Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[8-Bit Mage]

Mages and zombies huh, interesting combination of midevil and modern themes! It's a fun game overall. Plenty of upgrades. Good graphics. And you really get a sense of progression, unlike so many of these games, I like that there's a definite finality to it, not just upgrade after upgrade, pushing on and on, getting nowhere. It has a good sense of reward! Nice work.

[Hacker's Escape]

I like how that description seems like a true story at first, like it's describing the game itself, until you realize it's the game story. :) Was a pretty intriguing game, not the regular kind of click-around escapes with stereotype puzzles, but with a somewhat innovative idea. Nice puzzles!

[Blockoomz 2015]

A simple and fun puzzle platforming! All pieces play their roles, the graphics are colorful; comfortably blocky, and gameplay mechanics as smooth as they can be. Good game!

[Handball World Cup]

It's one more pretty entertaining; simple sports game! Not an incredibly unique concept, but at least I don't think it's been done with Handball before. Gameplay's smooth, graphics also; overall it's good fun. Keep it going!

[3 Pandas in Japan]

Definitely a pretty innovative venture! Feels like I've played similar puzzle platformer concepts, but the point and click approach was new. I love Pandas, I love Japan, so this was a sublime combination. Nice work on everything, from gameplay to graphics to ambient melodies in the background. Nice work!

[Iron Knight]

A pretty fast-paced and action-packed blast of sidescrolling shooting! With an intriguing story to back it up too, I like the blend of fiction; history, myth; reality. Plenty of foes, plenty of potential to vary gameplay with upgrades and other weapons. Good game!

[Dead Detention #4]

Second to last!! Wasn't expecting this series to end so abruptly! Though, who knows, maybe the final episode will be incredibly lengthy and plotwise surmount all the prequels. :P Was a fun episode as always, though some of those drawings look a bit sloppy, missing fill on one finger, outlines outside lines, etc... missed the rocket secret on the first try on this one btw, wasn't expecting it to be one of the screens you just click past as it never has in the past, so that was a nice twist. Looking forward to the next one!

[Heroes of Glory]

The graphics are the one impressive aspect of this game! From character artwork to scenery and effects, it's all amazing, but as for the game itself, it seems to move along at its own pace, with or without your involvement. Lack of control in the initial battle was, I thought, just because it was a cutscene, but it's the same for every battle. There's not so much strategy as there's upgrade/reward, and it feels like the aim the game is to get you hooked and keep progressing, not to have fun and challenge yourself while you do so. Love the visuals, but not so much the lack of freedom!

[Handy flash techniques 3!]

A tutorial for the pinnacle of all versions Flash! I think I started with MX 2004, but this is definately the one version I've spent most time on. Never did learn everything from the ground up, so browsing through here there's plenty of revelations, like differences between = and == and what that mythical vcam extension really is. All presented in a simple; entertaining manner, with plenty of examples, both animated and interactive, character, instructions that are easy and fun to follow... but the pen tool, isn't that the one you use for drawing vectors? That pretty important tool I'm starting to ponder I might be confusing with the alternative version within other programs like Fireworks and Illustrator hmm. Anyway, great tutorial! Packed more content than I'd expected.
