Some thoughts (written while playing through the game since it's short, though not in order):
1) Love the concept with the layering of parts as you progress. And both songs are great! I kind of wish they'd loop, though.
2) A volume slider would be greatly appreciated. It's quite loud in comparison to most of my other programs.
3) The ability to shrink the window and let it run alongside other programs would be nice, though since it's a short game, it's not too bad. I just like to have my idle games running at the same time as whatever I'm working on. It also made giving the next section of feedback trickier.
Music-specific (as a classically trained former music teacher):
- The snare on Dark Age was wild whiplash for me. Given it's just a few measures, I'm assuming it was an error?
- The rims in the following part of Dark Age would serve the song better with a different rhythm than the rest of the ensemble. A simple quarter-eighth-eighth pattern would help keep the momentum.
- Something seems to have gone horribly wrong with the keyboard on Dark Age. It is painfully dissonant (as in, I literally got a headache from listening to it), as if it keeps changing what key it's in. And sometimes sounds like a cat fell on the keys. And balanced to be WAY too loud. But the parts where it does mesh well work well, at least.
- The snare on Private Paradise is a bit quick for the song IMO. I think a slower regal march pattern would work better with the other layers.
- The keyboard in Private Paradise is wonderful. Though I'd recommend arpeggiated chords instead of the parallel fifths at the end. Overall, the piece is well made!
Thank you for your comment ! I am happy you love the concept ! I'll try to follow your advices. For the keyboard on Dark Age i'm really sorry you've got a headach, perhaps there was somthing wrong with the separation of the parties, i'll check that and the other things you've told me. Thank you again !
