BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spine Rider]

Pretty damn fun, and pretty damn hard, with very distinct sepia visuals.

That road isn't just curvy, its non-euclidean.

mwuwm responds:

Haha thanks!

[Kill Shrek]

Very basic RSI-inducer, with little to it beyond "mash Shrek's head and avoid onions".

Having Shrek's head move around would've added some challenge to it.

[West Showdown Arcade Alpha 0.1.1]

The sprites flickering on-screen is accurate to the NES, but it makes at enemies a fair bit tougher when it happens.

Having to mash X to reload the revolver also felt pretty awkward - a good alternative would've been having ammo slowly recharge over time, to give the player a choice between constantly firing at a slow rate or waiting until ammo's full and rapid-firing.

DrawPlusPen64 responds:

Okok, let me test more ways to reload and i'll reduce the sprite flickering

[The Magic 8 Ball]

A basic idea, but the execution isn't the best. Having to reload the tab every time you want to ask a question is a major hassle.

[Block Rush]

An okay Breakout clone, with some pretty good music.

Main complaint's the performance - playing on the stage with the bricks shaped like an X slows my PC to a crawl.

[Wallpaper 2.0 Collab]

A solid little collection of wallpapers - some of these could probably become official ones with how high quality they are.

Nice work, everyone.

SkilledFella responds:

I doubt that my wallpaper will be official...

[Stickman Roof Run]

Gonna be entirely blunt here - this is pretty much unplayable.

Complete lack of keyboard controls aside, actually jumping from building to building is purely luck-based, as you have to hit the jump button and pray your character actually does the rolling jump you want (instead of the inadequate basic jump that gets you killed) *and* that the collision detection doesn't fail, causing them to clip through the building and die.

Sarautulu responds:

I fixed all the errors. Now it should definitely work

[Keian Game]

Short, but sweet little platformer. Didn't find any use for the punch, since the axe was superior in every regard.

[yeah but what if you could go upside down instead 2]

Pretty nice gravity-flip gimmick, but having to use WASD to move was pretty awkward for me.

Remappable controls would've been a godsend.

[Newgrounds Pass 3]

A solidly-made conclusion to the Newgrounds Pass trilogy, with clever puzzles and secrets throughout, plus an excellent payoff for NG Pass 2's ending
