[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

[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. :\

[Piece by Piece (Demo)]

A pretty creative mix of a jigsaw puzzle and a platformer. Took me a bit to work out how to connect pieces together, though - seems the puzzle pieces' hit-detection(?) is a bit wonky.

Psonbre responds:

Thanks for playing ! The connections can be a bit unintuitive, mostly because two pieces can never overlap. Basically if you try to connect a piece to another one you have to make sure there’s nothing under it that would me two unconnected pieces overlap

[Skibidi Scratch Cat]

Well, there's not much to praise/criticise here - just some stock Scratch sprites and text-to-speech slapped together into a quick-and-dirty shitpost based on Skibidi Toilet.

I'll admit, I didn't find this fun or interesting in the slightest. You want my advice, try making some pixel art for your next game - you clearly know what you're doing when it comes to pixel art, and it'd be interesting to see some spritework from you.

sammybrickmin responds:

Its not that serious lil bro

[Appless' PC (DEMO)]

A pretty neat little interactive desktop - had a fair bit of fun fucking around and finding failstates.
The music for Number Game's pretty damn good, too - where'd you find it?

applessmillion responds:

Thanks for the review! For the numbers game it's actually a game I published a little bit ago. You can find it here:
