Didn’t expect to see this as a collab. Not super familiar with the franchise despite its popularity, though my sister was a fan of island adventure.

This was honestly a great opportunity for smaller creators to make themselves known on the creative scene! Even if I’m fashionably late to review this.

This one is the first one that actually tells a coherent story. And it’s probably the catalyst for some juicy lore too especially with act V.

avoid the barf and the germans
never would I have thought I would read such a sentence

Your hitbox is way too big and mobile controls don't really work that well. But playing as a crate dodging barf and germans is the best thing I've heard all year.

Got stuck on level 15 :(

3 stars for 3star

In seriousness, 3 stars is what I would rate this as, mainly because of the creative concept, however it is held back by the soundtrack and lackluster graphics that remind me of FNAF world. I had a fun time with this though, good work despite its short length.

I don’t ever listen to music like this, and that’s not an exaggeration.

But this one genuinely rocked me to my core. It kept me enthralled the entire time when I first heard this around 2 years ago. I made a pretty cool GD level on it by replacing the song file. Unfortunately I never finished it, but damn I wish I had. Could’ve been a genuine masterpiece of a level to go along with this masterpiece. Yes, it’s heavy metal grunge, but it’s GOOD heavy metal emo. Idk. I’d be the last person you’d expect to enjoy stuff like this yet here we are. My latest song, newer jersey, was unconsciously inspired by this.

Let me just get this out of the way. This is my favorite of your compositions this year and it's not even close. Definitely some of your best since survive the night. As time has gone on I feel like you're developing a better intuition for how and when to use the choir. Here it serves nothing besides truly elevating the piece and making it even more impactful. Monophonic choir can't really carry any section on its own, but put in this context it is truly incredible.

Each individual section is phenomenal. A genuine showcase of how much you've improved over time. Minor IV esque chords sprinkled throughout BUT changed enough to still have variety and bring that sense of longing. Really that and the instrumentation are the two main things going in that direction.

Issues begin to arise when you put them all together though. Namely that the order of sections is off in my eyes. I understand that with the sudden entry of the much more bombastic 2:24 section you're trying to depict the extinction event, but why does it have to be in the middle? Why not start us off with the event and then the rest of the song is the unicorn reminiscing? I'm sure there's enough creative juice to make that work too. Idk just feel like it would make a lil more sense and also help with the transition, since the sudden transition kinda does come out of nowhere.

Imma roleplay as an audio splicer for a sec. Splice out 2:24-3:38 and move it to the beginning. Then take 0:00-2:23 and move it to right after that first section before transitioning into the piano at 3:38 and leave the rest of the piece alone.To make that work you'll have to break up the main melody a bit more and add some variation, but I think it could work pretty swimmingly.

How I wish I could splice out Indiana out of existence. That song is on par with adventures of a lost clown. They even have similar vibes.

Anyway my favorite part is 3:14 easily. It genuinely feels like you've been transported into the artwork. I can't get over how awesome that and the following section are. Made me tear up a little and I've never met this poor unicorn.

Edit: the transition into the extinction event kinda made it feel like the event was happening at the moment rather than a flashback because of the suddenness. So maybe I just need to adjust my head canon. The first half is the unicorn frolicking with its other unicorn friends and reflecting on the good times. The extinction event happens, then the unicorn is reminiscing. This keeps the story and upholds the more practical reasons for keeping it in the middle that I didn’t originally consider lol.

Actually mixing wise this is pretty solid! Especially at the drop. Gives me dimrain vibes a lil bit for some reason. I stopped liking F-777 after the release of hydra in early 2017, I feel like most of his songs after that didn’t have the soul of his older music. Didn’t expect triplets to show up lmao. This definitely deserves FP imma chuck it in the blog post.

Nice clouds! Sun would be cool too but maybe it’s just out of frame or smth. Think the shadow is my favorite part

Super will forever be my favorite

This is really cool! Great recreation. Maybe too much of one, feels like you could’ve just put the original through a pixel filter that’s how accurate it is. But maybe some stylistic changes would’ve been nice too. The static on the TV and the clouds are a good start.

Edit: nooo don’t “fix” them they’re my favorite part! I was saying lean into the changes more, not less!
