BlueMonday1984's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[KNIGHT QUEST DRAGON III (epic)]

The visuals felt like I took a time machine back to my childhood. The 2D platformer style reminds me more of the Flash games I grew up with, rather than the PS1-era platformers of the time, but it does a good job inspiring nostalgia nonetheless.

The goblin's nonchalant oneshotting of the knight caught me off guard and cracked me up pretty hard. I'm also dying to know what the "secret third option" was.

FunkyPepe responds:

haha its a secret!

[The Hullabaloo 3!]

This felt like a circa '93 ketamine fever dream. Its like a a Net Yaroze had a nightmare.
I'm still pretty impressed with this low-poly experiment, though - you've got the 5th-gen 3D style down pat.

jthrash responds:

Thank you. When I imitate the 5th console generation (N64/PS1/Saturn), my specific influences include Rayman 2 and Tonic Trouble. I was a smidge worried that the 1K textures I used might break the illusion (PS1 textures were often 128x128 pixels while N64 textures were often even lower at 32x32 pixels), but I guess it still looks fine as sort of a pre-rendered cutscene from that era.

And yes, the nightmare vibes were 100% intentional, especially with the background music being a combination of inane singing, hysterical crying and my best impression of a turtle climaxing after intercourse.

EDIT: Oh, and the sirens at the end were off course inspired by the sirens that played at the end of major boss fights in the original Silent Hill for PS1. Definitely adds to the creep factor.

[Everything You Know is Wrong (Hexacat)]

Hexacat took a lot more than a papercut, from what I've seen.
This feels like a throwback to '00s-era flash - congrats on 1K subs!

[The Little Wizard micro-film]

"It's wizard time, motherfucker! Fireball!"

Nice work on the fire effects, fist-shaped 'ball itself and the explosion - it all gave the fireball a *lot* of oomph.

[Edd drinks a soda]

Pretty alright Eddsworld imitation from what I can tell - now just come up with a solid episode idea and you'll have yourself a pretty nice watch.
Welcome to Newgrounds, I can see plenty of potential in you.

(Quick sidenote: The BGM's coming exclusively out my right ear when I watch this - I think you might've made an error in the audio.)

FroggoCookies responds:

aw thank you!! im doing that rn currently <33

Also, Idk if i made a mistake or not.. it sounds pretty normal to me, I think it's just not meant to be heard thru earphones thats all

[KIng Of Fighters 30 Years]

A solidly done MV for a banger franchise's 30th anniversary.
You got a lot out of the sprites - nicely done.

[Paperland Shorts: Telepathy]

A gory death here, an okay pun there. Nothing special, but still pretty solid.

[Bob takes Ella on a date (My Ghost friend parody)]

These characters are complete dumpster fires and I love them
Pitch-black and funny as hell throughout. The final punchline did a good job bookending this anim - seems that ghost girl got creeped out a lot more from the "tutorials" than I anticipated.

[Hello Kitty Time! (Lemonade Time!)]

This was pretty damn cute all the way up until Hello Kitty got a gun pulled on her.
Then it turned funny as hell.

[[SNES]]

I don't remember the SNES (born in 2000), but this is still pretty cute.
Loop of the spinning SNES in the opening obviously doesn't do a full spin, but Pen's bouncy dance moves were pretty cool.

StarryPen responds:

Yeah I kinda got lazy with the spinning snes lol
