You've definitely got something going here! I guess some of it's simplicity detract the longevity of it a little, but I noticed in some of your response you're aware of this and will add (more) stuff in later versions. :D
Anyway, it's definitely something fresh to begin with. If you can build more gameplay upon it I'm sure you'll have something good on your handsin no-time. :D

Thanks for the Music !! Yeah, I am definitely going to be adding some more to the game. Disco Fish 2 will have a bit more depth.

This is what pong should've been like in the first place. ;D Anyway, I love the speed you brought into it, things can get hectic pretty quick. Good job mate, you've taken something "simple" and like others have also made pong very stylish in your own way.
Again, good job! :)

Congratulations! I hope this game gets the attention it fully deserves. :)

One of my friends just pointed me towards this, saying I'd probably like the style of this music really much!
And yes, I do! Like Zeriikler said a few reviews below, I doubt anyone can resist tapping their feet or fingers to the beat of this. It's really grasping. Aside from that, there's not a lot of variation to be heard here but to be honest you dont see that often in this genre at all, but that's not to say it wouldn't be nice... :p
I dug the choirs and the rhythm break at the halfway mark but was sad to hear it was slowly but surely falling back into the same pattern, only with a few things missing and then bringing it back in resulting in the same thing. I did like the little arpeggio-like addition that came in (briefly) at the end, but after that the song ended. :p
All in all it sounds very good for something you did for the first time in this style! It's sure to grab anyone's attention from the first beat upward.
5/5 - 9/10!

Everyone can tell you spent such a big time with this, it's really great how you put everything together, really, it all clicks. :)
Really a great portrayal of effort and creativity. I really am impressed! Totally deserved the #1 spot on both weekly and all time!
Congratulations on your achievements,
5/5 and 9/10!

This is definitely one of the better reviews I have read to this song so far, simply because your organization and explanation fully explained why you gave it the score you did.
If anything, I think people should enjoy that the rhyming comes mostly from the Pokemon names THEMSELVES. Sure, some are rhymed using adjacent phrases thrown in, but it's nowhere near as bad as the Hoenn Rap.

I could get into! I love techno music as well, and I love dark approaches to techno as well. :)
I don't know Void Settler, but if it's anything close to this it must be good. :)
I like things like what you did at the 1 minute mark(1:07). I am a big fan of the subtle kick/bass and background support! The hihats you added after that are maybe a little too sharp (if that's the word) and sort of bring the music out of it's momentum, but that may just be me. :D
I love the progression here but I often find myself skipping ahead for a bit to see what's next! I love the bells in this section and the quiet vibe, really awesome. (I could totally see this in a Metroid Menu theme as well btw, lol).
It goes on for maybe a bit too long for it's own good, and falls back into a loop from the first section but with additions. That "phazed" instrument really reminds me of what celldweller does... have you ever heard of them? Great group. I think you'd like them too. :)
The song pretty much goes into another loop with additions, but it really works for a continious effect. :) Keeps you in the momentum of the song for the most part.
The ending is cool! Evil style fadeout, i like that. X3
Overall, really cool song! You may want to take care of a few issues with repetition and some more (but not necessary) variation in the song itself, be it with melodies, bpm or styles, but honestly the song is good as it is. :)
Really, good job!
9/10
5/5!

yay, the length of the review is a new record ;).
At first, thank you that you compair my style with two of the most influened thingies that I can come up with. I always loved the music of Metroid (GC version) and Celldweller... ofcourse! Altrough I am more a LP fan but Celldweller's style, especially WITh Mike Shinoda schopt kont!
This is one of my most deepgoing tracks, and sometimes I even wonder how things has been done, but as you might know, its just like a GIANT jigsaw, you only have to place the pieces on the right track and magic happens instantly.
Thanks for the points and review, its appricaited.
Maybe you should give your twist on it ;)
