BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Peppa Pig Clicker]

Well, there's not much here to praise/critique - just an image of Peppa to click, and a "Click Here!" box that awards the game's sole secret medal...and that's about it.

Thanks for the medals, I guess?

ElRandomGMD responds:

Sorry if you disliked It, if you want, you can play another game better than this:

[Trophy Collab]

The use of a trophy dispenser was a pretty clever framing device for this collab. Choice of music was damn good too, and everyone involved put out some damn good work. (The medals are a nice bonus.)

Main major complaint is that trophies aren't saved, meaning you lose all of them when you close/refresh the tab.

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it a ton.

[Bean and Brew]

An okay enough puzzle platformer with a pretty cute artstyle.

The controls felt a bit cramped on my keyboard - allowing the player to edit the controls would have easily fixed that.

I did also have some stutters whilst playing, though they only happened the first time I started a level.

RunicPixels responds:

Thanks for feedback BlueMonday. :) It was a Ludum Dare entry made in 72 hours, we're currently looking into how far we want to take this in terms of post-jam updates. We will look into your feedback. I have conveyed your keybinding feedback to our team and we'll see if this is something for a hotfix or a bigger update.

Update: After discussing with the team, we hope to roll-out a key-binding update next week. :)

[Mohhamed-XS]

I thought for a second this might have been a genuine game.
I was wrong.

Lare responds:

It's not my fault that you're not hardcore enough to beat the game.

[reaper.doc]

Surprisingly creepy, and arguably pretty good.
There's a potentially brilliant analog horror in this, I feel.

Lare responds:

Plus it's 100% gluten free.

[Blam This Game Too!]

A major step up from the original Blam This Game, with two unique routes and a fair bit more content.

St4rryQueen responds:

This reply totally isn't a hint at a potential third game...

[The Interview Codex]

A much welcome and perennial Flash, given it provides an easy method of searching through the many, many interviews that have gone up on The Interviewer over the years.

Being sent back to page 1 after exiting an interview does complicate looking through the archive, though, as does search settings not being saved.

As of this writing, the archive only goes up to 2023 - given The-Great-One's tireless work on both The Tank Tribune and The Interviewer, I suspect he's ended up abandoning it.

ETA: Whilst scouring the Codex for the last unearned medal, I did end up discovering that searching too many interviews or opening/closing too quickly has a tendancy to cause it to freeze - ended up causing a tab freeze on Ruffle, too!

The-Great-One responds:

Abandoned? No. Forgotten and put on the back burner for too long? Yes.

[NG's 20th Anniversary Collab]

A wonderful celebration of a wonderful site's 20th anniversary.

I doubt anyone who worked on this knew the site was gonna have the resurgence it did by the end of the decade, but that only makes this all the sweeter.

Urichov responds:

I'd actually been orchestrating it for several months at the time this came out; idk about everybody else though

[NG BBS Quiz 2012]

A neat little time capsule of Newgrounds back in 2012, if not the most well-programmed.
Being able to earn more than one score-related medal at once would have been nice, as would be not having to click the textbox after entering in my answer.

(Fun fact: Like BBS Awards 2013, I found the answers for this one by decomping the game in JPEXS!)

Cyberdevil responds:

Solid critique man. :) Hadn't considered those things all, multiple score-related medals at once at least would be easy enough to code in, automatically focusing on a textbox ought be documented somewhere too, never tried that... keeping in mind for future stuff.

Just like with the last there is a public cheat sheet out there too. ;) But cool to know! Useful stuff JPEXS.

[NG BBS Awards 2013]

A neat little time capsule of an earlier age on NG.

Got all the medals on this one - ended up decompiling the game in JPEXS to find a few of the quiz answers.

Cyberdevil responds:

Hadn't heard of JPEXS before hmm, interesting... there is a medal guide for this floating around too if you Google. ;) Thanks for the review!
