Reviews for "8-bit Insomnia"

Very nice.

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks!

Only 4 channels...i don't know how you people do it :P
Favorite part around 2:10-2:12 just love how all the sounds mesh together perfectly :D

Wish i could give more criticism, but sadly I don't know to much about working with only 4 channels

Keep it up though!

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks for the review!
I'll keep it up as best I can. :)

Great stuff! I love working within the limits of 4 channels, it gives a great challenge. Also, 1 instrument is also a really hard one to work with, I've done a couple before, but I haven't done it in a while.

The only thing about this song that gets me is that it doesn't have a whole lot of variation. But other than that, it's an awesome piece.

Keep it up! :b

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks! I did draw it out a bit much, I guess that's the problem with only having one idea to work with :P

I really appreciate the reviews!

This song sounds really nice and reminds me of some sewer or dream levels from really old Gameboy games. The song just seems to make you think you are fighting nightmarish creatures in the level as you must beat them to get back to sleep. Very beautifully done song and sounds great.

The synth sounds nice and has a solid up and down motion for it which is very nice. The secondary synth has a feel of an atmosphere coming at you and then just fading away as you keep on going farther and farther into the level. The bass sounds great and I enjoy the solid riff it has going.

Overall, very wonderful song, I like it a lot.

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I like that the title suits it perfectly, the tenuto effect is relatable to the feeling one gets when tired; the pulsing sort of drowsiness, about to fall over, tired, but can't sleep..... I also kind of like 8bit themes in general. I thought it was a bit repetitive at times, but it was still very entertaining. At the very least, it's excellent background music.

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks for reviewing! I'm excited that I managed to provoke the idea of insomnia, since that's what I was going through when I was working on this.

Cheers!
