The school ones may be the best ones. XD Remember getting sent to the principal's office once for just playing in an aggressive way... only time I ever did get sent to the principal, and on principle it was petrifying!

That first name story lmao! And the Mike Tyson tattoo. XD

This was a good one. Schools ain't like the used to be...

-cd-

People sure getting pretty aggressive down in the mines...

I've no idea what's really going on here, or why this Max cat would prefer a ruby over much more moldable treasure, but the animation's solid. Good-looking sounding and entertaining but confusing plot-wise...

-cd-

Oh it works!!!

Using the most frustrated sprites before the transformation too. XD

Nicely done.

What a perfectly executed and so very cool idea for a reimagination of the first DOOM level! :D The visuals are great, the mechanics are great, the art itself is fascinating - and varied, the replacement items for weapons and armor and health ditto... it could've been cool with:

1. A drunkedness factor, where overindulging on alcohol actually has some effect on gameplay, like a visual motion trail sort of effect, or more erratic and difficult controls - that gets more and more noticeable the more you consume.
2. Something for the cheese! Can't you even eat the cheese?! What a waste of good cheese...
3. Some twist with the secret painting. Like, for example, if you'd be able to view it just like all the other artistry were you intoxicated enough. ;)

That said I love everything about this, and the art's actual ART, there's substance to it too, I really like that you can zoom in on and learn more about each piece. Would've been a fun thing regardless, but that mechanic really elevates it all. I feel like I'm way more cultivated after playing this game than I was before.

Nicely done y'all.

Who knew this combination would work so well! With both controls and sounds just like the original DOOM... the graphics seem to bridge worlds, Minecraft and DOOM work interchangeably, the dungeon style reminds me of earlier FPS games too, such a good throwback.

The only thing I'm missing is the ability to switch weapons numerically, if you want to skip from first to last quicker, or just be precise with your selection.

This is addictive. Great work.

An Alien Hominid shout-out on the very first day! :D I'm liking this one already, seems more elaborate from the get-go, and both plenty of days and medals left...

Glad this is becoming a yearly tradition man! So far great stuff.

UPD: Shark one's my favorite so far. :) Final Chicken Whoop Whoop was a treat too! Good stuff. And seems there are some secret medals yet when the days are all over...

Man this was NICE! I really like the build, and how smooth the sound is, seamless transitions, always a re-occurring groove, but the tempo varies, it keeps morphing yet never really changing too much...

The only element that doesn't entirely fit in IMO are the extra strings that get added in around 1:32, and a while later. Not just the tone but their tempo and melody too, it feels like a different kind of song for a moment.

Around 3:50 the melody seems a little simpler; messier for a moment too. But for a moment, then better and better again.

Overall this is really top-notch! Impressive how captivating it is despite the runtime, love the vibe, love the psychedelic; wavy finish, and the mix is polished, just the right amount of reverb and all.

You should be proud! :D Great work.

-cd-

A little spooky, a little psychedelic, a little charming and nostalgic somehow...

Not sure about the tone on the part at the end; how high it gets, it feels almost dissonant to me, I liked it more before, but apart from that this was a really cozy little track.

Nicely done. Happy Valentine!

Well this was fun. XD Not sure how I was involved with that outro improv, but I do feel pretty good about unexpectedly being donned that grand Miley Cirus equivalent Rockabilly rebel of NewGrounds stature status here!

TY for good answers! Haven't tried Visual Studio Code, good to know. And Copilot! Who knew NG was actually somewhat running on AI already! Problems of the future today...

Vehicle calibration sounds like pretty advanced engineering too @Spadezer, very cool. On talks of air pressure Ken Block’s Climbkhana run comes to mind, where they tweaked (maybe rebuilt) the engine to handle decreasing air density as he drifted up Pikes Peak, there's so much detail in everything you'd never consider if you didn't know about it. Pens really are amazing too... conversation suddenly turned unexpectedly philosophical and pensive for a passing moment there!

That piston explanation was just perfection. XD

And going full circle with the topic of school shootings for NG's big 30 too! Excited to see what grand collaborations or other relevant commemorations this year might spawn...

Great talk y'all. Fun ep.

-cd-

Cute and cozy, nice work!

@DoctorStrongbad would probably like this! :D

This is a fun idea honestly... the doctor theme seems like a somewhat odd choice to link to reviews, but a fun contrast to the doctor-inducing level weaponry for sure, and we definitely could encourage people to review more! It still seems a somewhat undervalued and encouraged feat, when there's not even a ranking for it, icons feel like a logical next big step.

Hope we do get something like this going eventually, with these icons or others! The designs are nice too, a little whistle-inspired in the beginning at least. ;)
