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!

[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

[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...

[Save Your Girl]

Short, but sweet little platformer.
Main complaint's the doors - didn't find them intuitive at first, and briefly thought getting past the first key was impossible as a result.

hhpony4 responds:

I figured that might happen, ah. Hopefully some ppl will think of it as a confusing little challenge.

[Bust A Balloon]

You've got an alright idea, but losing a life when the ball hits the ceiling, rather than it bouncing off, is a pretty fatal flaw - makes the game much shorter and much more luck based than it should be.

Highest score I got was 20 BTW.

ALewis36 responds:

Sorry about that

[guide the creatures]

...you suffering from a stroke there, Jard? Your Author Comments are fucking mangled.

ZabuJard responds:

u just need to protect the little creaturessssss

[Coin Chase]

The base idea is pretty entertaining, but a combo of no arrow-key controls and slippery physics make this pretty awkward to play

Pappyto responds:

Thanks for letting me know, I'll add arrow keys and reduce the slippery controls

[Nefarius - The Last Wizard (Updated)]

A basic, but pretty damn fun prototype. Gonna give particular praise to the slimes' distinctive blue colour - makes them very easy to identify, even with my glasses off (given I'm practically blind without' em, that's impressive).

Does seem that staff upgrades persist between runs - unsure if that's a bug or not.

Snow-Hex responds:

Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad to hear that you liked the little that is currently available haha
