BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[NGADM 2025 Scoreboard]

The NGADM's arrived once more, and we've got quite the stylish scoreboard to take a peek at.
Really love the aesthetic you went for - its got quite a Y2K vibe to it.

AED4 responds:

Thanks ^^ Indeed, sleek 'n' clean Y2K ended up being the visual theme for this year ;)

[Torture JD Vance]

A much-welcome bit of old-school stress relief, and a pretty straightforward mockery of America's current VP. Personal favourite out of these is "Thwomp" for providing a fun little loop.

NuclearTaco2004 responds:

Thank you for the feedback. I love it when people tell me their favorite torture method in these types of games.

[on/uo]

This is less a traditional game and more like a playable music video (closest equivalent I can think of is Transmigration: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/388286), but god damn is this a piece of minimalist beauty.

Welcome to Newgrounds, you're gonna fit right in.

jaekit responds:

That game is cool, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, originally we had some ideas to make it feel more like a "game" like objects reacting to hitting the player and the player getting punished, but it conflicted with the patterns and immersion

[The Blue Cartridge]

I gotta say, this was impressively creepy - sure, the platforming physics were a bit jank, but that helped sell the "bootleg cartridge" feeling in hindsight, and the general atmosphere was top-fucking-notch.

Seeing the game start at the first "real" section caught me off-guard, too - it was probably just a simple autosave in hindsight, but it helped give the feeling there is SOMETHING in there.

Welcome to Newgrounds, you're gonna fit right in.

TheRealBruceCat responds:

Thank ya for a review, I'm glad I achieved my goal

[Soccer Ball Roller Madness]

A basic idea, executed...none too well, I feel.
The visuals were easy on the eyes, but the ball felt awful to control, general gameplay felt like a gamble with how the coins moved, and the game repeatedly refused to give me my medals, even after winning multiple times and following your instructions.

raphaelcarrard responds:

How strange... this problem doesn't happen on the Android version with Google Play Games, why isn't it working on Newgrounds?

Dude, I'm going to release the medals manually for you because I have nothing else to do.

[2D Cube]

A basic puzzle platformer, heavily held back by janky collision and physics which frequently kill me or render the level unwinnable. Of particular note are the obvious ground seams - those stop my movement or let me pass whenever they feel like it.

raphaelcarrard responds:

I apologize, friend, but at least you managed to win the game from what I saw :)

[Super Blocky: Dash Sector]

Dead simple to pick up, brutally hard to beat, and a whole lotta arcadey fun, with solid pixel-art visuals and a six-pack of banger Flash-era tracks.

BigAl0104 responds:

Thanks for playing! :)

[Black and Orange]

Simple, straghtforward, and superbly done in every regard, from the choice of colour scheme to the gallery interface to the pounding techno track.
Excellent work, everyone!

Tyhond responds:

Excellent work to all! ^_^

[Eyebot VS Scarlet]

This is one hell of an interactive movie - the "Talk" section was a fun little diversion, the main fight was exhilarating as hell to play through, and the banger soundtrack did plenty to tie it all together.

Welcome to Newgrounds, you're gonna fit right in.

TheGuyWhoMadeEyebot responds:

Thanks! Looking forward to making more stuff like this

[Every Platformer Ever: THE KEY TO FREEDOM beta]

A pretty neat little platformer demo, with a fair bit of style.

SlushieOFFICIAL responds:

Thanks for the review!!
