This Game Is Made Of Pure 100% Concentrated Silliness

Treasure has never actually scrapped a level once the idea was had

The best and worst of Treasure's signature jank: awesome mechanics and controls with lots of fun characters and usual Treasure hype moments, but it's blatantly unfinished and kind of a mess.
It also has one too many missions that are just terrible to get 100% completion on. The Cerberus fight and 100m dash can suck it.

Some very cool ideas that somewhat uncooked, but fun nonetheless aswell as being really charming.
Also Marina's handjob game must be crazy.

incredibly unique and captivating first episode - the characters are all very memorable, and the writing is on point. a lot of the horror is implied which can make it way more compelling. i'm very excited to see where this goes.

I can fully and freely admit that I unabashedly missed the fuckin' bus on this one. Multiple times.
Game's good. The music is good, the buttons are responsive if you set them up right, the animations are really fluid and nice to look at, so everything you expect from a free rhythm game that was Kickstarter funded and spent an extended period of it's dev time in the dark is here.
Plus, the best week is the most recent one with the original Pico's School gang. Music, cutscenes, animations, plot, it's got it fuckin' all and that's what god demands of the little redheaded psychopath with a lego brick looking pistol. It has Newgrounds slathered all over it and it's amazing.
If you're like me and ignored the hell out of actually playing FNF because the fandom surrounding it are mostly children who if they saw Pico's School in current year they'd be traumatized, you can give it a try now. It's genuinely good and don't let their fucked up cringe nature drive you away from trying it now while it's still free.

WE ARE GETTING THIS GAME, VIDEO ESSAYIST BE DAMMED. NEWGROUNDS FOREVER FUCKERS.

30/4/2024 Update (WeekEnd 1 and Erect remixes):
****
Week 8 (or WeekEnd 1) is pretty good. I like the use of the new mechanic with the spray can bombs however I wished it was used more than in only one song. Also I don't think Pico shooting the gun and him going back to his main stance is smooth enough, but Audio Bot is the boombox for this week so I guess it balances out. Music doesn't go as hard as the other weeks with the exception of the final song. That song goes hard af.The cutscenes are beautifully animated however aren't stylistically matching with the rest of the game, still had me in a big fat grin though.
The erect remixes also go hard but they kick my ass, gonna go grind them now.
Also I want them to fix the fucking freezing that can happen during songs and for them to add the WeekEnd 1 tracks to freeplay and also to FIX THE FUCKING FREEPLAY MENU ON THE DOWNLOAD VERSION IT JUST CRASHES MY PC EVERYTIME LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
This game just makes me happy. I like when I see Newgrounds stuff. Go play plz.

Signalis

This review contains spoilers
Now that I've had a bit of time to collect my thoughts about this game I still find myself struggling to put into words how exactly I felt about Signalis after beating it, I've seen my fair share of bleak settings, but I think this one takes the cake for how brutal it can be for the characters of its own universe.
It's haunting, dreadful, merciless, and it's communicated to the player extremely well through gameplay, thanks to its overwhelming atmosphere, cryptic storytelling, and how it feels like you are never truly safe from what might be lurking around the corner. And while I think it suffers a bit from its excessive backtracking, it's still worth giving a shot, specially if you enjoy puzzle games.
One thing I'm certain about once the credits rolled, is that now I understand why its fandom is so obsessed with portraying Elster and Ariane in wholesome and cutesy situations, because it's the only thing that might save them from the overbearing feeling of Existential Dread that at least my ending (Promise) left me. But at least, I can find solace in knowing that they both went out together, to a place where time doesn't exist, to a place where they can dance together to the rhythm of the music, to a place where Ariane can finish her paintings, to a place where they can both feel whole again.
