[The N**gga Twister]

Somehow, I don't think this was what Chubby Checker had in mind.

[GoAnimate Cringe Compilation 2: Electric Boogaloo]

The movies were actually quite funny. The humour derives from exaggeration (e.g. millions of years of "grounded grounded grounded..."), the speech-to-text voices, and tiny characters that are supposed to represent children, among others.

The 2nd clip for example, was really confusing with the rating system, but the absurdity made it funny. The disembodied voices, not so much - it was hard to tell who was talking, so the author probably could have done better in that regard.
The third clip you showed wasn't as good in my opinion though. It lacked the absurdity, but I'm not familiar with the author's work.

I've seen a few of these GoAnimate cartoons now, and few of them seem to be made in earnest. I wouldn't consider these ones cringe.

[SQUID GAME X FNF ANIMATION MEME WITH ANKHA AND KANG SAE BYEOK - 어몽어스 오징어 게임]

The animation was quite impressive in places, and I liked some of the effects you used.

[UK Place Name Generator]

A bit basic. If I were to make some suggestions, they would be;

1) Add music
2) Get a text-to-speech generator to read out the place names.
3) Randomise more than a single string - if you were to, say, randomise a place name from two strings, you can generate many more unintentionally humourous place names from a bank of variables. For example, one of your examples was "Crackpot", and another was "Pratt's Bottom". If you randomised both halves, you could get "Crack Bottom", "Prattspot", as well as "Crackpot" and "Pratt's Bottom".
I hope that makes sense. I think with a bit more presentation and more variables, this could be a really funny game.

thank you for the suggestions, i might add them. only problem is with the text to speech people will just probably use an autoclicker to make tons of noise

[House of Tards]

I failed both minigames as Hillary (winning both as Trump), and she still managed to pull through with more votes in the debate. This game must be rigged(!)

Good game - fun to play, and well presented. I liked the minigame intermissions, especially the basket of deplorables one with the image of giant menacing Hillary looming in the background.

And it's especially refreshing to see a 2016 election themed submission Newgrounds that lays into Hillary for a change.

[Taxi INC.]

The reviewer below me said this game is very similar to the crab game, and I agree. In fact, it was the music that gave me a sense of deja vu. Sure enough, I check your games, and there's the crab game.

Same music, same layout and very similar achievements (with slight variations) - including the one where you have to purchase 40 (50 in the other one) top upgrades which get exponentially more expensive. A single upgrade from 14 to 15 taxis costs $27295.

The beauty of idle games like Cookie Clicker or Clicker Heroes is that there are more passive bonuses and further upgrades to increase the clicks per second. But with this, when I spend all of my money on a taxi upgrade, I get an exponentially smaller return. In a better designed clicker game, at this point, I'd move onto a stronger upgrade that will offer better click per second for cash spent.

This does not make for a fun clicker game. I dread to think how long it would take me to achieve the final medal, so that's where I'll stop playing.

As for the presentation, it could have done with some animation - mindlessly clicking on a taxi to simulate a taxi business is a bit unimaginative.

[Sunset Riders Stage 2: Metal]

Loved the guitar riffs.

Although metal isn't my favourite style, I still loved this piece.

[Robot fairy]

I love the sense of scale, and I love the concept, but if that is a combustion jet engine, I'd be guarding my eyebrows.

shamefuldisplay responds:

It's whatever those Jetson jetpacks work on - makes those WOOM WOOM WOOM sounds.

[[NO MORE HEROES]]

You captured the personalities of all the characters really well. My favourite is what's-his-name - the bloke with the great sword.

Malleys responds:

Death Metal :)
