Just remember, every time Blockhead whispers in your ear, he's reminding you of the success and love from your adoring public that he helped create.
Keep up the good work, Mike. Looking forward to the game.

YOU are the mastermind, Swain. Your humour exceeds all.

It's a decent effort, but the game has a lot of frustrating qualities that prevent it from being enjoyable. Most of your animations are quite slow. Speed things up where you can so people aren't waiting for mundane stuff to happen.
Attention to detail is important too. Try livening things up with background art and such. A white background can be ok, but it just comes across as laziness in this situation.
Keep trying.

Yes, some actions are little bit slow, but background isn't always just white (only at beginning, because dood's in desert).

You have a talent for writing ambient music that comes across as really gentle. Most of my stuff ends up coming across too strong even though I'm aiming for ambient levels like in your music.
I love this piece, just as I liked Ants in Blue Gel. I'd love to collaborate with you one day on something for newgrounds. Keep up the good work.

Well, there's many kinds of ambient songs, even abrasive ones. You should just make the kind you're best at.
A collab with a fellow ambient artist!.. that'd be new for me, although my collab with Kevin Johnson involved sharing and swapping of synths. I usually only collab if I feel the other person can bring something to the table which I can't do myself - like guitar or singing. However, I'd be interested in giving it a shot sometime. Thanks for the review!

"Couldn't be better minimalist ambience"
This reminds me a lot of the music that you used to hear in the 2d Oddworld games. I enjoyed it in the background of Pandemic. It doesn't utilise much more than a simple choir pad, beats and a few warbly background ambience effects. But it does the job to give across a kind of sad, yet peaceful sound.
This is beautiful to just have on repeat in the background over and over. Nice work.

Hey thanks! Yes, I just found out that the Pandemic game made the front page and it has over 100,000 thousand views! I think I just doubled my amount of exposure, lol, thanks for the review.
