[Trivial Trivia: OpenTDB]

Nifty as usual. Really liking the scope of trivias to choose from. Fitting background theme too.
Feel like this one is a lot more buggy than previous games though. Stats are unavailable and scores don't seem to enter the leaderboard after two tries. Since you can't seem to view questions anymore there's also not really any telling how much of a category you answered correctly. And every pack seems to have at least two bugged out questions where the right answer is listed as incorrect. Checking with the answer unlock shows as much. Purely contentwise though, it's probably the most engaging entry yet.

Neat little brainteaser with a memorable cute aesthetic. I took way too long for some puzzles, especially the final level but at the same time, I could definitely go for more.

[Button]

Gotta say, this might be my favorite of your games so far. I had a feeling there was some UFO 50 inspiration. Not sure if it's bugged, but the constant flickering and beeping of the scoreboard even after you get off the button gets annoying quick.
Gameplay, for being literally just jumping in one spot, is surprisingly addicting. Once the third upgrade sorts out the jankiness at the start, it really walks a fine line between "you do just need to balance it" and "yeah, you're going this direction now lmao". Only made getting to 99 all the more satisfying.
Once I saw the shop descriptions I already got a good idea what the ending would look like. Is time a recurring theme in these (well, three) games or is that all just coincidence?

WaspVentMan responds:

Thanks, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the game :)

and the flickering is intentional, but I might add a toggle if it’s too annoying

You do not control the flow of the button, the button controls the flow of you

The recurring theme is just a coincidence, I just have fun making a games in weird ways, literally programmed most of this one during my breaks at work

Edit: also I fucking love UFO 50, that game is amazing

[watching paint dry simulator]

Kinda funny how this isn't even the first watching paint dry game on newgrounds.

[Trash Force Demo]

Didn't know I needed a possum-themed asteroids rougelike in my life, but I sure do now.

Art is very impressive for a one week game and the music complements it perfectly. Gameplay obviously gets a little repetitive and the further you go, the more you just rely on spamming the special to clear the destructible meteors and then just dodge for the rest. Still gets to be more fun than the original and the extra section certainly give you an incentive to keep playing.

One bug I ran into. During my second playthough, it looks like the shop interface is broken and I can only buy special ammo or fuel despite all six icons appearing. It only goes to the third option which always acts like the new level button.

Edit: I see it's been update now. Boss is a nice addition but now the timer is permanently stuck after level 11 which persists into new games

[NUTBREAKER: THE GAME]

Well dang, this goes unexpectedly hard.
Tons of fun and easy to get into. It's got memorable style, incredibly smooth animation, awesome soundtrack, and just a perfect blend of shitpost humor. And you can't forget the fact that it's a game about kicking people in the gonads. God I love newgrounds.

Ran into a couple minor bugs. I randomly got a copy of the first boss drop after dying for the first time. And I somehow got Baa stuck upsidedown after performing a special attack. This was even before I toggled the option, but it did return the character to normal after disabling it.

Really can't think of any improvements, though I'd love to see more taunts and items. But as is, it's definitely very full fledged for being a short game.

ChalTheChalk responds:

Thank you very much for the long feedback! I will look into these bugs and try to fix them as soon as possible. Glad you had a fun time with the game!

[NG BBS Awards 2024]

Another year, another BBS Award entry. Keep at it through 2025 everyone.

[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!]

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!!!
