I kinda get the same kick from this game that I had when I played the SNES and N64 mario games. Brilliant. Nothing more to add than that.
Only thing that disturbed the gaming experience was some short bits of loud white noise which appeared along with random sound effects. You probably know that already, if you don't, I'm running the game on Safari 3.1.2

That was fun, I'm very impressed by the characters and villains- very very well made. Much better than most games I've seen on the internet. The difficulty levels are on the spot, easy is challenging, but most people will probably get through it on their first try, normal and hard requires more strategy, and though I haven't played the Epic difficulty I guess the player will need a thorough walkthrough or something, which is just how a very hard/epic/impossible setting should be.
My only problem with personally it is that it's pretty slow, and with the continuous stream of enemies, the gameplay becomes repetitive and boring after a while.
anyway cool

Way to go folks. As promised, you flashy people have as much butt-liquid as you'd like from me!
Seriously, I never thought you'd actually finish that. Well done.

I must say you sure know how to do your mixes, it's got a nice, clear and open sound that I really enjoy. Thankfully I can adjust the angle of my chair, it came in very handy, because it feels juuuust right to lie down a bit while listening to this one ;) It's a very relaxing theme. Still I think the composition is a bit lacking. The ideas in the song are very nice, but it takes a long time before it gets anywhere and the track is quite repetitive with few contrasting elements, I kinda feel you should do something more with it.

Full of energy and punch right from the bat, the piece has a very nice and clear hi-fi sound that creates instant high expectations. The bass is relatively mellow, but that only creates more tension during the more mellow parts (with the filtered drums and all). The various tracks are nice and fat when that is required, but they never take too much space in the mix. The drums sound great (though there's a bit of an unpleasant hi-mid boost on the snare) Love the drum programming too, very nice fills. Plus, you elegantly and seemingly effortlessly transition from the typical breakbeat to those nice half-time, almost dubstep-like beats at 2:33, and back again.
The mix isn't really lacking in the bass area, however I think the treble is a bit extreme, I can't listen to this loudly because the treble is almost painful. That's the only catch really, it's a pretty sick tune overall.

The background is very nice, lovely chords and, as far as I know, great sounds, but it's overshadowed by the rather cheap sounding lead synth. Put a lowpass filter on it or something, it think this piece would sound much better (and more flash friendly!) if the lead synth wasn't as prominent. Not much more to say about this loop, please take my suggestion into consideration though.

Lol, you are perfectly correct, I worked hard on getting a nice chord progression, with those pesky 9ths and the flat 5. Yeah the lead definitely does not go with jazz, I was kinda just looking for something really annoying. Perhaps I could replace it with a jazz guitar, or sax, or some other instrument commonly used in jazz lead. I suppose I will just make an entire other song, better than this one. Perhaps I could turn the lead around and still have that sorta electronica effect with the jazz. Thanks for the review and I will definately take your suggestions into consideration :D
