JauqGames's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skyrise]

I really like this. It's hauntingly beautiful.

astropulse responds:

Thanks! It's my first real work with the Digitone + Dexed -- love FM synthesis, and it's all over this track. :)

[Forest]

Lovely 😊.
Where can I find this EP?

[LATKA (WIP) OST- Meurin (Area)]

Lovely chiptune piece for background music!

Also FYI, at the time I'm making this review, those links in the author comments section have a "youtube redirect" attached to them. I'm assuming you made the links on youtube first then copy-pasted them. It didn't prevent me from going through the links, but it is a bit odd. (Try clicking them yourself to see what happens). This isn't affecting my rating in anyway, I just want to help out a bit hopefully.

Edit: The links are fixed, glad I was able to help :)

dimwiddy responds:

I'll fix it right now! Thanks!

[Level Nine]

Keep 'em going Striden.

[Open World]

Nice slides and pauses. Pretty Cool.

[Hunter - Labyrinth]

Could loop better. Overall surprised me.
Keep it up!

Lunziestella responds:

it loops perfectly fine I didn't crop the rest or upload the looped version but thanks!

[Another World]

I need to check Newgrounds more often!

[T.E.O.M. - Newgrounds Anthem (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Fantastic. These hip hop style drums and synths go together amazingly in a way I've never quite heard before, and the track mastering is absolutely fantastic.

I love when there are multiple melodies playing over each other (I wish I knew the exact terminology for this). It gives me an excuse to listen to the song multiple times and not get bored of it. Altogether this sounds epic.

With that being said, there are some sections of the song that appear to lack melodies (1:47-1:53 and 2:11-2:37). Something that doesn't appeal to me very much. If they had some subtle bass melodies perhaps they would've attracted my attention just a bit more.

Lastly, this is more of nitpick than anything, the voice clip saying "Let's Rock!" doesn't seem to fit the song too well in my ears. Perhaps if it said something more related to it's own genre. Alternatively it could have been a voice clip of one of Newgrounds many famous characters like Pico or a Tankman it would've worked really well with it being the Newgrounds Anthem and all.

That's all, I excitingly await the drop of this album.

Thanks and God bless you in your future endeavors,
JauqAr

[T.E.O.M. - Grustler (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

The melodies and drums harmonize well and are pleasing to listen to. The bass melodies work well, and the track has nice use of stereo speakers/channels. Overall I like it.

The track suffers from some basic repetition, either that or variation is a bit difficult to notice. The various parts could be too similar.

The "TheEyeOfMusiK" audio watermark perturbed me momentarily. Probably due to the fact that it was unexpected, or uncalled for, in a track such as this one. I understand your wish to keep the track safe from copyright infringement, though a different method could've been instilled. Perhaps through the use of lyrics or a single short phrase towards the beginning.

Lastly the end of the song seems to cut out not sure if that was intentional, but I do like it when a non-looping track fades out to complete silence before it ends.

Keep composing, if you claim that this isn't the best track you have in this album then I am candidly curious about what else you have to offer.

Thanks,
JauqAr
