DanielIsAlive's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Air Hockey League]

11 years later...
Good stuff. Really wasn't expecting the angle it took. The end felt like something out of lisa rpg. Looking forwards to seeing more. It's always great to see users coming back to newgrounds.

[SANTA BATTLES! (UPDATE!)]

Nice, simple and seasonal. Only problem I noticed is that since the sprite mirrors between left and right, you can't aim directly down, which makes it easier for the flying robots to reach you.

xristos responds:

Thanks!!!

[Botanica (DEMO)]

Solid demo. Strongest points are the visuals (I'm a sucker for handdrawn stuff) and soundtrack. Kinda feels like Hollow Knight meets Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. I liked the boss battles and tool selection, but combat with regular enemies felt a little lackluster. I'd definitely like to see more sidequests. Right now it looks like I can't unlock new achievements after I finished a level though.

nulledwine responds:

Thanks so much for the kind words! It took way too long to wrestle with newgrounds' medal system and for some reason it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and I have no idea how to fix it; sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for playing and I'll do some work on more interesting enemies!

[Pico & Schmuck Save Tankmas]

A story that has it all: drama, plot twists, christmas spirit, vehicular manslaughter, mass child murder, mpreg, the list goes on. GOTY material right here.

Seriously though, everything with Dr. Schmuck has captured the newgrounds feel to a T. Possibly the greatest addition to the picoverse yet.

[SCAMS_FOR_THRILLS]

I knew I recognized this game from the shroomjam stream. Congrats on getting Vinny's high approval. Pretty sure the only reason why I didn't play on itch already was the weird funko pop takedown on the day I felt like going over the submissions. Looks like this was updated since the itch release.

Fun collection of microgames with the usual addictive factor. Can't think of any wariowarelike games that have an upgrades feature. It definitely added to the overall challenge and replayability. As always, the artstyle and voice acting was on point (I'm partial to the plight of unrecognized Nigerian royalty). Also funi frogs.

[Advent Chickendar 2024]

This was certainly nice. I got a lot more references than I expected and opening each one on the respective day was actually kind of a nice thing to look forwards to. My favorite was definitely the point & click collection. [insert chicken pun]. Until next year.

[Gar-Type]

I'll be damned, Christmas came early this year.
I remember the Gar-Type videos like yesterday, thinking that an actual game would be a complete banger. And man, Lumpy just doesn't disappoint.
Might be hoping for a lot here but could this maybe mean a Sorry Jon gameboy style game?
Horrorscope?
Luigi?
Or, god forbid, Breaking Bad?
Either way, this is a great homage, whether you've played r-type or not.

[timmy christmas]

Jolly and santapilled. A very timmy christmas indeed.

[DOOM: The Gallery Experience]

We've reached the peak, people. Nothing is ever topping this. Also damn, that daisy plush ;-;
