BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Memory Station β]

Basic idea, but competently executed and *bloody hard*.
I could only get up to four colours on 3x3 and two on 5x5 - I ended up cheating with the print screen tool to get the rest of the medals.

Audio is kinda jank, too - a couple sound effects seem to be cut short.

[8-puzzle: Hex]

A clever take on a classic formula - the move counter turning red when you've failed to find an optimal solution is a nice touch.

[Capconami quiz]

A quite meaty quiz on some well-beloved (mostly) titles, with plenty of questions on offer.

Visuals are pretty cute as usual, thouogh the lack of music and iffy grammar does drag it down somehow.

[8-Puzzle Redux]

A minor step up from the original - the most obvious improvement was that you're immediately informed if you've failed the puzzle, rather than finding out after you've spent the past five minutes trying to find a solution.

Whilst the arrow key controls are missing, it isn't a major loss, given mouse works pretty well.

Otherwise, its mostly the same 8-puzzle we know and love, just with an HTML5 coat of paint.

[RE1 quiz]

A short, but sweet and hard quiz with some pretty entertaining artwork. Grammar was a bit odd, and there was a complete lack of music, though.

[8-puzzle]

Not the most original concept, but it was executed pretty damn well.

Definitely racked my brain quite a bit with this - finding the optimal solution for each level gets pretty damn hard pretty damn quick.

[Newgrounds Pass 2]

A step up from the original - whilst the inconsistent difficulty remains, the puzzles are more creative and finding secrets is more rewarding.

The ending is pretty interesting as well, setting the scene for a much more impactful ending in NG Pass 3. I'm not gonna spoil it here - if you wanna know, reach the end yourself.

[Newgrounds Pass]

A basic, but fun quiz title which suffers from a rather uneven difficulty curve - though part of that can be attributed to the passage of time (level 9 uses a set of level icons which haven't been in use since 2012, for instance).

SECRET 2) On Level 30, click the glint on the knife. You will get the medal after Strawberry Clock finishes talking.

(Press tab on any level for "Caught Out", then press tab again for "Does Not Compute")

[fe3l1ngsk1lledd: The Game]

A competently put-together platformer, if one whose visuals are nothing to write home about.

The alien boss was a bit of a ballache - with naught more to it beyond jumping over alien balls with little margin for error, it got frustrating pretty quickly.

The grumpy boss, meanwhile, felt far too easy, given its sole attack was easily dodged. Ended up beating it by just moving to the far-right corner and going AFK whilst writing this review :P

Music was also pretty good - can't go wrong taking some classics from the Audio Portal.

[Trophy Collab]

The use of a trophy dispenser was a pretty clever framing device for this collab. Choice of music was damn good too, and everyone involved put out some damn good work. (The medals are a nice bonus.)

Main major complaint is that trophies aren't saved, meaning you lose all of them when you close/refresh the tab.

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it a ton.
