Cuuuute. Love the charming art style and the fluidness of the animation. It has a certain friendly awkward vibe to it and it is lovely to experience.

I love all the subtle changes in their facial expressions, it is very little but it does so much to give a certain liveliness to an otherwise static animation. My favourite of those subtle changes is definitely gotta be the red pupil glow during the lazer bit, the satisfied look on her face after hearing the answer is quite iconic too though, also kind of hilariously indifferent.
It's not much but it does what it does, whatever that is. The moderately trippy dialogue here will totally get stuck in my head for a while.
Thank you! I couldnt agree more with how its very still and static, i planned a more few poses and inbetween frames but i was impaitent and just wanted to get it done, I glad you enjoyed my short regardless!
Can't say much about this because it isn't much in terms of anything related to the movie portal i.e. animation. Simple loops like these are a much better fit for the art portal as a GIF upload.
These melodies are so pretty they in fact melted my brain.
The tone of the composition here to me is sorta reminiscent of Heal from the Ico soundtrack; it feels like an intense glimmer of hope and it is a significant touch to the heart the whole way through. It is pleasing to listen to and the soundscape it paints is permeated in a sort of invigorating happiness that I find hard to explain.
One nitpick I guess I have is that it could use some more dynamic variation to ease in & out of some sections, although it doesn't affect the experience that much as it is quite a short track. One could say that the main motif is a bit pervasively static throughout the entire thing but I personally don't mind it so much as the instrumentation surrounding it does provide enough variation to keep the track from feeling entirely stagnant at any moment.
If this were to be extended I could easily imagine a second half where the mood of the composition is turned on its head while the track disintegrates into a reverb wall towards the end. It is totally fine as it is now & and I feel that any minor alteration could easily destroy the delicate emotion it portrays so actually please forget I wrote this paragraph.
Also, is that Gross Beat on the breaks in the second half? I think I recognize those sequences, usually that would be somewhat of a turn off but here it doesn't sound lazily executed so it doesn't bother me as much as it would otherwise.
All in all, this is lovely and beautiful and definitely going into the dedicated NG folder in my local music library. <3
Gross beat is my daddy. I want to make my own library of patterns but since I've been doing these daily, it's all about being economical with my time.
These have all been very much one idea stretched into 2-3 minutes. Yeah it would be nice to have multiple unique sections in each track, but some days I don't have more than an hour to work on it.
Thanks for the listen and review! Glad you liked it
I like the mix on this it feels real warm on my headphones, crisp production & instrumentation also help in achieving that sensation. The glitch-like volume cuts in the intro almost made me think my wi-fi disconnected for a sec, what I think is a cool effect although it is always slightly confusing on a first listen, but still cool.
It's just a personal nitpick and the kind of thing that easily makes or breaks a track depending on how it's executed, but I do find it to be a little too harmonically invariant for the most of the first half of the thing. Again, it's just a personal nitpick that probably doesn't matter much if at all in a more objective manner. The more drastic switch up in the latter half of the track certainly makes up for that, though.
This is a cool song all around but I personally would pick that extremely crunched vocal section at around 02:44 as my favourite bit of it, as it builds up abrasiveness in an efficient way that doesn't overpower what follows nor reduces its impact. And by the way that last section is also a really nice coda for the whole composition.
It was a nice listen overall, might listen to the full album later if I don't forget. P.S: Oh and I forgot to mention I think the lyricism is cool and adequately catchy here.
all my 5 are belong to this.
Nice breakbeat slicing, love the bassline at the end too. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to break shit up. Lovely.
Nice pixel art. I love the palette used in this, it feels soft to look at.
Also, nice hair!
Thank u!!! The hair looks black kinda cause of the 4-colour palette, but it's actually supposed to be a dark green colour. I plan to get around to an actual reference for her sometime soon
