BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kill Justin Beaver]

This seems pretty quaint nowadays, considering Bieber branched out pretty far from his teen-pop origins in the mid-'10s.

The bottle, knife and shuriken all hit to the left of where my mouse is, which complicated aiming for me a fair bit. Combine that with Beaver's erratic movement and the travel time of every weapon except the handgun, and you've got a pretty difficult target to take down. Still pretty fun, though.

(Sidenote: The handgun looks to be based on a CZ-75, but I can't pinpoint what the rocket launcher was based on.)

[NG Insult Generator]

A cute little joke Flash, made to cook up some quick-and-dirty shittalk.

I'd personally recommend coming up with your own insults over using this (for a variety of reasons), but its pretty fun to see what put-down the word slot machine will come up with.

Its like using an LLM, except its existence isn't ruining the Internet.

[Duke Nukem 3D Slots]

I'll admit, my expectations were pretty low going into this - slots have always been too luck-based to keep me hooked - but I ended up having a surprising amount of fun with this.

This is due to a combo of the rollers being player-stopped, and the lights underneath providing a means to time your stops. With those two, this slot machine actually has an element of skill to it.

Having a heavy dose of that classic Duke Nukem charm DEFINITELY helped.

[ArmorSlots]

Slots have never been my kinda thing. Way too luck-based for me.
If you're into that shit, you'll likely enjoy it, but I personally found it pretty dull.

As for visuals, the low-quality 3D modelling for Armor Slots' symbols, the techno-futuristic font used in certain places and the choice of soundtrack all just scream "mid-'00s Flash" to me.

Main highlight's the soundtrack. Its pretty enjoyable.

[Cubefield]

This might not look like much now, but this blew people's minds when it first released. Full 3D in Flash was unthinkable back in '06, even in a form as basic as this.

Gameplay-wise, its a dead-simple idea, executed well - naturally, it holds up just swell.

[Libyan Hamburger Recipe]

A short, but sweet little political cartoon - one made when the Arab Spring was recent news, and when hopes for Libya's future were high.

[The Bill Cosby Fun Game]

The only celeb I recognised in this was Cosby, and it sure as hell wasn't for his comedy.

The base idea may have been blackly comedic back in '05, but there's no denying its aged like milk - after Cosby's second rape trial in 2018 put his ass behind bars and double-tapped his career, this comes off kiiiinda insensitive.

Gameplay's pretty basic and puts you at the whims of RNGesus, but it works well enough as a black comedy delivery mechanism. You want my advice, play on Easy to keep yourself from getting fucked by random chance.

[Hexagon]

If you're not sure whether or not to buy Super Hexagon, just play this for a few minutes and you'll work it out pretty quick.

As for my take on this game, its a dead-simple jam idea, executed to perfection, and the seed for one of the best indie titles of 2012.

[NO TIME FOR PIZZA]

A simple, silly and surprisingly stressful little test of your ability to work under pressure. Pretty damn fun, I'd say.

Visuals are clean, with a fair bit of charm, and the overall vibe does a good job on the comedy front with a tasteful dose of horror.
