Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Well the REAL Castle Crashers might not be done but me, BoM Toons and Coaly thought it would be fun to keep the boss motivated so we made a little mini-game featuring him and the castle crashers characters, we called it Castle Crashing 'The Beard'. It was actually a ton of work... way more than any sane person would want to put into a minigame like that. But it was fun and it sort of brings back the real spirit of Newgrounds, that being the minigames that take the piss out of things.

Also unlike Tom we can gladly say we finished Castle Crashers and have the freshly shaved faces to show it. Well i cant grow facial hair yet but thats not important.

We tried to mix a newgroundsy spin on the franchise as to not totally rip the console version off so youll see newgrounds themed weapons, and loaves of bread falling from Tom's beard as inspired by Psychogoldfish's rumors. It was pretty fun to make. Took us about two weeks and I'm happy with the result.

Also its mindchamber's birthday... or atleast thats what Jonas told me, so send him mail and comment on his userpage while hes in jail! He's going to be outta there soon!

STOP READING THIS AND GO WASTE 5 MINS OF YOUR LIFE

*PS theres going to be a Pico Day Art contest that i'll be hosting popping up later this week over at the Art Forum. Keep an eye out for that! I figured not everyone has the time to do a 3-4 min animation for it but still wants to be part of the Pico Day craze atleast in some small fashion. I'll also have my usual array of unusual prizes... ie. i aint giving you all thousands of dollars sorry.

**PPS I'm on the frontpage in the animation and games section. I'm so overrated!

That game was rather enjoyable. Lasers were a bit cheap the first time round mind.

Mar. 12, 2008 | 9:13 AM WritersBlock says:

haha, cool.

Is it going to just be a pico art contest or a newgrounds day contest, to fit with this years broader range?

Mar. 12, 2008 | 9:28 AM Luis responds:

Woah wasn't expecting the game to be that good but it's programming and art is flawless, from what I see.

so absolutely awesome...

Mar. 12, 2008 | 6:18 PM WavyGravy says:

It always seems like ZekeySpaceyLizard is off-topic, and yet it fits in. What a strange character he is.

I seriously can't believe you guys came up with this game! What a NG novelty! Tom working like a madman, with his beard burlaping castle crasher, and yet here is this game, you guys created to show the on-going trifle with Tom and Castle Crasher. These are the things that makes newgrounds, so damm unique.

Mar. 12, 2008 | 6:21 PM Catoblepas says:

You were always the suckiest of the bunch.

Mar. 12, 2008 | 7:42 PM Mexifry says:

For some reason, it wouldn't let me jump. I still beat it though

Mar. 12, 2008 | 9:52 PM BigLord says:

Now I get it! Your rank is nº2, no wonder the last Castle Crasher guy had a lollypop as a Weapon! I should've known!

... I strangely like it, though.
