Holy Shit?

The animation was pretty much... professional quality, like you'd see in a real movie. Do you actually have Leslie Nielsen VAing for you? Because I seem to believe you do.

Kind of a rare sight on Newgrounds, really.

Good style, strange story.

I liked the style of animation, the strange character design, and the wonderful setting, it's very unique for a place like Newgrounds.

I didn't understand the logic behind the story though. It led up to strangeness, but it didn't make sense. Originally I thought he was going to wake up to some prehistoric world, but the world outside the lighthouse remained intact.

Probably the most well mixed and mastered entry we have here. No clipping and just the right amount of loudness was sacrificed for atmosphere.

I'd say this is probably the highest contender for the winner I've seen so far. Certainly fits the description.

It's good, but more thought needs to go into the panning. Most of this is pretty much mono - try alternating between stereo separation and non-separated synths.

Maybe add a little on the high-mid to high end too. The bass is just a little too overpowering, even for E-H.

Try adding in another section, too. Most of this is the drop, which sort of detracts from the effect of the whole thing.

Well, I have to admit I had my doubts because I vaguely remember you getting caught self-advertising in the audio forum. But none of that matters right now.

I'm going to go ahead and say you might really be onto something here. While Vortek said that the tempo of the song is awkward, I think it's the exact opposite. It's dubstep, but because of the tonality and entirely different tempo choice it could be an entire branch of its own. It's almost cartoony, though that may be due to the choice of vocal samples, and I really liked the use of tom fills and the set of drums you picked in general. I really think if you make more music in this particular style you could have a genre all your own.

Unless this is influenced by a subgenre that already exists, of course.

Still, it does need work. Some aspects of the mixing seem unnatural - the stereo imaging is strange due to the fact that I'm somehow able to discern mono channels from stereo ones in this case where everything normally blends in a professional mix despite the existence of both stereo and mono elements. I just think the beginning needs an additional stereo channel in the mid or high frequency ranges. There are also some volume balance issues - the sub bass is way too loud whenever the wobble bass isn't there to compensate for it.

There's also a general lack of sounds in the drop riff. You only have one wobble - I would recommend breaking the melody up for more of a fidget house sound, as the simplicity of it tends to be a bit of a bore otherwise.

I liked it.

4/5 and 5/5.
