DanielIsAlive's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 ;-;

[Yule Duel]

Just as good as I remember from the original release. It definitely felt more like a short standalone title than a minigame. Reminded me a lot of The Day (Gregory Weir).

[Mazza Claus]

Culturally enriching. I'm still surprised that I was able to make any sense out the dialogue. It was like reading wuthering heights all over again. Merry christmas! (or whatever it's spelled in yorkshire)

Nice simpsons reference btw

Chris responds:

Mazza Claus has officially been compared to classic literature lol

[WESTERN-SHOWDOWN]

Good first entry. For being a basic quickdraw with simple graphics, it's charming and surprisingly engaging. I could be wrong but it seems that in hardcore mode, clicks sometimes don't register if you aren't clicking on the player character, at least that was my experience starting with level 3 (I read the description and it has probably something to do with firefox).

tikiworkshop responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Ill look into it with ultra-hard and see if theres any issues with it. Its sad that FireFox is dodgy, especially since Im a diehard FF user, but when I retested things on chrome and it was a lot smoother.

[Trivial Trivia: Holidays and Celebrations Vol. 2]

Fun as usual. I almost want to say the title theme didn't have to go this hard for a trivia game but it's kinda refreshing in a weird contrasting way. Not sure whether you took my input from the flag guesser but I was glad to find some of the countries I wanted to see in these. I liked the new endless mode, definitely felt more like a challenge.
A couple of errors I found:
-There's a misspelling in the All Saint's question for the German states ("Saaarland" instead of "Saarland")
-The Australian pack has a question about Bastille Day
-Also in the Australian pack, the Bounty Day question is bugged and the wrong answers are all "undefined" while the correct one doesn't read anything at all

I'm still a bit hungover so I may have missed something but for what it's worth I actually went out learning some more random trivia. Happy holidays!

[Golden Tower]

Boy, this certainly is a blast from the past. Nice artstyle and character redesigns. I actually remember the original release of the stella series on toons in 2014 just after halloween. And man, even if it was short, I really enjoyed the combat. Definitely played angry birds epic before it got pulled.

[Tankmas ADVENTure 2024]

Tis the season again LETS GOOOOO-
But really, I was genuinely worried that tankmas wasn't a thing anymore. So glad I was wrong.
Let merry times be upon us

[Kill the Turkey]

Straight out of 2007. There's some weird issue with the buttons to the raygun and soul steal option where it just seems to restart without a kill? Other than that, a nice little throwback game. Congrats on the daily 4th.

CalamityGanon responds:

Thanks! I've actually been aware about the glitch with those two options. They only seem to work half the time, I've been trying to fix it along with one of the secret medals.
Thank you! I was really trying to nail the early Newgrounds feel.
