BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[DEAD DETENTION #1 (Rescribbled)]

This was a blast from start to finish, and an excellent remake.

Main complaint's the controls on the boss minigame - one button for both jumping and ducking felt pretty awkward. Moving those to different keys on keyboard/having two different buttons for touchscreen should fix that.

UPDATE: Also have a minor complaint regarding the second "Think!" and "Start a Fire!" microgames - hitting the auto-fail conditions in either leads to a bit of time being wasted, as the timer still keeps running. (Not sure if I communicated what I mean clearly enough :P)

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! Really good feedback: I’ll look into adding an option for that :-)

[PowerCubeStationBox™]

The basic idea is pretty creative, and having to manipulate the console to solve puzzles leads to a lot of brainteasing.

Main complaint's the use of A/D/Space to move - using the arrow keys would have been much less awkward.

MUNDONUEBO responds:

Thank you for playing, and for your words!
It's great to know player's impressions

Would you happen to be left-handed? For that case, at least, the arrow keys should have been included. But I also see the benefit of jumping with ↑ or W, althou, maybe, that would remove some fun cumbersomeness

[PAIN GAIN 4 EX DEMO]

A short, but unsettling demo, which left me wanting more.

jakekleiner responds:

glad to hear . the full version is on my itch io!

[Abdenour's Adventures Beta 1.4]

Visuals are alright, but the controls are nigh-unusable - clicking on an opponent is near-impossible on my touchpad, and due to the sword's low damage, killing even a zombie before it kills me is pretty much a non-option.

Having to use WASD, rather than the arrow keys, was also a pain.

Abdragon26 responds:

Yeah The Clicker Game Nead A Mouse I Have A Touchpad In My Laptop But I Buy A Mouse
Thanks Any Way
The Game Is Just A Beta

[Bug Off!]

An excellently-made and adorable rhythm game, with a gorgeous artstyle.
Main complaint is the game freezing for about a couple seconds after a stage finishes loading.

Mezix responds:

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're still updating and refining the game so we'll be sure to try and improve the performance in the near future! In the meantime, there are native Windows, Android and MacOS builds over on our itch.io page which should be more performant: https://mezix.itch.io/bug-off

[Happy Color Links Demo]

A pretty solid take on the Sokoban formula, with some nice visuals.

saadisaadi1 responds:

thank you very much, very happy that you liked it , please wishlist the game on steam that would help me alot

[REALISE]

An excellently-made music video for a banger of a punk track.
The grungey visuals fit the music pretty damn well, and the false choices given by The Salesmen really drive the song's point home.

HearsePileup responds:

Thanks! Yeah I'm not gonna lie this was a lot of effort, so it's great to hear people 'get' it!

[Skater Pro]

Controls for this are extremely stiff - there's a significant delay between pressing left/right and moving, the skater's movement is pretty abrupt, and jumping completely kills his movement.

Additionally, gameplay is virtually nonexistent - I can just click the trash can without making it across and win the game that way, trivialising the single challenge this has.

Aozted responds:

Yeah I know, a lot of bus I am trying to fix, I get it.
