[Dots: Revamped! Expansion]

Very cute and polished game. Really enjoyed my first playthrough and will come back soon for Newgame+. Jimp and Waterflame being involved makes a super nostalgic Flash-game aesthetic.

[FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN']

Cool game, I love FFR! The animations are really slick.

I think the user interface needs some work though. The feedback you get when hitting arrows is not very clear - the "good", "great", etc should probably be color-coded and appear somewhere more visible on your section of the screen. The colors of the arrows also make them hard to see against the similarly colorful background - perhaps when it's your turn your side of the screen should darken or something. Finally, during the tutorial it was not immediately clear that only one player was me and I was only supposed to hit arrows on one side - I think that needs to be pointed out more clearly.

Looking forward to see what else you add to this!

Hits you right in the feels.
It combines modern walking-sim storytelling with retro graphics, which is a nice combination.
Overall my favourite part was the mood-setting background noise - that was used effectively.

My only criticism is that the 2nd half of the game felt a bit slower, and a few scenes seemed repetitive and unnecessary.

[Bunny's Cavern]

Fun game. Smooth controls. Difficulty level is very fitting for me personally.

[Ribbitation]

Very well-designed puzzle game.
I'm glad level 12 was the last one though, because I don't think I would have the patience to play more levels of that difficulty.

[Super Pixel Man Void]

I beat the game just for the medal.
But how do I get the My First Platformer medal?!
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out!

[Flail Fall]

Fun but frustrating game.
I enjoyed it, but I'm glad it ended as quickly as it did!

I appreciate the Newgrounds medals too.

> Wow, this game is really hard, and I'm only on level 2!
> Oh, there's only 4 levels!

Good mechanics and levels design though. I'd be happy to play a more fleshed out version of this.

[Economical]

I love this game. It's a very satisfying mix of platforming and puzzle action.
Not easy, but not very hard either.

I even livestreamed it!

Thank you! I watch that video. :)

[Firestarter]

It's nice to see that people still remember this anime fondly.
The guy below me clearly hasn't seen the anime if he doesn't remember this part.
