BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Franks Panic Puzzle]

A simple, straightforward advergame for Wiesi's website. Audio and visuals are pretty solid, but Christ, those frogs are relentless.

[Pogo Swing!]

Dead simple, childlike fun, with a very cute artstyle and a fun-as-hell central mechanic. Pogo stick did feel annoying fragile from time to time - seems that damn thing can randomly break on you if you get unlucky.

Ending was pretty hilarious, too.

[Torture JD Vance]

A much-welcome bit of old-school stress relief, and a pretty straightforward mockery of America's current VP. Personal favourite out of these is "Thwomp" for providing a fun little loop.

Thank you for the feedback. I love it when people tell me their favorite torture method in these types of games.

This is less a traditional game and more like a playable music video (closest equivalent I can think of is Transmigration: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/388286), but god damn is this a piece of minimalist beauty.

Welcome to Newgrounds, you're gonna fit right in.

jaekit responds:

That game is cool, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, originally we had some ideas to make it feel more like a "game" like objects reacting to hitting the player and the player getting punished, but it conflicted with the patterns and immersion

[Rock Paper Scissors world champtionship]

This isn't RPS, this is a parody of gaming culture
A Quality Shitpost(tm), with only the finest MIDI Rips and MS Paint-ings. General comedy was solid throughout.

[Four Second Fury]

A short, but sweet bit of fast-paced, frantic fun. The boss was a real good change of pace after blitzing through all twenty microgames. Did feel the difficulty was a bit all over the place, though - felt like some games were cakewalks and some handed out insta-fails.

[Mark's School Escape]

A perfectly serviceable Riddle School fangame, with some nice bits of dry comedy.
Puzzles did feel a bit easy, though - that's probably just a side-effect of being based on the original Riddle School.

You ever heard of the phrase "short, but sweet"? This kinda epitomises that.
Playtime is hilariously short (best guess is its about two or three minutes), but the overwhelming visuals and loud, upbeat BGM help elevate this relatively basic game into something pretty madcap.

[Newgrounds HQ Showdown]

A short, but sweet little beat 'em up. Good to kill a few minutes with, but didn't feel too deep.
Shield didn't seem that useful whilst playing, and I ended up managing to trivialise the difficulty after learning how to stunlock the teams.
Ending was a pretty good anticlimax - nice and solid punchline to cap things off on.

[SOPANOID]

An easy-to-pick-up Arkanoid clone and a solid piece of political commentary all rolled into one - the untold effects of SOPA's censorship are communicated very effectively through the heavy censorship which affects your gameplay. (Thank God SOPA didn't pass.)
