BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Do not break spaghetti]

A very brief shitpost, with some free medals on the side. Does have an odd charm to it, though.

[Donut Dodger]

A pretty barebones, but pretty fun avoider. Difficulty curve seems pretty steep to me - getting to Insane seems damn-nigh impossible.

[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.
