HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ハード勝利 (Hard Won Victory)]

The beat, bass and flutes would make an awesome C&C tune. The bwaoooy pad thing isn't a bad touch tho i wonder if it's mixed too loud...dunno.

[Between Worlds (2020)]

Nice introspective vibe going on here. Very chill...Lot's of applications for 'Between Worlds'. Though I must confess, with a title like that, I was expecting a Quake-like theme a la Trent Reznor. Lmao. But instead, I got more of a Square/Enix vibe. I prefer the latter...no offense to Trent or anything. :P

[Soapstone Palace #SNESMusicContest]

I'm a huge fan of dark dismal shit. And 'Soapstone Palace' is not an exception here. This is like a mix mash of Enix games and Blood (PC). Reminds me of Soulblazer, particularly. Beautiful and haunting! OH shit...Phrenemophiba is right, this is totally a Breath of Fire vibe. Lmao. BTW, are those string samples from Castlevania 4? :3

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you so much. I believe the samples are the same ones the Castlevania IV developers used. The original file of this song could run on an actual Super Nintendo cartridge if I had the know-how.

Also, liked Soulblazer! It's been a long time, but I remember it being pretty good. I'm a big Enix fan :D

[Power Man 2 - Final Battle Redux | 2011-2020]

Awesome tune man. Maybe you should archive those games on Newgrounds?

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you! That's probably a good idea. I'd be very sad if the game was lost.

[Lovebug Virus (2012-2020)]

Cool tune. Nice drum-work and the outtro is cool. I'm sure your cousin would be proud of your work Bertn. I prefer dollars over nickels though. Less clutter that way. :P

[Get a Squirrel (2020)]

Sounds like the theme to a kid's puppet show. Nice and cheerful.

[Expanse]

Nice positive vibe...very sci fi-like.

Desmae responds:

Thank you very much :)

[Mother Nature]

Wow, real creative work on the percussion there. Melodies are cool, nice sort of Arabic vibe to em. Mysterious.

['92]

Getting some Sonic CD memories here. Good times. Nice mixups to keep it fresh.

[Hello]

Huh, it does have a sort of Gorillaz vibe. Reminds me RealMrSnuggles stuff too lmao. Good work man. Weird, but good.
