Charem's Reviews

[Metal Gear Funnies]

Alright, how about this?

A more passive review, since my last was deleted. I did not appreciate the humor, and the homosexual references were offensive to me, as I am homosexual. Thank you very much.

[Metroid Legends SP Ep. 1]

Nice...you used my music. =P

Thanks for that. ^^ Wish you would've told me ya used it though! (I like to check out any submission that uses my music.)

darkusPrince responds:

ok, i'll remember that, thanks for the review

[Jenna's birthday]

Heheh.

Entertaining little Flash there. Thanks for using my music. ;3

Shadowii2 responds:

Haha, yeah, thanks and you are welcome.
I love that song.

[Crossblock]

Excellent, simple gameplay. :3

The backgrounds were quite pleasing (pixels = <3 ), the music was catchy even after hearing it a million times over...and of course, the gameplay! Cute idea for a game, and deceptively more difficult than it first appears to be...

Some people argue this game's easy, but...I guess it kinda depends on how your brain is wired. XD (I'm not a huge puzzle fanatic, nor does my brain really 'think ahead' very far, like this game requires.)

5/5 and 9/10!

[Planet Platformer 2]

I really do like this.

But yeah, way too hardcore. I nearly beat the game on my second shot, in fact...but Planet 7, the last planet, is SUCH a kick in the face. I wasn't expecting a simple sphere full of Sawblades of Doom. Would've been nice if you had started the player off on a safe platform, instead of just throwing him into the carnage.

[Straw Hat Samurai]

Pretty fun.

On the final battle (against the dude who is bigger and doesn't go down in one hit), my samurai froze while doing a move though. Just started running in place and was stuck...the enemy couldn't hurt him either.

But then I figured out that by selecting Play, it basically re-wound to before I entered the battle, so I could do it again. Bizarre. XD

[Orbital Reflex (Sonic Advance)]

Why's the rating so low on this? o3o

I was searching for "Egg Rocket", as I was looking for a cool remix of this tune...and your son appeared at the bottom of the list with a 1.99. I admit I wouldn't normally have clicked onto this tune, except I didn't really like ALL of the other songs (from a list of like 20) that came up.

And lo and behold, your tune is the superior one by far. Now I will say it's a little generic (and very quiet, for some reason, on my headphones), which is why I give the 8/10...but if you remastered this? =) Oh-ho! You could get a 10 from me if you just polished a few things (you made some mistakes with the notes) and added a little more variety to the tune. And volume, more volume. x3

I do like it though. Smooth, nice piano, good rock. So, 8/10 and 5/5 for you, good sir. =)

(And hopefully the fact I bumped your rating here from 1.99 to 2.78 will convince at least a few more people to give this song a try!)

[8-bit Boss Battle 2]

Not too bad, but not exactly authentic.

Overall it sounds pretty good, though maybe a little too busy. But one thing people forget when trying to go for 8-bit remixes is the number of channels normally available for 8-bit.

The NES allowed for 5 sound channels, for instance, while the Gameboy (also 8-bit) allowed for 4.

This sounds like a lot more than 5, so...yeah. Authenticity is hard sometimes, but I might recommend you give it a shot.

EliteFerrex responds:

I definitely know the ins and outs of the chiptune limit, a.k.a. the "golden rule" of 8-bit music, but I purposely choose to break it in my songs, because I feel it more entertaining to let 8-bit music be freed from its normal constraints. To me, it seems like it can expand and become something more beautiful.

[MMZX - Trap Factory]

*plays air guitar!*

Voted 5/5 10/10, because this song totally deserves it, and also because I freaking HATE people that vote 0 on things. >:P I shall avenge you!

Speaking of the song, I absolutely ADORE the part that comes in at 0:44. <3 That guitar was awesome. This tune really got me pumped!
