HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gradius 3 - Invitation (Remake)]

The guitar rhythm riffs remind me of Mega Man X3. This is killer! I suck at Gradius games tho T_T

[Meet Your End]

Wicked good articulation, dynamics and production quality. Reminds me VERY much of the stuff that Bioware used to put out. My nipples are tingling with epicness.

AceMantra responds:

Thanks! I'm happy to hear from you!
Funny, I actually visited BioWare a couple of times. Fun place.

[The Good Withering Away]

Dynamic increase for throbbing, increasing pain...where?? Oh well. Nice tune. Erm, I think the kick drum is too muffled too. Otherwise, Neat-o.

Tangerine responds:

If you read the description I say that the true pain only comes after the first few seconds. I never stated that the pain got worse as time went on. Also, the drums would be too distracting if they stood out more. When drums are too loud they become distracting. The reason why they are muffled is that there are a lot of instruments being used. Otherwise thanks for the comment :)

[STORMCALLER - Jessie Yun X Thunder Cat]

So much win. Yarrr.

JessieYun responds:

YARRR! :))

[Question Assurance]

What if I don't want to? Mew hew T_T

[[Cylriel, Ponycutz - HIGH GRAIN CEREAL \ featuring sci]]

After listening to ear rape, this is a paradise meadow of awesomeness...reminds me of Katamari Damacy fused with...Skrillex? Oh well...this is dope.

CylrielOfficial responds:

lol thanks :D

[Get That Thing]

So all the elements are there more or less, but you gotta reduce the ceiling and reduce the clipping. It's part of the rules of NG portal to not create ear or headphone damaging stuff.

[Stabbed]

1:08 wow that lead synth magic!! Have you been crafting original sounds? This is dope!! Again, I'm hearing an Earthbound vibe. Nice gated choirs...the somba-like HH pattern is hypnotizing, along with that awooo synth in the background. Kinda unsettling yet relaxing at the same time. The bass pattern is brilliant too.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

Thanks yo, I mostly use stock sounds, but add a bunch of cool fx to spice them up. Plus I have a nice feel for what goes well together. The synth at 1:08 is the FB3100, its pretty neat for synthwave!

[Drowsy Btz]

I really appreciate that you didn't hammer the notes like a lot of piano pieces on NG. Decently humanized and good leitmotifs...this is like Study Music!! Maybe add some Low-Fi filters. Hahaha.
