This player is exceptionally creative and a decent one at that. I'm somewhere in the intermediate range and still learning the game. I already know where I made on of my mistakes, but I enjoy forum critiques and analysis. Laughing I play as black in this game.

That situation at the end had warning lights all over it. When he has the queen, the bishop, and the rook all over near your king, and your queen is out of the picture, you are in serious trouble.

On move 29, you could put pressure on your opponen with Qb5, threatening Qb8, with mate a couple moves away. Of course, if he notices, he just moves a pawn forward. I would have brought my queen back over.

exchanging your c-pawn and also exchanging your c6 knight for his strong central knight were kind of early. they're not bad or wrong moves, but if you want to get to a higher level of play, you want to build up on the tension/imbalances you have on the board for bigger combos...pretty general and powerful concept ive been having success with lately against players around my level who are unaware of it.
