Two Knight Sacrifice

I'm a decent chess player, but I know I have the potential to be much much better than I am because I've always been talented at chess and the majority of my losses stem from stupid, obvious mistakes in a game that i had played otherwise almost flawlessly. However, I know that my chess skillz need alot of toning, and so I figured I'd post this game, one I'm particularly proud of, in which I sacrificed two knights and checkmated the king after he blundered in an otherwise unclear position.

 

Tell me what you guys think. Did I play this game well? How could I improve here? And were these sacrifices sound enough to be played?

One thing I could point out is that after 29... Ne4+! (instead of 29... Nf5) black gives a chekmate in two moves. The reason why e4 is better square for the knight is that here it intercepts the queens defence of g2. I don't really believe that all these sacrifices were correct but still they worked in the end and you deserve points for brave play.

yes after some analysis i believe ive concluded that Rf8 all but wins for black. i am now upset with my overly bold sacrifices. that ebing said... a win is a win, and it could be said the shock of the sacrifices pyschologically contributed to the final blunder
