I really enjoyed how you did the rain, especially as it hits the ground or the umbrella. Also, I liked your take on the theme: it's left kind of open-ended. Obviously it takes place in a graveyard and could pertain to losing someone close to you, but I think it can also be applied to lots of situations like the death of an idea, some kind of failure, a part of your life, etc. Anyways, good job!"},{"author_name":"cwkx","author_uid":"26001","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:25am","epoch":1387268400,"text":"Very simple but effective, not sure why a wet rose made me feel sorry for the guy, but it worked."},{"author_name":"john_conder9","author_uid":"12682","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:47am","epoch":1387269720,"text":"It's interesting.

And pretty :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'll be honest, I don't get the connection of the rain to a &quot;health&quot; bar.

But with the sounds you provided it is, well, not fun, but... it works. I don't know what it is, but it gets to me. I found the rain audio very supporting for the mood. Raindrops sounded rather realistic, while the thunder is more like chip generated.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After i dropped the rose I literally stood there for 2 minutes, listening to the sounds.

Short and to the point, it seemed to really do well in capturing a brief moment in time.
