OliRO's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Skies // Destroyer Encounter]

Super happy song! Gives me solid MDK vibes!
I can see a space ship ballin' in space up and down as it catches stars and avoid rainbow balls, all this while the backgrounds zoom in and out with a full kaleidoscope of colors. Akin to the older days of flash games.

I love it! :D

RedSkiesOfficial responds:

Thank you so much! That was actually the theme I was going for!

[Prototype X9]

Totally a boss battle! and a tough one!

[Holding on dearly]

I see a distant cousin to the game Flashback when I close my eyes. Where cyborgs and other remnants of a hi-tech civilization long after their apex roams the globe, still trying to cling to their past greatness. The player is from a ''lower'' race of human, enslaved by the cyborgs. They try to get out of this wretched planet and reach for the stars, where survival is surprisingly more successful.

Edit: typo at planet

I love it! :)

Cebster responds:

Wow honestly thank you. I really appreciate your interpretation. Now I’m wishing I left you something so in depth. I followed you and look forward more of your work in the future! Thank you.

[Disposed Minds]

That reminds me of Teenage Zombies : Invasion of the alien brain thingys.
Well made!

[Further Suns Inc. [VGM]]

As an 8-bit challenger myself, I'm telling you that your song definitely fits the profile. I makes me feel like I'm exploring the calm void of space in a spaceship looking for resources. The loop is well made, it transition smoothly.

I'm trying to find a constructive comment but I find it hard to, I wouldn't change much to it, it already sounds very good. If I really had to change something, I'd play with the reverb of some tracks, maybe the bass, to let the reverb of the melody shine more.

Well done! :)

[longing (or, wedding song to a broken soul)]

I can feel a deep and truthful sense of connection emanating from the piece. Like this is the story of two lovers that have been living hardships for a long time. Their situation evolved thru time and the physical connection got challenged more than once. But in the end, the thrived, and regardless of what life will throw at them they will never ever loose the love they feel for each other. It's inspiring and beautiful.

I love the piano! I'm impressed at your skills to mix all the instrument together to make it so fluent. The only constructive comment I could find is that the beginning take a bit to start, it adds to the feeling of longing, which kinda made me long for the big stereo bars I was seeing coming in the frequency.

Very well made! : )

Troisnyx responds:

Were this playing in an actual scene with a credits roll, you would not be longing for those bars. You wouldn't know the big bars existed, not yet.

I am considering the possibility of a radio edit, but until then, actually savour the music. If it feels unbearable to wait, fair. But it will come.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, by the way. ☺️ There's kind of you. Thank you so much.

[Dimensional Escape]

I really like the song that starts at 2:27 is really nice! It feel spacey and crystal. I have the Megaman X2 ice cave popping in my head when I hear the part at 3:32. I kinda skipped the audio in the beginning tho, I wanted to hear the song, and I was not deceived : )

Good Job!

[Disorder]

I agree with Kassich about the drums. A punchier drum could add even more to the relentless feel, but man you did a good job catching the Lovecraft. I could easily associate this with Darkest Dungeons, especially the color of madness DLC.

Good job, this is well done! : )

[Archway to the Unknown]

That's really immersive! The pace is perfect, the synth melody perfectly catches the mystery of the transition into the unknown, and the bass at 1:25 is thumping the uneasiness into my head. The bass also gives off a sense of epic, like what you're about to witness is far beyond your capacity to understand it.

Well made!

Kassich responds:

Thank you! I think you explained what I was going for in this piece better than I did!

[(OTG) Lonnie Vs. Draco (Final Push Challenge Submission)]

The tension is palpable and the drops makes me feel like the boss might actually be something that's within me and phasing in and out of attack range. The music box sound give me feeling of madness, it fits perfectly in a boss scene.
