Funny game, interesting sort of humor.
The thing that impressed me the most was the song during the duels, and I cant find it anywhere on your guys pages or webpage which is sad, that is an awesome song.

Great imitation of fluid physics, kinda killed my computer, but that was one of the most fun games I have ever played.
The best was when I tried Pascal's Law twice, before looking at the name of the level, then i stared at the button for a second and laughed.
Amazing job, you are a genius.

the stats are broken, and the game boring, and dumb.
your method is stupid
your game is stupid
your intelligence is... stupid.
missing of 30% of the time with +60 points on agility is retarted, and it made the game boring.
all the game was was missing, hitting 1/15 times, despite the % stat stated, and then the bot healing afterward

It is too good for me to really point out any flaws. If I were too try and critisize you, I would say that the first part went all over the place a little too frequently, it didnt have time to hold its theme before it jumped everywhere. But as a soundtrack to something this could work depending on the situation obviously.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and are drums really the instrument you think you should be playing? You may wanna learn something that can play notes, just to use your full potential.

I'm gonna be kinda harsh here even though i gave you a 9, because know you want a review, not a compliment.
First thing is first, the bass instrument. Yes it is a nice bass, and yes it is low, slightly too low in my opinion. It suffers from the Fruity Loop Effect (kinda just made it up right now, but I think I'm gonna try to use it more often) The bass is a little too strong, as in, it is always playing at that amount too strong. Because of this in no longer gives off the punch it intended for because it is always playing. If you were to tone it down a bit and perhaps be that loud for certain notes and parts, the other instruments could be louder and the song could be more full. this also occurs with the kick, it is too loud too often, maybe make every 4th kick (well, the initial of the 4) harder than the other 3, because i have found that a lot of professional mixes actually have very quiet kicks compared to what I would make them. to move back a bit, the fruity loop effect is merely having an instrument way to loud in the lows, and EQing out the highs too much.
The next main topic is the clap. its gross. layer claps, pick 2 claps that fit toether and sound right, as well as a snappy snare, and play them all together, compress and EQ to your liking, and probably actually reverb it and lower the volume, so i may take back the mention of compressing in that case.
the low bass should have a synth compliment with it while other instruments arent playing.
also, when you have the buzzy synth come in, i would have it play the same notes as the violin for about 2 bars before that, and just have it fade in, cause it comes out of nowhere, but once you are used to it, it is really awesome.
My favourite instruments are the saw and the violin through, and they fit really well together too, sometimes the piano reverb is too much wile these play, and you may want to sidechain the reverb out from one of the two instruments, could help the m essyness from all 3 instruments at the same time.
also i love that arp, or an instrument pretending to be an arp, whatever it is, don't change it.
in quieter part the violin may need a bit of EQ'd reverb that makes it fit the synth a bit more at 2:52.
all in all, this song is pretty awesome, i love what you have done, but you really need to proffessionalise that bass you have, it is killin it

First off, thank you for taking such time to write this review. It is pretty amazing!
All your points have merit, but I will say one thing. I love the claps. :-P (But I do understand where you are coming from.)
All your points have been duly noted, and we will definitely keep this info handy when we tackle our next song.
Once again, thanks for this amazing review! It is GREATLY appreciated!

WALK SMASH WALK
i like it, obviously its not gonna be as good as the original, but i guess using other tunes for ideas is a good start i started with mario, as well as a lot of copies of the amen break)
alright, first off, i gotta say, this reminds me alot of then i was newer to making music, and as well as others.
the first thing i needed to realize what to do to get better, was that bass isnt everything, and , in fact, as much as i love to add a deep kick with a bass and play them low, its not that good to do, so.
for your kick, dont have it all bass, and dont make them overlap. I know you are using fruity loops, so i can say, go into your kick properties, and go to INS, and control the volume time stretching, set it so that it just looks like a rectangle, and then sequence your kicks in the piano roll, that way, you wont have two kicks overlap. I also suggest layering your kicks, aka use your current kick ,but also use, well, my favourite is under Realdrumkits, RD_Kick_2, it layers quite well with any of the dance kicks to give a good overall feel.
next up, the string sample you are using, yes i love to use it too, but you gotta layer it, as in run it alongside another string sample, just play em together and it kinda hides it, you can also put them into their own channel, and add some heavy chorus to blend them, but i dunno if you are at that point, i do hear reverb, but i not sure if that is an instrument preset or not.
i guess thats enough for now, please keep in mind, you want more treble, use some sytrus instruments, they are godly, i suggest looking lower in the list, there is a group of presets with some good saws and other sounds, aside from that, the string part under sytrus is good too
