BlueMonday1984's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pop Dot Endless]

A simple idea, with alright execution. Hit detection on those dots seems a bit wonky, though, and I never saw any need to use the change direction ability.

Eazymode responds:

Appreciate the feedback, regarding the hit detection, I found that its better to increase the hit detection since It felt a little too hard when its on the dot & sometimes even when you truly miss it looks like its bad hit detection since the paddle was moving pretty fast.

What do you think about that, would you rather have it be 100% on the dot?

[The Color Game]

Stroop Effect: The Game

A dead simple idea, executed well, leading to some good-old arcadey fun.

Aprime responds:

Perfect!

[THE COLOUR GAME]

Stroop Effect: The Game

A dead simple idea, executed well, leading to some good-old arcadey fun.

This doesn't have much added compared to its original version (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/310897) - just medals, highscores and a visual upgrade, but with a core idea this solid, that's all the game really needed.

Aprime responds:

I'll add more to it next time

[Hockey Dad]

A playable Simpsons gag with some medals on the side? Can't argue with that.

The folding chair's virtually useless due to its lengthy startup, leaving you wide open for O'Bannon to to interrupt you. If you're looking to get the medals quickly, use it once, then just jackhammer A until you win. Once you've won, click O'Bannon's corpse for "Dead Poker".

The lack of a reset button is a complaint of mine - I can sidestep it by simply using the context menu, but it would've been nice to have. The game defaulting to low quality's another gripe of mine.

Aprime responds:

But low quality helps it pixelate 😁😁

[DEAD DETENTION #4 (Rescribbled)]

Between Plot Token #7 and the boss zombie, I can see some elements from Dead Detention II bleeding into this. Quite like it - ramps up the tension a whole lot.

Really loved that twist with the inventory - loved how you took what was originally a fourth-wall breaking gag and turned it into a moment of pure terror.

Another goddamn excellent episode, overall.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks so much!! :-D

[NO TIME FOR PIZZA]

A simple, silly and surprisingly stressful little test of your ability to work under pressure. Pretty damn fun, I'd say.

Visuals are clean, with a fair bit of charm, and the overall vibe does a good job on the comedy front with a tasteful dose of horror.

EinoRuzgas responds:

THANK U

[Slime 3K Demake]

You did a damn good job squeezing a twin-stick shooter onto an original Game Boy. Impressive demake.

ArcadeHero responds:

Not really an original GB game, it's more GB-like :) Thank you so much!

[Newgrounds Wii Art Collab]

My only complaint with this is that it takes an eternity to load.
Beyond that, this was an excellent collab, loaded to the brim with wonderful art.

Fantastically done, all of you!

AlexToolStudio responds:

Probably because there a lot of goodies on here

[benny shooter game]

The gameplay itself is nothing special, but the controls are seriously borked. I kept moving by accident when I tried to fire. The lack of arrow-key controls did not help in the slightest.

bennyb48d responds:

added arrow keys good sir

[theSWARM_]

A pretty interesting top-down shooter. Whilst the camera did throw me off a bit, the real pain point for me were the shoot and speed up controls being so far apart. It also seems like I can't turn right and move backwards simultaneously - that seems like a bug.

0x0961h responds:

Thank you for playing the jam entry! :D Yeah, I didn't have enough time to make customisable controls, so they ended up being all over the place. :\
