Nice one, made me laugh quite a bit ;) Only thing what really needs improvement is the sound. Voice acting could use some work, as well as the quality, but you said you're working on that one. Goed luck with your future projects ;)

Funny, drawings could use some work

This animation is great. I like the"story" a lot. It reminds me of telsell kind of stuff, how everything is so great. Quite a bit of randomness in the animation too, which is great.
The drawings could use some work though. They are not terrible, but it's something you can improve on. Also I don't like "real" pictures in a drawn flash, but that's probably just me.

Overall,
pretty nice and funny.

Nice

Awesome plot. I love the zelda games and you used some cliches to make it very funny. I really like some of the jokes. This animation just has everything. It is funny. The voice-acting is incredible. And the drawings and animation are very good too. I really can't think of something negative.
The mix between voice-acting/background music is well made. I like how the music starts loud and cuts off when someone talks, so you can hear them. Also the background sfx are welldone. Nothing negative here too.

So yeah,
5/5

Meh, not very interesting. Graphics could use a lot of work. I'm guessing you did not embed your font, since it shows up as a standard with me here. This leads to very ugly buttons and the text is not aligned. Try doing this, since a lot of people will have the same problem. Try to hide the cursor, since you made a custom one. This is easily done by one line of code. Also, some smoothing in the code would be appropriate :)
Overall, keep working on it!

[Tiny Planet]

Hmm, not terrible. Gameplay concept is nice. Some minor bugs but nothing terrible there. Graphics could use some improvement and I am really missing the sound on this one. Some extra interesting elements would also be nice, but I think you did not have the time to make that as well. Good job though, within the limited amount of time for the ludum dare ;)

I just miss one thing

Really,
this game is awesome. There's just one little thing missing: a save file. I was stuck, and when I returned to try again, everything was gone :(
I really love the animations in this. Those are great, much better then what i would expect in a game. Also, I love the music. It fits the theme well.

Overall,
just missing the save option

JonBro responds:

I do have an automatic 'save point' but it's near the end of the game because I'm weird.

I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

What more to say?

Really nice track. I really feel the ambient mood. Great relaxing tune, with wonderful sounds and arrangement.
Only thing I might disagree on is the kick. Don't know what it is, but it doesn't sound great. Probably a matter of taste though :)

Overall,
10/10
5/5

nono, you see the kick is the best part

Sounds are not right

The arrangement of the song is pretty nice. I think the piano is a bit loud in the mix and goes on for a little to long to keep interesting, but it's ok. The sounds in the start sound really dull. Cheap and as if they were pulled from the libarary without doing anything to them.

The drums at 1:10 are pretty terrible. They kick in like the drummer forgot to pick up his sticks at the right time, but they correct themselves later (luckily)

The drums and synth at 2:20 sound empty too. Try adding something to that arrangement, since it sounds empty. Since it is already in the middle of the song, it should be more entertaining and not an outro already.

The best advice I could give you is that you should put some more effort in mixing and getting the right sounds. This is what makes this song pretty bad. The strings sound pretty good, but I hate the piano, drums and bass. Some EQ might fix this.

Overall I hear a lot of potential, but skills aren't really there yet. Keep practicing!

Nashton responds:

thank you i really appreciate it.
i had figured that i need to understand up to EQ.
i hear what you mean about drums and the emptiness.
all the melodies in my head and i cant present them well. haha

i will see what i can do with my next song and re do this one and my others once i get a chance

again thanl you.

Nice tune, try improving the breaks and fills

Nice intro, I really like the orchestral stuff. Also when the drums kick in it is pretty nice. Some of the fills I don't like though. They sound a bit out of time. Trying to bring the variation in is good, but these fills just don't sound right.

Then the break again is very nice, gives a nice bit of contrast. You managed to give a nice bit of contrast in this tune, which is good fo dnb. Especially the break at 2:00 give a totally different feel. However, I don't like the break at 3:00. However, I think you overdid it. Because of all these contrasts, there isn't really a large piece that flows a long time, and gives the really dnb feel to it.

Don't get me wrong. It is a really nice tune, although I'm missing a real kick-ass drop.

Overall,
8/10
4/5

I'm still pretty new to this style, so I'm still trying to figure out the possible mistakes I've made.
Thanks for the tips, may those be a good reminder for future tracks :)
