Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wacky Wizard Escape: Village]

'Escape' almost seems like the wrong term with some of these. :) But another fun one. Not that difficult though...

[AreYouMadness?]

I like the idea, but feels like it could use some polish. Enemies occasionally seem to get stuck in an invincible state, the waves start instantly when you kill the last enemy - making it so you're sometimes right in the way of the new spawns, and the bullets are hard to see against the gray background/with the small size initially. Upgraded bullets are great but so slow it almost gets harder to evade certain enemies with the upgrade (like those little guys who chase you).

Design-wise it's solid, difficulty curve seems good too, just a bit too buggy and laggy to be fun all the way.

[Snowy Night Escape]

Escaped indoors for a change huh! This was a new one.

Not the most realistic but good fun. Simpler one.

[Green Gunner]

Took a while to master the jumps in particular, but overall this was a surprisingly thorough platformer, proper bossfight and everything.

Levels are atmospheric albeit a bit dark sometimes, and obstacles just the right amount of varied, takes a while to adjust to each new one you encounter. Good fun all the way, though difficulty seems to rise fast in the beginning and then plane out a bit.

[Decepticon Hero]

I love the graphics in this one, the layered backgrounds in particular, though the protagonist feels a bit clumsy to control in the face of oncoming drones, especially the ones that swoop down right at you. Seems you might be able to master the crouch there, but it's just a little awkward and monotone a control scheme overall. And the difficulty really jumps.

Overall though solid jam entry. Seems complete.

[Morph Ranger]

Contrasts and colors almost a bit too much and bright on this one, but it's another with an idea that seems to maybe have inspired others later on, if it wasn't inspired by others itself... great idea having a character that evolves as you go like this. Graphics are neat but a little limited maybe, though really just the colors that eat on the eyes a bit IMO. Solid game overall.

[Super Blue Boy Planet]

Another one of those games I'd have loved to play with medals! Love the style. Colorful, exotic and otherworldly, with good contrasts everywhere...

-cd-

[Color Shapes]

The difficulty level really rises quick with this one! Second level in and it already takes a few tries to get through the levels... great design/idea though, and I wonder if this might've been one of (or the?) first of the two-players-in-parallel kind of games here... feels pretty early.

Background colors a little distracting sometimes, but overall smooth work yet again.

[PixelNaut]

This one definitely still holds up! Just wish it had medals... sleek; minimalistic design that has me thinking of Knytt, and really smooth mechanics. Nice game.

-cd-

[Pirate Sparrow]

Like a slightly more elaborate version of the Fruits Basket one here. Not bad either, obstacle now actual enemies more so than a clock, and the graphics are pretty sleek too. Seems there's even a highscore feature, though I wonder if that's still working, doesn't seem related to the NG API...

Solid game.
