Please circle back when things are less crazy and add checkpoints. This has really good "Chip's Challenge" vibes and I love the ghost girl.

Grent responds:

Des had a lot of fun designing her and I had a blast writing her, so I'm glad you enjoyed her character! I'm definitely considering adding g a checkpoint system if I get some downtime in the near future; I'm sure I'll post about it if that happens.

Thanks for playing!

[MATCHBOX]

A nice atmospherically Lovecraftian interactive short. To me, it's a welcome entry to the spooktacular.

I see this is your first game on NG. Welcome!

WURMxFUD responds:

Hey, thank you! Looking forward to posting many more.

[Hauling Ass]

A veritable cornucolonoscopy of fun!

[Marelza's Cauldron]

This is a really good minimalistic single screen arcade game.

The aesthetic is super cute and the flicky mechanic (and a good ol' pinball style multiplier) really do encourage you to move through the space in interesting and strategic ways.

There is some awkwardness such as the controls (I know they are somewhat intentionally floaty, but still) and the fact that since you can't shoot while invincible you're actually somewhat more vulnerable. Still, other decisions contribute well to the feel of the game such as the fact that the space loops but shots can't cross the screen barrier.

I know you're probably trying to ape the "black box" era of NES games, but even so a cuter title screen would be great. This nice little Halloween game deserves it!

Words fail.

[Tomato Clicker]

I love the tone here, one of the best clickers on the site.

[How to Paint a Wall with Pappy and Goober]

Great series!

[Vital Link Ch.1 (Part 1)]

Really like the clever use of the medium in the "title" sequence and the general cinematic feel of the opening. Keep going!

Finn-dHope responds:

Thank you, it really means a lot. The tool you provided to the community worked like a charm, I'll definitly be using it in future uploads.

[How to Make Bread with Gran and Goober]

I love the style. The hands especially are +5.

[CypherGrid]

I like adding a meta element to picross and the QT events and overall presentation. Nice little diversion. Don't listen to the anti-boob incels, the bounce is nice.
