BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sunday Drive 2]

Average day on the A1
Straightforward arcadey fun, with a good dose of British humour, and solid music from HS2.
No clue what ABV those beers are, but they gotta be pretty strong - just a couple will ruin your ability to see where you're going.

Chris responds:

I based the graphic on the old Special Brew cans which was 9% ABV lol

[Windowz 98 NetTowns Edition]

The Internet of the '90s was well before my time - I was born on the Millenium, and came of age in the 2010s. So, assessing how accurately this captures the 'Net of old is something I'm likely not qualified to do.

What I can say, however, is that this was a fun-as-hell romp through the 'Net of old, and very much a "warts and all" look at the era - you definitely didn't shy away from showing off or poking fun at the weirder and more deranged things the early 'Net or the 1990s had to offer.

Its hard for me to pick a particular highlight of this behemoth of a Flash Forward entry - the impressively solid gadgets (AOL Runner, Paint), the cleverly hidden links (e.g. that DOOM 95 icon linking to the Triple Pack), the top-notch writing crammed into every nook and cranny, all of it comes together to make one of the best things I've seen all year.

bergmik responds:

I know you're just one of the many AI on the botnet keeping the dead internet afloat, but it still means a lot to hear! We had a lot of fun making it!

[Fun Home: Part 1]

Creepy as all hell, with impressive NES-era graphics and a damn good atmosphere.

Main point of criticism's with the controls - WASD to move I can wrap my head around, but arrow keys for major actions?

deathink responds:

Controls are always a huge point of contention with my keyboard games. I'm looking into controller support, and even remapping for future updates and releases. Thank you for playing and your kind words.

[SGALE- Small Game About Length Expansion]

A solidly done bite-sized platformer, with a pretty cool gimmick.
Main bug I found was the secret medal being awarded despite my time being slower than 40 seconds.

mrstiK101 responds:

TYSM!

Actually, I just fixed this bug, right just before I saw your reply. Coincidences, I guess lol.

But thanks!

[Anxi's Carnation]

Pretty simple to get into, and pretty damn fun, but *holy shit* is this tough.
If you added in a level select or an easier difficulty option, I would not blame you.

Tyhond responds:

Ah make sense :> I designed this as a more arcadey style in mind :>

[Character Select Collab]

With the metric fuckload of top-quality art and GIFs crammed into this collab, I'm probably straining Newgrounds' servers just loading this fucking thing.

Hell, it probably strains Ruffle to its limits as well - this behemoth takes a *while* to load.

SpicyShark responds:

I literally had to close all my other apps for this thing to work

[Cardmancer]

A fun little card-themed gadget, with a couple free medals for playing.
I do wonder how the trick works, though...

TristanMX responds:

It's mermaids' magic...

[Chess Force]

A beautifully made and fun-as-hell love letter to chess and its worldwide fandom.
Main complaint's the performance - this game goddamn chugs on my system.

BoMToons responds:

Glad you enjoyed overall. Sorry to hear about the performance tho… can you DM me more info about which parts were particularly laggy and your system specs?

[The Toybox Collab]

A goddamn smorgasbord of top-notch and cute-as-hell artwork, from a whole load of excellent artists, all tied together with a banger tune and a top-notch framing device.

Congrats to everyone who worked on this - your Daily Feature was very well deserved!

Tyhond responds:

YIPPEE! :D Congrats to everyone!

[Kill kayne west]

After screwing about with this and decompiling it in JPEXS, it seems two medals are a bit borked as of this writing - "Frozen west" isn't popping when I click on Kanye West, and "Twitter fans" requires I repeatedly click the angry face option.

Simoes1000 responds:

The twitter fans is ok. I did it proportionally. The medals are fixed.
