I thought my audio would at least get a runner-up spot, but I guess NewGrounds isn’t much suited for that kind of niche, experimental sound. Oh well

I actually had "can it please be over?" in my top picks for the month. Maybe one of these days!


Wow, thanks Tom!! I’m sure I’ll find an audience for this stuff, one of these days indeed… really glad you enjoyed the track!

I think I've lost my mind and I love it

Thank you everyone who organized and participated in collabs and events last month!

Closing Thoughts

Another top notch month in the books! Smiling Friends made two appearances in the top five movies, fitting since @psychicpebbles and @MichaelCusack just got renewed for two more seasons. We also saw a triumphant return of @Kirbopher, got a new episode in the RATBASTERDZ series, a new game in the Gappy series, a follow-up to Waha's Robot Daze and much much more to enjoy.

In May we added controller mapping for Flash games, introducing a new way to play all sorts of classic games! This mapping effort continues in the Flash Controller Mapping Crew thread.

Big internal changes rolled out throughout the month as part of our ongoing code overhaul. We’re trying to get a lot of these improvements in place before addressing the regulatory changes that are coming to the UK next month, to streamline that whole process on the back-end. If you see the site break once in a while, it’s probably all the internal changes rolling out (there were a lot this past week).

I am so so happy to see Straw Ducks win!


I'm sad that Space Racin' and SCP Dreams didn't even make the runners up though. They deserved more I think.

Congratulations to all the indie game devs for another round of great games! I was glad to have a bit of a break after last month's record-setting quantity of games: let me have some time to check out all the Steam Next Fest demos (sleep? ah, don't need it)! Of course, this month was just as exciting as any month in terms of quality, especially with the latest demo for Gappy's Adventure and a new sequel to Waha's Robot Daze!

The games that were picked for the top were great and I'm in agreement with them, but don't forget to check out some of the ones that slipped through like these and more mentioned in my news post:

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/982482
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/979114
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/978654

Anyway, can't rest for long as it's back to the grind in checking out the latest Treasure Hunt and Low Poly Day content!


Thats a lot of Indie games :D

I like to make animations :)
