BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Stay Awake-]

A basic enough Flash game, good to kill a few minutes with. Pretty solid choice of BGM and real nice '00s-era visuals are the main highlights for me.

[Riddle School 1.5]

A solidly done Riddle School side-game, with some pretty clever puzzles and quality dialogue. If this came out back in '06, I'd have thought JonBro himself had made it.

[Take-Care Your Pal!]

The moment you mentioned Can Your Pet in the description, I knew exactly what kinda direction this was gonna take. Creepy as all hell from start to finish. Does seem the mouse disappears when I hover over the game window, but I can forgive that. (I'm also on Firefox, so it might just be a browser thing)

[The Blue Cartridge]

I gotta say, this was impressively creepy - sure, the platforming physics were a bit jank, but that helped sell the "bootleg cartridge" feeling in hindsight, and the general atmosphere was top-fucking-notch.

Seeing the game start at the first "real" section caught me off-guard, too - it was probably just a simple autosave in hindsight, but it helped give the feeling there is SOMETHING in there.

Welcome to Newgrounds, you're gonna fit right in.

Thank ya for a review, I'm glad I achieved my goal

[Soccer Ball Roller Madness]

A basic idea, executed...none too well, I feel.
The visuals were easy on the eyes, but the ball felt awful to control, general gameplay felt like a gamble with how the coins moved, and the game repeatedly refused to give me my medals, even after winning multiple times and following your instructions.

raphaelcarrard responds:

How strange... this problem doesn't happen on the Android version with Google Play Games, why isn't it working on Newgrounds?

Dude, I'm going to release the medals manually for you because I have nothing else to do.

[Gappy's Playground]

My only real complaint is having to hold Z to run - that gives me pain in my finger.

Otherwise, this is an extremely fun little playground, with some truly top-notch movement. I can see the seeds of what would become Coinkeeper's Cantrip in this.

[Gappy's Adventure : Coinkeeper's Cantrip (DEMO)]

My only complaint with this demo is the lack of an auto-run feature - means I have to constantly hold down Z to move at top speed, which strains my finger.

Everything else is top-fucking notch. This was a goddamn brilliant platformer. Hope to see the full release soon!

[Pumpkin Battle]

I remembered playing this on Crazy Monkey Games as a kid.
Coming back, I'd say this definitely holds up as a quirky RPG parody - fight animations are pretty damn solid, and the fight itself is a fun little romp, if nothing particularly deep.

[Trivia Night at Applebee's]

A short, sweet, straightforward, and pretty fun trivia game, with a few cool secrets sprinkled in.
That ending was pretty interesting - seems this is linked to some wider HiveClock lore...
