BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[They Live: The Game]

The awkward gameplay and weak-as-hell shotgun make this pretty difficult to get into, but I can still appreciate a nicely-made tribute to Rowdy.

deathink responds:

yeah, the thing is, I never meant this as an actual game. in my mind it was just fan art, like a "what if they live was a nes game". the fact that some people confuse it as a legitimate game is kind of flattering

[Da Best Gaem]

Between Nyan Cat being the main star, the bacon strip cursor, and the background appearances of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Pedobear and Hitler (🎶two of these things are not like the others🎶), you can instantly date this to the first half of the 2010s. ESPECIALLY the frivolous use of Hitler - that comes off in pretty bad taste these days.

The basic gameplay's pretty fun, though - can't exactly go wrong with having the player bob and weave through obstacles.
Would've liked to have had an autofire for the lasers - holding down this mousepad is hell on my finger.

deathink responds:

Some extra context to this game is that I made thi sover a weekend-ish, and all the features came from a twitter post where I asked for suggestion for making the worst game ever made hahah
that why it is so random, like a fart button and an mlg horn... they both do almost nothing haha

[The Exterminator]

Simple, straightforward, roach-slaughtering fun. Does feel like those roaches have pretty finicky hitboxes, though - not sure why.

Visuals are pretty solid, being essentially a hybrid of 2600-era and NES-era graphics, and the gunfire/bomb SFX was nice and snappy.

deathink responds:

this was the first game I ever really made. I actually even got it sponsored. The hitboxes are real bad. Admittedly, I didn't know what I was doing, but I learned a real lot.

[Extranatural Matters: sewer work]

Simple, but pretty damn creepy. That jumpscare got me good whilst I was fucking with the valves, and the post-death eating sounds sounded seriously disgusting.

Dreadeam responds:

yeah unfortunately there are features that for some reason don't work. But I'm glad you liked it :D!!!

[Project Ruffy]

A pretty basic, but fun little platforming test. Main major bug I noticed is that shooting the crusher/sawblades injures Ruffy.

Funny how Flash is doing so well, in spite of its official death back in 2020.

MebroukTheCat responds:

I hope It'll be better in the official release of Ruffy the Shelline.

[Dress the Spunch: Complete Edition!]

A fine enough little dress-up game - Spongebob doesn't seem too happy to be starring in it, though.

Gotta say, I like the choice of music in this.

n4lgames responds:

Thanks!

[Athena's steamworks]

Got a score of 34 first-time around.
Pretty basic, and the difficulty curve rises far too slow for my liking, but I still had a fair bit of fun.

Samburger360 responds:

Yeah, I made the difficulty increase every 10 points, but I can see that it's a bit slow 😅

[GrimeySmiley2 Snake!!]

I can appreciate using new and interesting ways to get your album out, but your album cover does *not* work as a background - looking at it gave me a headache whilst trying to play.

Slowsolid responds:

Was a 1 star really necessary though?

[Keys]

Short, sweet, and supremely surreal - feels like a playable fever dream.

unseconds responds:

thank you!!

[Nonogram Halloween]

The lack of any timer's a nice change from most of the Picross puzzlers I've seen here. Makes this real damn relaxing.

Supernova-Games responds:

Thank you! Making it as relaxing as possible really was our intention :)
