Phronemophobia's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Infernal (2018)]

Considering how much personality you like to cram into each of your characters, there would be no way to properly compose a one-size-fits-all theme to share among them. Your creativity is both a blessing and a curse, Bertn.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you very much, my person. That means a substantial amount. To have every boss have a unique theme is a tall order, but it surprisingly is making things easier for me. So far I have three themes finished, but PS1-era RPG's had upwards of fifty bosses. It'd probably take years to do something like that, so I've settled on having 18 unique main bad guys to thwart on your adventure. You know, if the game was real. Someday...

Thanks again!

[endK - Moon Café]

Sounds like you remixed something off of an old Sega racing game, like OutRun, and gave it a cruise control feel. How can I not fall in love with that?

endKmusic responds:

Gotta listen to that soundtrack! :o
Thanks for the kind words Phro! <3
Glad you dig it eventhough it's not fast-paced. ^_^

[Fanfare (2018)]

Feels like I was victorious against the boss of Grass land, but the music I'm hearing for it sounds like it's coming from another room.

Oh look! I received one of Plok's arms. What a silly reward, but I'm sure it will come in handy.
(...at least until I can return it to him.)

Bertn1991 responds:

Grass is such a pushover. People just walk all over it.

I will graciously accept this arm. Two arms are better than one arms. Arms always come in handy, as do gloves and jewel-encrusted magical gauntlets.

I guess I could've turned down the reverb and boosted the treble to combat the other-room-ness. Thank you for listening of course :)

[Heart to Heart (2018)]

And so, Flops finally returned from his long, arduous journey, restoring peace across the land of Chester, and he brought with him all sorts of heroic tales to tell his child from now until... I don't know, like a week? Well, it won't matter, because they'll be such grand stories that everyone will want to hear them again and again and again... for, like, another week... maybe? Least importantly, Flops will finally be able to upload that Sega music tutorial that he promised us a year and a half ago. The End.

Thank you for playing Final Flopstasy.

(This is beautiful, Bertn. Thank you very much for putting a smile on the face of my tired, exhausted soul... and on my actual face, as well.)

Bertn1991 responds:

I'll never forget the tales of his most arduous journey to brave new lands... for one, perhaps two weeks in total.

Smiles on faces does put a smile on my face. Happy this was able to make both your soul and your face smile :)

Also, Final Flopstasy has been going downhill since X.

[Rocket Racer (2018)]

This kinda reminds me of the amazing Battle Theme 1 on the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, but it's also amazing in an entirely different way... in a Bertn, Brenty... Bunny kind of way. I don't know if I can imagine this as a racing tune, however. After all, I'm certainly in no rush to finish listening to it. Perhaps, Remile is right. Maybe this would benefit from being a tad longer. Being short certainly does nothing to diminish the quality of the piece, so here's 11 stars! NG only allows you to view the first five, but, I can assure you, the other six are right beside them.

Bertn1991 responds:

Eleven stars is quite the honor. Smiles for miles ^____^

Chrono Trigger had some very simple, but super effective regular battle music. I think I can hear similarities, maybe in their respective simplicity. There's only four staffs in this song, not counting the drums. Also, yes. I'm one letter shy of being Mr. Bunny.

THANK. YOU. FOR. LISTENING. BEEP [O_O]

[Undersea Observatory (2018)]

Makes me think of the Ocean Palace, except it isn't menacing.

If I'm ever asked to describe what it sounds like to perform oceanography, I now have a proper answer to give.

Thank you, Bertn.

Bertn1991 responds:

No, thank you. And if I ever become an oceanographer, I'm gonna have an MP3 player with 300 tracks. One of them will be this song and the other 299 will be the @JK-FlipFlop Sega Genesis remix. It's my fantasy and I can dream if I want to.

Undersea Palace from Chrono Trigger was the main inspiration :)

[Mega Funk Chip Arena]

As usual, another fantastic track by endK, except it doesn't seem to loop very well, and that's a peeve of mine on the audio portal. Poor loops irritate me, so I hope it'll flow better within the game.

endKmusic responds:

Thanks Phro!
Was actually a perfect loop, but loops dont loop very loopy here.
:<

[endK - Automaton Squad]

It's adventurous, fun, and the added sounds really do work with the looping animation. I can only hope the next time Butzbo plans for a new cartoon series, he'll ask you to help provide music.

I know next to nothing about the technical aspects of a song, but, for what it's worth, I think this sounds amazing. <3

endKmusic responds:

Yay! Glad it worked out.
Surely I'd be up for anything, but most of all I'm grateful for the inspiration that I get from those wacky characters, and that by itself is enough. :)
Thanks Phro! <3

[Rats Flats (2018)]

I love this so much. You don't realize how happy hearing this makes me. It's as if you created a new theme song for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, except that Carmen Sandiego is now a hat-wearing mallard who travels around the globe pilfering all varieties of bread.

Bertn1991 responds:

Whoa, those are some kind words. Thank you, sir. I'm happy to know that this quirky tune was the source of somebody's happiness. That does me a smile :^)

And, uh, I'm not one to preorder games, but I would totally preorder that game!
