"As much as I want to like this game, I just can't."
I grew up with Megaman, so he's my most favorite video game character. Megaman, to me, is like his own genre of games, unique and different from other games, yet it can still be related to other games.
My first and foremost problem is that this game is not fun. Usually when a good game is made, you want to explore the levels and see what it takes to build something like them. This game, however, is not like that. I commend you for using your own graphics, but its not seamless and it lacks fluency and well thought out stage design. I constantly find myself trying to get through the stage as fast as I can, and not worry about anything until I get to the boss. Honestly, I can go into the ocean stage and hold down dash button and jump around until I reach the boss. When someone does this, then the map design has failed and is not worth taking a second look at the stage.
My second problem is the boss difficulty on NORMAL mode. You, AT NO POINT, never give the boss a one-hit-kill attack. At this point, it seems to me that the game discourages exploration, and punishes one for not being able to dodge an attack, even though you so generously gave us 3 health bars which means nothing if you can't dodge the boss' ultimate attack; it tears threw it like nothing.
The third flaw I found was also in the ocean stage. The part where you have to climb down the ladder to get to the next screen is most aggravating. If you jump off to the side, and I mean if one pixel is out of place, you are GOING TO DIE. I've never seen a game that requires that you gingerly make your way down a ladder as opposed to jumping off the side to get to the next screen when they both obviously take you to that same place.
Fourth, the spikes. I can understand when you make the spikes chew threw your life as if it were nothing, thats the point (however, in most cases, it means a one-kit-kill). But when you litter a stage with these things, its not uncommon that I want to get trough the stage as fast as possible without having to run into these things. They get annoying, and fast. Granted, I do like the fact that I get second chance if I get out fast enough. Still, it's a common flaw in stage design for people to over step where spikes should be placed.
What do I like about this game? Hard to say. Good attempt, but hopefully more games that wish to do something like this won't follow the same path.
(Since this game was made 4 years ago, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that the owner has made something far superior to this.)

"You need a movie deal and now."
This is, with out a doubt, the best animation on the net to date. You've shown you're potential, and you've done the best you possibly could. You've exceeded my expectations and then some, and I was waiting for the first episode FOREVER. Four years from trailer to episode one is nothing to nitpick at when there is animation of this quality. This is pure genius and I think anyone in their right mind in the film industry should pick you up for either a movie or a series. Keep up the great work, and I hope you succeed.

"EQ the base and snare, and its flawless."
The kick was all up in my face as well as the snare. The hi-hat sounds very static as well, but far less worse than the snare. This song, is otherwise, is fucking awesome, far better than most of the material NGAP has to offer. Awesome. (5/5)(9/10)

So here is how I'm going to break it down...
Intro (0:00 - 0:47): The bass was extremely fuzzy and it overshadowed the kick in the back. But there isn't much to say here other than you might want to equalize it a little. The break into the first part with the lyrics was decent and executed pretty well, however the bass came back and it just didn't seem right.
Buildup (0:48 - 2:07): A buildup should never take that long, and the snares went for 4 straight measures before hitting the chorus again. The crash cymbal was also missed when going into the chorus.
Chorus (2:08 - 2:33) Well, that wasn't very long...nothing else I can say than to lengthen this and shorten the buildup.
Bridge(2:34 - 2:57) Nice variation, but it lacks in substance.
Chorus and Outro (2:58 - 4:19) The chorus was, again, lacking. The outro, completely weak. Why would you slowly lower the volume during the outro when you are just going to end it with one final beat? Seems unneeded.
Besides trying to master this track, the melody was very exceptional and the little variations that kept it from being to repetitive. The effort and skill is there, but you need to hone them a little better. Also, on a final note, I would suggest changing the lead synth to something a little more appealing to the ear.
I liked it, and its a great start to a great song, but like I said, work with it.

I enjoyed the intro transition, something about melding the two together gave the feel that, how I interpreted it, "Even after loss, strength builds, allies are created, and one final attempt to fight a greater evil is made with a certain outcome."
I like it, however, the only thing I don't like is the ending. It left me hanging of the edge of my seat and I wanted more, but that off-key note just killed it...
Good job. 9/10, 4/5.

Haha.. I Didn't Know How To End It xD
