BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[THE SUBSPACE EMISSARY COLLAB]

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

[Bricklayer for Newgrounds v1.5]

An impressively good remake of a Macintosh classic - this HTML5 title's Daily Award was richly deserved.

[LITTLE ADVENTURE FANTASY LAND]

I have zero clue what the actual fuck I just played but holy shit that was wild beyond belief.
Very unique core mechanic, very pleasing visuals.

[NG Levels 2013]

A neatly-made archive for Newground's current level icons, even if it has been surpassed by NG Levels 2014.

The "About" screen does pops up underneath the level text when viewing the "Levels", "More Levels" and "Top Levels, Etc" tabs - by my guess, that's either an issue with Ruffle or with you making a minor goof with the text's depth.

Cyberdevil responds:

Oh dang, a bug! Nice find man...

I wonder if I still have the source for this, will see if I can fix that real quick if I do. Otherwise hopefully there's nothing like that with the newest... I think it's my goof with how the elements are layered there, Ruffle hopefully doesn't change that.

[NG Halloween Levels 2013]

A neatly-made archive for Newground's special Halloween level icons, even if it has been surpassed by NG Levels 2014.

Seems like some of the level icons are different in this than in 2014 - not entirely sure why, but I'm guessing the staff weren't happy with some of the icons and decided to change them.

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah I'm not sure why some of the icons changed around this time either, but thus the new version. As far as I know none have changed since 2014.

[Pico's School 2]

A pretty cleverly done April Fool's prank, which did a pretty solid job masquerading itself as a genuine Pico's School sequel.

Of particular praise is the wrench found to the left of the school, which gives the impression of an upcoming puzzle which requires its use.

[NG ranks/levels handbook]

Basic as this Flash may be, its also a neat little time capsule of some visuals from Newgrounds' early days.

The Audio Portal ranks are really cool - feels like that should make a comeback.

[Become Level 60]

Well, that wasn't much. Just a button, a few frames, and some music made from TF2 SFX.
The duplicate preloader was oddly interesting - not sure how that came about.

[NG Levels 2014]

A very neatly made archive for Newgrounds' current level icons and auras - both the regular and halloween versions.
Main complaint is being unable to easily swap between the regular and Halloween versions - makes comparing level icons a bit of a hassle.

Anyways, quick heads-up for Cyber - the "NG Level Archives" link under "Nostalgia" is broken - the link (https://ngarchive.aksumka.com/levels) gives me to a 404, and it appears Aksumka's archive has gone down for good. It does seem there's archives of it on the Wayback Machine, so you should be able to fix the link to some extent.

Cyberdevil responds:

Mmm I hadn't considered a comparison between normal/Halloween level designs at all, good idea if I do a new version of this...

Thanks for the heads up on the link. I'm hosting the old aksumka archive on my own site as well now since the official one went down. Not the whole thing, but the file archive specifically (with level icons) can be found here too: https://ngpot.com/archive/
