitely needs a volume boost. At the moment all my mixing is done on a pair of headfones :/ so i dont always hear these things until i play them on another device.
I liked the idea about implementing an orchestra into my songs, i think it would be something i would like to experiment with in future tracks.

[-Slapstick-]

Definitely your best track this year man! it's so spot on I can't stand it! You absolutely nailed that hideki naganuma style funk :D I'd be suprised if this doesn't end up in a future jetset radio title :D amazing work!

Waterflame responds:

thanks man :D <3 !! that would be super mega awesome. :o

[-Super Battletrain-]

This is so bad ass! such a true style to class sega! :D I could totally battle on a high speed train ride to this :D and I love the lil bass moment at the end :P terrific work!

Waterflame responds:

Thank you man :D haha! awesome

[-Jumper 2013-]

Great work man! it's a pretty creative mix of orchestral, chiptune & rock! as well as being your old classic :P this is practically the waterflame theme song :D well done!

Waterflame responds:

Thank you man :D ! haha i know right
