Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sneaky Ranch]

First day at the ranch was a pretty regular ranch day! Fixing things, fetching things, phoning people... a somewhat mundane story so far, but not bad either.

[Find Sneaky The Garden]

Tending to your daily chores and finding the cat at the same time! Kind of suspect the cat appears soon as you've done everything already (and I was expecting the lawnmower to play some role, no matter how minor!), but all in all twas a fun little puzzle adventure; with really feelgood music too. Nice work!

[Alyssa's Quest]

Been too long since the last game! :D Another fun adventure in a new location, diverse and good-looking sceneries, subtle comedy and the traditional fairy-tail story... not all as creative as some of these, but a good adventure nevertheless! Looking forward to the next grand puzzle!

[Escape Area 15 Day 5]

Back in sweet spacey home again! :D Good finale, though that pig in the box feels like a lose end... why was there a pig in the box? What did the pig in the box have to do with anything? Why didn't you bring the pig in the box with you to outer space or free it and let it be about its ways? Anyway, good game.

[Escape Area 15 Day 4]

Still the same message at the end. ;) But anyway, another good segment, and we finally get to see who we're playing as too when he rides that bike! Onto the final segment...

[Escape Area 15 Day 3]

The final 'You made it out of Area 15' message seems to apply more to the prior episode! Other than good, another good segment, though you are left to wander around a bit aimlessly until you find the right puzzles to help you on your quest. More story would be good!

[The Asteroid]

Not sure if it's an issue with Flash in general or this game specifically, but playing this I ran into a pretty severe memory leak, past 25,000 points the game started freezing up, and I had to start shutting down all excess processes to keep playing - noting that the browser was using about 3GB RAM. I was up at 33,000 points and I think on the verge of getting the final medal, when it crashed! Argh! Which brings me to what I feel is a pretty large flaw in the game: that highscores aren't continually saved as you play. I consider this a flaw since it might've taken me about an hour to reach that point, and yet all progress (thankfully not the medals!) can just be canceled out like that. No save points or anything. Might not be an issue for an arcade game in general, but it feels like one with any game that consumes an excessive amount of time to reach a certain point. It could really use some failsafe there. Otherwise, I like the idea, gameplay, pretty much everything about it apart from maybe how long time it takes to get somewhere, and how you can literally keep playing forever if you just stay alert enough... and have enough RAM. I'm using FF btw, if that makes a difference.

I'll make it so that it submits your score every few minute (So if it crashes, your last score should still get on the leaderboard). Hopefully it won't cause it to lag even more.

Now about the lag, I'm not sure why it would lag so much. I made sure that not too many asteroids and ships spawn in a certain amount of time and all ships/fragments are removed once they leave the screen. I'll try to do something about the lag.

[Escape Area 15 Day 2]

Bit odd how you see a sport car in the garage before you go in, then when you're inside there's just the bike. :P Also, even without the invisibility belt... the maid/mom/person in the kitchen doesn't see you? Good episode otherwise, right balance of challenge and fun. Onto the next part!

[Escape Area 15]

Hmm seems like a new E.T. spin-off. ;) Not the way I was expecting to escape, but this way there'll definitely be potential for more problems before that final flight off to outer space again! Looks like the start of a good adventure.

[Abandoned In Ireland]

Could've had a little twist on the group of shrooms, an alternative Game Over-style ending if you pick them mushrooms instead of the key. ;) Not sure if it'd actually be fun or just annoying with such alternate dead-ends in games like these, but rare surprises, easter eggs etc, that could be cool. Overall, twas another good puzzle game is a surreal place! Nice work.
