Still working at it, bit-by-bit.

…Hey, did you record yourself playing the game *after* it was sabotaged? Yeah, this is an old file I tried as a last ditch effort to revive it and it doesn’t work. I’m currently working on either finding a dev who’ll help piece it back together or learning whatever engine it takes.
Yeah, sorry, I tried to play the game initially for the Halloween Spooktacular judging (so around early Nov) and it wasn't working, and then the recording was done very recently (late Nov) and it wasn't working (as you saw) in exactly the same way as before.
Really bummed out that I didn't get to play it in a pre-sabotage phase! But of course, that's probably nothing compared to what a bummer it is for you: sorry about how it turned out and hope you have better luck in future projects.
I was thinking of skipping it over for the video since it wasn't working, but I figured to leave it, just in case it looks different to me than it does for you and you could use that data. If you have any luck getting it up and running, feel free to hit me up and I can record a little bonus vid if you like (but of course, if you just want to move on, that's fine too).
DAMN ! i regret making the ufo section so hard, i really wanted to see your reaction to the end of my game this month lol
Haha, if it helps, I was able to beat it in like two tries post-stream: in retrospect, I had a few runs that were super close to beating it and I just didn't realize how close I was! While I do think it is a bit hard, part of it was definitely the split-attention from recording reducing my IQ a few points, so I'll take a bit of the blame. I did enjoy the ending, though, with y'all on the moon and Tom Fulp being a total boss as usual!
Thanks for mentioning my game, 9 Cam! I hope people find the game unique even if it's not in the top 10.
@FuturecopLGF Somebody else told me ahead of time what happened. All is forgiven from you - it's the one who denied the game a chance at a fair review that has attracted even more of my ire.
im new to newgrounds (and making games) but ty for checking out help me clean my room!! if we had more time in the jam i definitely would’ve added a bit more to it, but i’m still happy with how it turned out.
(who knows, maybe we’ll make a full-fledged version one day??)
Cheers! I hear ya on the jam time limitations as it must be tough, but what you were able to put together was still nice. If anything, take it as a compliment that I wanted more: just shows that I got quite intrigued by what you put together, especially due to the cute style it was rendered in!
Very good review!
I'll see if we can add in some of the changes you suggested in the map pack.
Thanks for the feature! Really appreciated getting to see your feedback in real time like this. I honestly made MATCHBOX over a couple days for a local game jam and barely tested it, so at this point it's wild to me how many people on this site have played it and commented on it. Really glad that despite all the jank in it that it resonated with you! Got a lot out of it that I'm excited to take into my next project.
Let me go get a tissue to dry my tears before watching the video ?
Haha, hopefully tears of happiness? I can understand if it's sadness since I was a little harsh on it, but man, the vibes it was putting down, the potentially cool boss fights: if it just had a bit more time in the oven to smooth everything out, this coulda been great! You definitely have a knack for these cool boss rush games and I want to see more!
You're a legend, Futurecop. <3
@Tankcraft how many?

Holy shit. I’m in a Futurecop post. This is so surreal. I look up to you for your reviews, and you actually inspired me to do a video review of the other Costume Jam entries.
I am excited and incredibly nervous to hear what you’ll say about Costume Clash. I might avoid it for days, I’m that nervous, but when I do get around to it I’ll send you back any thoughts I have.

Uh oh, you might not like how it turned out, but...
