BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[SNAILLR]

A basic, but pretty fun shooter, even if it does seem fairly busted (seems there's a bug which makes you unkillable on Firefox)

Control-wise, I think you should've gone with using left-click to shoot rather than space.

BLACKPINT responds:

thank you! and yes i think so too but wasd and space is pretty ok

[PONG with multiple characters]

A pretty solidly made pong game, with a clever twist.

Main complaint's the lack of a singleplayer/online multiplayer mode.

SepticDolphin responds:

Thanks for your feedback :) the game is kinda old and has bad code so im not going to make one, but i might make a second part to this game one day who knows

[Castle of Glass]

Short, but beautiful. Perfect choice of music, as well.

[DEAD DETENTION #1 (Rescribbled)]

This was a blast from start to finish, and an excellent remake.

Main complaint's the controls on the boss minigame - one button for both jumping and ducking felt pretty awkward. Moving those to different keys on keyboard/having two different buttons for touchscreen should fix that.

UPDATE: Also have a minor complaint regarding the second "Think!" and "Start a Fire!" microgames - hitting the auto-fail conditions in either leads to a bit of time being wasted, as the timer still keeps running. (Not sure if I communicated what I mean clearly enough :P)

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! Really good feedback: I’ll look into adding an option for that :-)

[PowerCubeStationBox™]

The basic idea is pretty creative, and having to manipulate the console to solve puzzles leads to a lot of brainteasing.

Main complaint's the use of A/D/Space to move - using the arrow keys would have been much less awkward.

MUNDONUEBO responds:

Thank you for playing, and for your words!
It's great to know player's impressions

Would you happen to be left-handed? For that case, at least, the arrow keys should have been included. But I also see the benefit of jumping with ↑ or W, althou, maybe, that would remove some fun cumbersomeness

[Xhive]

A simple, but fun shooter whose procedurally-generated hive offers a fair bit of replay value.

Protip: Rapidly tapping the fire key will let you move at full speed whilst firing.

[Putin Sniper Challenge]

The lack of any real challenge beyond "press space when the bullet reaches the middle" caused this to get old extremely quickly.

[Mushroom Wars (Flash Version)]

No polite way to put this - the game's physics are kinda fucked.

Movement feels painfully stiff thanks to dog-slow acceleration, and jumping feels awkward, too. I also managed to get stuck under one of my projectiles, somehow.

(Good to know this happens in both Flash and HTML5 - makes it clear that this is an issue in the game itself)

[Doodle Shooter Game]

A basic, but fun shooter, with a neat notepad-ish artstyle.

Being limited to the left half of the screen felt pretty arbitrary, though, and combined with powerups random movement to make picking them up a bit of a gamble.
