BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!!!

[Windows 96 Emulator (Read Des)]

A fine, if somewhat barebones, Windows parody, with a fair number of medals and even a secret boss fight if you try deleting "My Computer".

[Pool 8 Pesos]

A fun and stylish little billiards game, and a pretty solid tech demo for Godot's rigid bodies.

Add an option for 2-player (both online and offline), and you've got a Daily Winner for sure.

[Praying Simulator]

A simple, but solid little game with a surprisingly strong message.

Main complaint I have's with the medals - being able to unlock only one at a time was a PITA.

[Project Ruffy]

A pretty basic, but fun little platforming test. Main major bug I noticed is that shooting the crusher/sawblades injures Ruffy.

Funny how Flash is doing so well, in spite of its official death back in 2020.

MebroukTheCat responds:

I hope It'll be better in the official release of Ruffy the Shelline.
