BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Assassin Meltdown]

A competently made shooting gallery, albeit lacking anything to spice it up. Those soldiers do seem pretty tough, though - nothing short of a headshot would put them down.

As an aside, I'd recommend changing this game's genre to "Action - Shooter - First-Person".

[Awsometale]

A short, sweet, and silly send-up to a classic indie RPG. Would've loved to have more options than just killing everyone, but ah well.

Also, damn, this is basically eleven free medals.

[Abbabeb - The Game]

A nice little rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, a pretty fiendish riddle, and a solid overall Clock Day celebration.

I'll admit I was stumped as shit on the riddle - ended up bypassing it by decompiling the fucker in JPEXS.

[Kill the "Duck Hunt" Dog!]

I was born 20 years too late to grow up with Duck Hunt, but I can still appreciate the simple appeal of annihilating a generational annoyance. I will say, that dog's a pretty slippery bastard - nothing short of a direct hit to the torso or head will kill him.

[Super Rad Awesome]

Top-notch chiptune soundtrack, a treasure trove of medals for hunters to pick up, and oodles of nods to some of pop culture's most beloved characters, from the 80s to the Y2K era, make this probably one of the best pixel hunts to ever grace Newgrounds.

[They Live: The Game]

The awkward gameplay and weak-as-hell shotgun make this pretty difficult to get into, but I can still appreciate a nicely-made tribute to Rowdy.

deathink responds:

yeah, the thing is, I never meant this as an actual game. in my mind it was just fan art, like a "what if they live was a nes game". the fact that some people confuse it as a legitimate game is kind of flattering

[Da Best Gaem]

Between Nyan Cat being the main star, the bacon strip cursor, and the background appearances of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Pedobear and Hitler (🎶two of these things are not like the others🎶), you can instantly date this to the first half of the 2010s. ESPECIALLY the frivolous use of Hitler - that comes off in pretty bad taste these days.

The basic gameplay's pretty fun, though - can't exactly go wrong with having the player bob and weave through obstacles.
Would've liked to have had an autofire for the lasers - holding down this mousepad is hell on my finger.

deathink responds:

Some extra context to this game is that I made thi sover a weekend-ish, and all the features came from a twitter post where I asked for suggestion for making the worst game ever made hahah
that why it is so random, like a fart button and an mlg horn... they both do almost nothing haha

[Cult Classic]

An absolute smorgasboard of references from the '80s to the Y2K era await you in this bright and vibrant pixel-art ode to pop culture.

If you're hunting for a Hexalist spot, or you're a medal hunter at heart, this hundred-medal title is a must-play.

[The Exterminator]

Simple, straightforward, roach-slaughtering fun. Does feel like those roaches have pretty finicky hitboxes, though - not sure why.

Visuals are pretty solid, being essentially a hybrid of 2600-era and NES-era graphics, and the gunfire/bomb SFX was nice and snappy.

deathink responds:

this was the first game I ever really made. I actually even got it sponsored. The hitboxes are real bad. Admittedly, I didn't know what I was doing, but I learned a real lot.

[Extranatural Matters: sewer work]

Simple, but pretty damn creepy. That jumpscare got me good whilst I was fucking with the valves, and the post-death eating sounds sounded seriously disgusting.

Dreadeam responds:

yeah unfortunately there are features that for some reason don't work. But I'm glad you liked it :D!!!
