DanielIsAlive's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wallpaper 2.0 Collab]

wllppr

But seriously, very nice designs everyone contributed, real newgroundscore (I'm sure that's already a thing and if it's not make it one)

SullyGuille responds:

Yeah, let's make Newgroundscore a thing!

[It Says to Wait]

I really like this game for its unexpected ominousness. It's interesting enough to keep you wanting to figure out how it works, but not in a frustrating and arbitrary "where the fuck do I go" kind of way. Pretty sure I ran into a bug though, since I ended up opening the door after some time, but now it's stuck at the text "is it done". It also keeps making the door squeaking sound when I scroll away from the screen (as in down to the comments)

Edit: I don't know how the divergence happens, but I'm pretty sure I got all three endings now. I got the complete wait ending twice, but I didn't get either medals for getting it or doing it without drinking. The first time one of the scripted shadows disrupted the ending scene, but I don't know why it didn't trigger the second time. Still, solid game overall.

Edit edit: All right, the complete wait ending triggered the third time now! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that secret you mentioned. Looking forwards to your other stuff!

TheGorondorf responds:

Thanks for the kind words! I'll try to fix those bugs you said (some of them I swear I don't even know how can they trigger when I made specific things like that to not happen in the first place, but that's video games for you lol).

I think I should correct myself and say that one of the "endings" is not part of the final moments of the game. Wink wink

[Trivial Guesser: Video Game Releases]

Not bad. Like Magnus commented, some technical issues so you need to wait or revisit a category to load a question. I think I also ran into a problem with the medals, since the 5 answer one didn't unlock for me either. I was logged in and made a screenshot of the score to be safe. Maybe an api issue?

Edit: Checked it again and it works now! Thanks!

TeamTrivial responds:

Sorry about those issues!

With a just pushed update you should be able to load up the main screen of the game and unlock medals after 2-3 seconds. If not, please check the stats page and see what's shown there.

Will be checking into other issues as well.

[DEAD DETENTION #1 (Rescribbled)]

Now here's something I wasn't expecting.

It's a pleasant surprise to see that you're remaking these. I played the original (ok like one of the mini episodes) back in 2015. The art, the writing, plus the weeb shit, made those games instant classics and timeless even now, a whole-ass decade later. Looking forwards to the next parts and full steam release, Jack!

JackAstral responds:

Thanks so much! Lots more weeb shit in the next episodes, LOL

[Homestuck FreshJamz Collab]

Great work from all the contributors as always. It really has been 15 years, hasn't it? I wasn't really around for the very beginning (I mean, who was?) but it was probably one of the first internet cultures I got genuinely invested in and saw through until the very end from elementary to like 6th grade, yet I keep forgetting about homestuck existing somehow. Surprised that there's still that much of an active fanbase. I'll take this as an excuse to reread it all over again since it ended.

(I think I've come to the sobering realization that things will never stop from keep happening constantly)

Edit: I just skimmed over the tvtropes page for HS2. Boy do I have lot of catching up to do.

Latadenata responds:

YESS!! GO REREAD IT!!! You might even have time to catch up with the new homestuck^2 updates with the new team!

[Arise: 1313]

For as short as it was, this was a pretty neat game. Felt a lot like The Consuming Shadow stylistically, maybe also some inspiration from Life Eater? I thought there would be a bit more interaction with the other patients, but I still really enjoyed it overall.

Mantis1 responds:

I haven't heard of Life Eater, but The Consuming Shadow is definitely the number one inspiration. I talked a bit about it in the Author Notes button on the main menu.

[Tales From The Arcade: Fartmania]

Great game. Played it so long newgrounds timed out on me (rip no damage run), but outside my personal failings? Cute art, engaging gameplay, riveting storyline, farting pigs, what more could you ask for? Already took a look at your other projects and honestly, I hope to see more of the same from you guys!

(also 2# yay, I'll never get over getting ranked above Tom Fulp in anything lol)

Emptygoddess responds:

Tom letting us all down. Tisk tisk.

[THE NINTENDO 64 COLLAB GALLERY]

Very nice. Collabs like these were always my favorite thing about newgrounds as a community. Already looking forwards to the next one.

(Also Happy Pico day everyone!)

CRAPPYMUSlC responds:

Happy Pico Day! :D

[Scummoner]

So this one of those "murder simulators" newgrounds is famous for?

Seriously though, this game's fun. Simple yet very entertaining. Feels like a more cutesy pixel version of the original Postal. I love it.

And like it's already been said below, it could totally expanded on with more levels/maps, in-game challenges, maybe even extra player characters with different gamestyles. But as is, it's already a great game, especially for having been made in three days. Amazing job.

CreechMagoo responds:

I think thats the plan, we're taking a brake form it for a bit but we had a ton of fun designing the level and gameplay. Definitely coming back to it and adding features, considering it was for a 72 hour game jam and wed never done something like that before, Im really happy with where we ended up!

[Windowz XP 2012 Professional]

Nice archive. Really encapsulates the essence of the early 2010s with all the randomness, edgy shitposting and half-assed parodies, all with genuine passion behind them. Really makes you nostalgic for that time, even if you weren't there to fully experience it. Kinda sad to find that I couldn't find anything on SoupSquad.com except for a domain on sale and a defunct forum. I guess you'll always have the memories, right?

Edit: Just got all the new medals. Christ, I will never look at microsoft agents the same way again.

Kolumbo responds:

Thank you! The memories live on, indeed, along with some captures over on the wayback machine
