This song sounds a lot like "c64vibe" by slaveone. They both have the main melody being played by 8-bittish square waves. They both also kick ass. I especially love when it kicks from the "dorky" square into the dance sections. And the panning at sections like 1:47 adds a cool little effect. I also like the majorly reverbed bongo hits at the end. Nothing really wrong with it, just a nice little diddy. Overall, good stuffs!

What? It's been how long since an Arkanoid remix? This remix is pretty cool, although a little on the bland side. It's not bad, in fact it's pretty good, but lacks originality. It feels like OCR a long time ago when everything used to be techno mixes :) I dig the tempo changes, though. Kinda neat effect. The song is sorta repetitive, but that's ok.

Nothing bad, nothing really outstanding. Catchy, put together well, nothing really bugs me. Pretty neat.

This needs sommore attention, so ill review it, Comet. <songplayed> Really cool stuff. The middle sections are by far the best, the breaks, the intro, and the ending could all use a bit of work, but either way, this mix is still *very* enjoyable, make sure you check it.

0:01 - The intro is a big flaw, I think. while i, personally like it, and i feel like its a good way to start the mix, the quality doesnt match the rest, even if it *is* that same instrument, so im not diggin the intro.

0:16 - boom. this part will totally change your opinion of the mix, and you'll start nodding your head almost immediately, its a very well-done building sensation and it *grabs* you. I love htis part.

1:01 - Okay stuff here, this small section needs some work, especially with the drums that instantly stop at 1:11.

1:30 I do love this next part though, its handeled very well, and best of all: it adds variety, spicin' things up: I like that.

2:08 - Again, it sounds great. but what else can ya do??

3:08 - A bit better, while I don't prefer the ending, its really not that important, the meat of this mix is what makes it so great, its really fun to lsiten to, and Certainly worth checkin' out.

Hehe! Thank's for all of the neutural feedback! I made this a couple years ago and was still learning Fruityloops. I can say that I've gotten alot better and a more unique style. I'm gonna make a remix of another song sometime and submit it! Again, thanks!

Ah, the fond memories of this soul sucking game. How addictive it was, from the first time you played it, to the moments you were drolling over all those bricks, as you've stayed up for at least 48 hours strait trying to beat the thing, to the point where you obtained carpol tunnel syndrome.(SP?)

Personally, I think this was a good remix, definately better then some of the more sketchy ones out there, as the sounds to my ear formed nice and smoothly. Although I really didnt like what happened at 00:16, It did lead up to the awesome comeback at 00:43. I give my full votes for this song...if we could vote. Even if this song wasnt good...I would still do it, just to know someone still enjoys the classics. Good job!

I thought it was great, I don't remember the original so I can't really be a judge on its originality and whatnot...but its definatly well done, simple sounds yet quite catchy

i never heard the original, but this one goes into my "favorites" folder... nothing completely mind blowing, but some songs don't need anything of that sort in order to be great...this is one of them :) good job, since you said this was made a few years ago it seems like youre on a good start as it is

I like this remix, it's fun and has a catchy tune. I've played this game before I think, but don't remember this song or anything like it. It's not too complicated, but it got its parts. I can't get tired of it .
