BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[BLOOD DICE]

Simple, straightforward, and supremely creepy.

The basic gameplay is obviously based off of Dice Hero (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/650251), but made much more engaging through a combo of random items and some stress-inducing gameplay.

Happy Halloween, Jack!

[Scary Scuffle 3D]

Quick heads-up - this game's broken on Librewolf/Firefox. Starting a match in the single-player version causes the title screen to cover-up the gameplay. There's also some performance issues.

Still had a fair bit of fun after switching to Chrome, though.

Happy Halloween!

DaemonPlus responds:

Thanks for letting me know. That's a strange bug, even more so since I also only use Firefox too. lol I'll have to do more testing. Performance wise, I'm curious about your CPU/GPU/OS, if you don't mind sending that! Disabling the CRT effect and fiddling with other options might improve it in the mean time. :)

[HALLOWEEN HUSTLE!]

Short, but sweet, and a spectacular showcase of what Scratch can do.

Using space to fire on the ant minigame was kinda awkward, and the lack of a cutscene skip option was mildly frustrating, but that's my only real complaints.

Happy Halloween!

brwler responds:

Cutscene skip will come in the first patch, was one of the things I had to cut in order to get the game out on time! :'( Thank you for playing though, and Happy Halloween!

[Find a smiley]

An otherwise-basic find-the-smiley game with some surprisingly spooky diversions. That you have to click the odd smileys to get jumpscared makes it particularly effective.

[Deckerware - Eggbug Party Games]

A pretty charming microgame collection, even if the lack of microgames led to it getting repetitive.

Of all the microgames, "Catch Eggbugs!" was my least favourite - trying to click those eggbugs is a PITA.

May Cohost rest in peace, and may we learn from its successes and failures.

[WigglyPaint]

A simple, but fun drawing program - one that's pretty damn conducive to silly, but fun doodles.

[Memory.exe]

Short, sweet, and simply magical. A finely-crafted metroidvania, paired with impressive puzzles, and capped off a beautiful ending sequence.

Finished my playthrough in 87754 frames, and it was worth every single one.

squidly responds:

Ahh it’s so amazing to see people appreciate this game after so long. Especially enjoying that ending sequence… it really has been so long!

[Kill Eminem]

This hits a lot different after twenty-plus years - Shady may have been just another young, scrappy upstart back when this released, but now he's more-or-less an elder statesman of rap, with a lengthy list of awards to his name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Eminem), and a long and storied career.

The Slim Shady persona that ol' Marshall was known for before this is also pretty much dead now - sure, "The Death of Slim Shady" may have given him one last hyperoffensive swan song, but "Guilty Conscience 2" quite literally killed that fucker.

A pretty basic shooting gallery - just wait for Shady to pop up, open fire on the guy, rinse and repeat until 5k's reached. That hitbox can put the "Slim" in "Slim Shady", and Marshall can be surprisingly quick on the draw, though.

[Make My Next Game]

Short, sweet, and pretty fun little text adventure, with plenty of funny responses to whatever silly things the player comes up with. The text parser can be a bit finicky, but that's fine by me.
