BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riddle School 2]

Bigger and better in every major way, this made it clear JonBro was here to stay.

The coin hunt was a minor affront, to be blunt, but I can forgive the stunt for something this damn fun. The vending machine was a pain, too - oddly realistic, but that isn't enough to woo.

Classic music as well - I could listen for a lengthy spell.

(Okay, enough rhyming - this is a Flash classic for damn good reason)

[Riddle School]

Short, sweet, and simple fun, and a solid debut for a then eleven-year old JonBro.
Plenty of personality, even in this simple Pico's School parody.

[Worm Paint]

A simple, but fun little paint program, with plenty of cute and fun ways to fuck about and have some fun.

That black hole tool can absolutely WRECK performance, though, god damn

[Bando's Comic Wizard]

There's obviously a fair bit more you could to improve this, but as it is, this is a pretty fun little gadget to play with, and was an absolute godsend for comic creators before the Art Portal got multi-art support.

I'd like to give particular praise to Montrose and Dieswyx for the bursting-with-personality art and the banging Amiga-style chiptune - makes this feel like so much more than a simple comic utility.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! @Dieswyx really knocked it out of the park with the song, really capturing that Amiga-style as you said.

We've got more coming to Bando's! We're going BEYOND comics! 🚀

[Bride]

A very impressively done recreation of a truly vintage console experience.
Easy to pick up and play, and adorable as hell, too.

(The alarm was a nice touch - sure, its redundant in an age of smartphones, but its just such a cool little feature!)

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

We wanted to be thorough in our design! This is an actual Game & Watch homebrew game after all, and they always had an alarm. Took me forever to design that bell! Glad you like it!! 💖

[Help Phil Find His Dildo]

This is a pretty solid troll submission - the crude-as-hell visuals and VA work complement the charmingly crude setup.

Gameplay's pretty damn boring once you get the hang of it, though the random references did a good job getting a chuckle out of me.

KALane2007 responds:

Thank you

The gameplay I feel should stay the same but I might add more events to it to make it less boring

As for the references more will be added

[Spooky Music Machine]

A cool little digital theremin to mess with.
I quite like the skeumorphism and button SFX - gives it a bit of a physical feeling, whether on mobile or PC.

This feels like some cool thing you'd have found on mobile, before app stores started getting drowned in a cavalcade of crap.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thanks! @alsoknownas1 was working on a sound engine that was interactive, and I thought yeah, this could work as a toy! Glad you like the design. I wanted it to have that retro skeuomorphism of the early App Store or Flash. I dig that style so much.

[Off the Grid - Summer 2024 Collab]

So many awesome artstyles, so many cool characters. Kitty, you beautiful bastard.

I could look at this all fucking day.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thank you! @WillTommoDDD brought together a great team and did an amazing job with the logo and design. It was super easy for aka1 and I to make an interface. And that art needed the best interface! So many good artists!

[THE SUBSPACE EMISSARY COLLAB]

A truly stunning tribute to a criminally underrated enemy roster. Excellent work from each and every one of you!
