BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Monster Trucks Nitro]

I gotta say, there's something just plain cool about this.

Sure, its essentially an advergame for a random monster truck game that's long since fallen into obscurity (especially given RedLynx is *much* more well known for the Trials games), but its a pretty damn good approximation of a full 3D game made entirely in Adobe Fucking Flash.

That its fun as hell, if a bit janky, definitely helps on the cool factor.

[Quick Pic - HIGH SCORE]

Seems like this is mainly Zelda-themed - working out where all the art came from would require decompiling this in JPEXS, but I suspect its mostly official art from the GBA games.

Gameplay-wise...well, its basically Quick Pic, but with high scores, so I'm just gonna copy-paste my original review:
"Its not particularly original (its essentially just Memory with a time limit), but this was a pretty fun test of my memory and concentration."

Got to level 9 with a score of 19300 when playing this.

[Number]

An idle game stripped to its barest bones - and, arguably, a pretty good parody of the genre.

[3D Frogger]

Whilst the 3D effects are pretty cool, especially for its time, the choice of perspective seriously works against it - you've got basically zero depth perception, making it real damn hard to gauge where hazards are.

[Red & Black]

A set of six cool little timewasters, offering some nice variety.
Blob Ball was the main highlight IMO - bobbing and weaving through enemies never gets old.

Despite having the same colour palette as the Virtual Boy, the visuals were shockingly pleasing on the eyes.

[Blockslide!]

A simple, but pretty fun block puzzler. There's an odd sorta charm to the title screen visuals - can't quite put my finger on why.

[Spot the KitKat Chunky]

A quick-and-dirty six-second shitpost - the "game" itself is trivial to win, but you'll still get a good laugh at the punchline.

[Final Defense]

I remembered having a fair bit of fun playing this as a kid, and I'd say this sorta holds up.

The base gameplay's pretty fun, especially with the ability to block incoming damage with your shield, but the lack of info on your HUD and the lack of enemy variety drag this down pretty hard.

The turret(s) being offset from the centre did throw off my aim at first, but I adapted pretty quickly.

[NeonBlock]

A fun roguelike twist on Tetris, with plenty of replay value.

[Twigi's Twisted Costumes]

This was a whole lotta fun to go through, with so many cool outfits and so many hilariously silly voicelines. The Twist button was a fun nod to the jam's overall idea, too!

Only major criticisms I have are the long load times when starting the game, and the clothes being a bit finicky - seems the code for determining if clothes are on Twigi (and, by extension, whether or not to move them when scrolling) may be a bit fragile.
