BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stay Indoors]

This game's ZX Spectrum-styled visuals and eerily realistic setting combine to produce a supremely creepy atmosphere. That secret ending really scared the shit outta me.

[Tetris: Charity Edition!]

A pretty solidly crafted April Fool's joke all around.

A-Type does a damn good job recreating the 1989 classic, with the occasional Bob-Omb to spice things up. The cavalcade of NES characters flooding the playfield at seventeen lines caught me by surprise, I'll admit. The ending punchline is also as hilarious as it is dark.

R-Type is a bit of an afterthought - didn't keep me hooked particularly long.

(Sidenote: Using the Tengen version of Tetris in the title screen was pretty clever IMO. Pretty deep cut there.)

[How to Make Basic B]

Exactly what it says on the tin - a detailed guide to recreating the classic B.

I'm not sure if it would have been eligible for Turd of the Week (it got quietly retired some time ago), but considering you put more effort into this than most other Clock Day entrants, you probably wouldn't have gotten it.

[Nauryz's The Game]

There's the core of a fun game in this, but there's two serious flaws here.

First, the lacking acceleration on Nauryz makes him feel pretty awful to control.
Second, the speed at which everything else moves makes acquiring apples a lot more luck based than it should be.

[Nightmare of Dark]

Short, and pretty spooky. The jumpscares in the opening and ending got me pretty good, and this had a pretty nice atmosphere.

Gameplay felt a bit awkward, though - guy doesn't control the best.

[Puccio - The Tower Defender]

You made a real good call with that quick tutorial - I had a lot more fun playing this now that I knew what I was doing.

I initially started by dropping anvils on foes, but ended up switching to jumping on their heads instead - found it a lot more fun.

RichardOz responds:

Thank you very much! I'm glad these updates have made your experience with the game better!

[Dancing Ant]

Behold, the very first submission Miniclip ever uploaded to Newgrounds (and probably the first thing Miniclip produced)...yeah, its kinda crap.

Its got that "humble beginnings" kinda charm things get when their creator goes onto to pull some truly impressive things, but its not much more than some basic animations, SFX and music loops all sandwiched together and handed out like ecstasy at a rave.

[TigerGolf]

An okay enough spoof of a world-renowned golfer. Pretty damn barebones, though - only four options, even if they clearly had some effort put into them.

[PUNCH OUT: TomFulp]

The lacking telegraphing on Fulp's punches and generally awkward, sluggish controls make beating Tom's ass a goddamn nightmare.

Its reportedly pretty easy if you can get knocked down before a round ends, which makes you invulnerable, but good luck pulling that off deliberately.

deathink responds:

tom does telegraph all his movies... you just have to be very observant. the easiest hint is he will wink before doing his KO special movie. I've seen people beat him without taking a hit

[Falling Block]

A quick and simple bit of fun, good to kill a few minutes. There's a fair bit of '00s-era Flash charm to it, as well.
