BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[TheExtreme Stick Tutorial]

A pretty comprehensive and pretty cool guide to stick animation, with a pair of cool tracks as background music to boot. This may have been intended for the software of its era, but much of it still holds up today.

If you're wondering what the tracks are, Track 1 is "Stupid MF" by Mindless Self Indulgence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjLVijzJ9SI), and Track 2 is "Madness7" by cheshyre (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/81367).

[CLOCKTRIS]

The unique playfields and somewhat unique scoring system did provide some cool twists on the Tetris formula, but they're let down pretty hard by clunky and barebones gameplay (no hard drop/rotate left, awful-feeling soft drop due to a delay before it kicks in, and dog slow line clearing)

[Brick Boiz]

A simple idea, executed pretty damn well, providing plenty of 1-bit arcadey fun.

[Slime 3K Demake]

You did a damn good job squeezing a twin-stick shooter onto an original Game Boy. Impressive demake.

ArcadeHero responds:

Not really an original GB game, it's more GB-like :) Thank you so much!

[Voter Smash V1.0]

A basic, but pretty fun interactive movie - kicking that nerdy-looking blammer's shit in doesn't get old, and the triumphant "Gonna Fly Now" makes beating his ass all the more cathartic.

[Torture Bill Gates]

A crudely-drawn and, in my opinion, rather unimpressive interactive movie - it got repetitive hearing the exact same scream used in multiple kill options.

The main highlight was the frying pan - the buildup to the kill was pretty good, and I burst out laughing at the sight of Bill Gates' cartoonishly flattened face.

The BGM's a nice and jaunty old-timey loop, though it gets repetitive pretty quickly thanks to its short length.

[-Red-]

A dead simple idea, executed to perfection. Redirecting multiple meteors with a single burst of fire feels awesome to pull off, and the highly dynamic physics-based gameplay will keep you coming back for more.

The mysterious-feeling and chillingly good choice of BGM, plus the dark, almost apocalyptic colour scheme go shockingly well with the gameplay - makes it feel like you're protecting yourself from the end of the world.

[Pinball Fantasy]

Awkward-feeling flippers and off-feeling ball physics drag this basic pinball experience down massively.

The playfield's pretty dull as well, with naught but a bunch of basic-looking pop bumpers to go for.

[Quick Pic]

Its not particularly original (its essentially just Memory with a time limit), but this was a pretty fun test of my memory and concentration.

Played a single game and got a score of 24750, reaching level 8.

[Roxas Dress-up Game v1.0]

Visuals are alright (they definitely give off a Y2K vibe, even if Roxas's face is a bit wonky) but the selection here's seriously damn limited - most of the options are just recolours of the same piece of clothing.

The Keyblade selection is particularly lacking - you've only got the Kingdom Key and Ultima Weapon to play with. The visual effect for swapping them's pretty cool, but that's about it.
