Well, if this isn't a boss battle theme, then I don't know what is. It sounds as if it was going to appear in the same game as that Unnamed Title Track you released on Newgrounds earlier this year. Can't really say much except it's really good.
Reviews for "B7 - Boss Battle"
Burn7 responds:
Hah, perceptive :P
They both were written for the same project, yes. But I'd rather have some folks on Newgrounds enjoy them than let them sit on my desktop gathering virtual dust.
Wish i could give a full on 5 stars, its a great song, but it feels a bit jumbled as to say.
The fast feel, it feels almost wrong for a song that goes pretty low. It is great, just, play with bass a bit, and there you have perfect song.
This song depicts a smaller boss, but armed with powerful weapons, lower armor status. Rather than being a boss, i get the feel of more a trial, like the jumping puzzle in bungie's Destiny, something fast, dodging powerful blasts, staying, until at the end, you see what truly lies below, the dark, evil within. Great song, keep it up.
Burn7 responds:
Thanks so much for the review, I'm glad to get some honest critiquing of what I wrote.
I agree with you that the song feels too fast and sped up. It's partially meant to feel this way to give a sense of urgency to the matter at hand since the song should be in the background. But mostly it sounds rushed because I wrote out the entire piece, then cranked it up by about 35 dbs because I thought it sounded more urgent and like a boss battle. But, as a side effect, it still sounds very rushed. It's like when in an orchestra, the players begin to play faster than the conductor is conducting, and he has to try and keep up with them while trying to still maintain control.
It absolutely was written as "miniboss" as the original name and as I wrote it I just had "level 1 boss" in mind (which actually was probably going to be a lower-tier bullet hell introduction), so I have to say you nailed that spot on :P
But thanks for spending the time to check me out!
