HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Engineering dream]

The intro is a bit meandery, I'd cut it out if you were gonna use this for something else beyond a cool track to listen to. But the rest is pretty solid. The blues-y moog-y feel and synthwave kinda vibe works well. 2:14, the piano is much better utilized, but I think it oughta be a brighter sample with much more emphasis on the highs. Beyond that, I can't give more meaningful feedback. Nice work!

[MrSnuggles - 漂移]

That fuzzy synth rhythm is cool. The piano work is awesome. Not quite a fan of the kick, but I think I get the context. The 'oomph' and push is really good.

[Starfish Paradise]

Reminds me of some Mario Sunshine/Mario Galaxy vibes. That synth is really cool. The guitar synth is awesome. Piano is neat. Nice riser/downers.

[Here comes the snow]

Pretty damn good sound there. The retro synth-snow-wave works well. Pretty cool that you were inspired by an image to create something. The detuned vibe at the start really grew on me. Then 0:45 blew me away and it just gets better. Kinda reminds me of some 80's movies and some rpgs of the early 2000's - the good way. "Here Comes the Snow" feels like, there is some hope on the horizon during the dreary cold months; the sunlight is out and people are making the best with what they got in the cold months. Not very elegant summary, but that's my take on it.

[Hey, I'm serious!]

And another random track that I'm glad I picked. Lmao. You're getting better and better. Seems like the 'Rona has made you stronger. Reminds me of Phantasy Star and Parasite Eve.

[Wash your hands]

Gotta admit, you post a lot of stuff, so I skipped down to here. And boy am I glad that I did. This is sick lmao. Perfect quarantine music. Please feel free to spam me other tracks you'd like me to review/comment!

[MrSnuggles has feelings too]

Thusly, a new genre has been crafted. I call it...Front-Paged Cabin Fever Elevator Music. CCP Virus style; get your groove on soldier!!!! This reminds me of Cave Story mashed with Shin Megami Tensei. The Mix is PERFECT. You nailed it Bimmy!

Once...when I was a little girl in France...Wait. Wrong song.

[Only pain is real]

Is that some pitch bending on the bass I'm hearing? Or am I on crack? Either way, it has good portamento. Dat grooooooooove. I could definitely rock this in my car like a total nerd wanker. It's criminally short though. Please add another minute :3 mew hew

[System overload]

I dub this style of Metal, PINGAS metal. Heheheheeheh I know that saxophone sample. Nice saxiness. Wow real awesome work with the piano and 303-ish synth. Reminds me of some Konami and Capcom titles during the PS2 era. Epic!! It's like if you mashed Castlevania with DMC and Contra lol.

[Lunar Vessel]

Ever evolving I see. Wow! Congrats on the front-pageruuuu de sei. Mixwork is decent enough. The retro instruments work perfect for the theme. That bass is sick. Though if it's for a game, you might want to consider lowering it and reducing the 125 hz area so it doesn't hog all the space. Super sexy otherwise. And yea, I hear some Metroid vibes too!
