BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[united we dance]

...in retrospect, its kinda fitting Miniclip's first sub here after 9/11 was a silly little patriotic dance game.

Its a pretty basic gadget all around - naught but a few dance GIFs and a seconds-long loop, but hey, at least it helped raise people's spirits in the aftermath of an era-defining tragedy.

[Miniclip Space Invaders]

A straight-to-the-point remake of a venerable top-down shooter, with a nice audiovisual upgrade and a hefty boost to difficulty.

If you're looking for a challenge, this will certainly deliver - not only are the aliens faster and more trigger-happy than in the '78 classic, missing your shot or having it blocked will leave you unable to fire for longer than if you hit your target, punishing sloppy aiming.

Its a major shame Miniclip's long-dead, but at least this is still playable.

[Waddle Antarctic]

A simple, but pretty fun little title, even if the combat system can be broken clean in half by grinding at the punching bag and pouring all your points into strength. I can see *some* attempt to quell that by having higher-level enemies attack first, but it clearly wasn't enough.

There's a fair number of places to go, things to do and medals to earn outside the combat, so I can't hold it too much against this.

If you're looking for the Golden Astronaut, lick the pavement in the alleyway - you'll find it in the bottom-right corner.

[Advent Chickendar 2023]

A finely done flock of Christmas gifts for a lot of Newgrounds' coolest peeps, featuring hilarious malarkey and a hefty medal count. The Easter Eggs (Christmas Eggs?) were a nice touch, too.

[Pico-Cross Collab 2023]

A finely done murder mystery, with many twists and turns
Plus an abundance of excellent art - the solid nonograms don't hurt.

Fantastically done Pico Day title - arguably one of the highlights of 2023.

[Clocks of the BBS 2023]

A solid compilation of clocks, displayed in quite the fine gallery.
I gotta say, the intro in this is pretty damn bombastic - makes me wish I could replay it.

[D.Va Clock and the Quest for Flash 8]

A finely made Clock Day shitpost of an adventure game, with a fair bit of replay value from the three major ways to finish it.

[Red Egg Redemption]

Simple, short, and pretty fun, with some neat BGM as well.
Egg colours were pretty distinctive, making it pretty damn easy to beat.

[Torture the Blammer]

Not exactly much here in terms of torturing this filthy blammer, but its no big deal when you get to give one exactly what it deserves.

BGM is spooky as hell - gives this interactive torture chamber one hell of an atmosphere.

[Just Press Y]

Exactly what it says on the tin - press Y, get a medal and ten points.
The colour scheme suits this shitpost pretty well.
