BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[Kill Lola Bunny]

A pretty solid throwback to '00s-era Flash - gratuitous violence and all.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

AS IT SHOULD BE

["Loss" Collab!]

Its a large-scale kind of LOSS

Exlhk responds:

Mass Loss

[Balloon Collector]

Pretty good all around, and kept me entertained for a while.

My main complaint's the net's hitbox - it feels annoyingly small, and I've had it fail to catch balloons i swear I actually hit.

chaoticc-neutral responds:

thanks for playing and feedback

[Deaht Scrolls]

A solid demo with a pretty clever death-based gimmick.

Icelogist responds:

Thanks

[The New Internet]

I gotta say, this absolutely feels rushed. Its a barebones idea, which IMO doesn't have anything interesting going for it.

The BGM's pretty good, though - it'd definitely work for a Silent Hill type horror game.

TheAuspiciousCygnus responds:

That's more than fair. I'm still learning and I'm glad you liked the song. I'll use it in something decent in the future and thank you for the feed back.

[Cubsey The Platformer]

The artstyle was perfectly fine, and the music was pretty good, but I felt the gameplay was pretty deeply flawed.

The biggest thing I'd recommend is to avoid jerking the camera upwards during jumps - it feels disorienting and makes precision platforming a lot harder than it needs to be.

I did also notice a pretty major delay between jumping/running into spikes and the relevant sound effect playing. I didn't quite notice it at first, but when I did, it became pretty grating.

Still, you've clearly got potential. Keep at it. (Happy Pixel Day as well, BTW.)

Potato-Boy-34 responds:

I immediately started fixing it when I saw it on Reddit. The camera is fixed, and I even changed some stuff in the game. It's my first time making a platformer game.

[ABYZ]

There's a pretty good atmosphere here and a solid idea, but the controls really drag this down.

Using the arrow keys to attack is pretty confusing.

EDIT: Using Z,X and C to attack, and the arrow keys to move, would be better for me,though I'd also recommend adding the ability to rebind keys.

finne432 responds:

Good point, which keys do you think would be best as another control option?

edit: I won't be able to have remappable controls in the program I'm using, but I can definitely include an alternate opion for Z, X, and C + arrow controls.
