Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[D.O.E.S]

Too addicting... but also too time-consuming! A few gameplays and entertaining experiences (First Aid Kit! U had no idea what to do with the things inside - so U ate the gauze. lmao) later I'm still no closer to winning when I started. Discovering that you could distribute the Power Ups! as stat points was a neat revelation though, and once attack increases it gets much easier to beat the bad guys, even if they have this unfair advantage that even if you don't even tough them - you still suffer damage! I love the idea, but I wish it didn't take so long to... get nowhere. With a smaller board or fewer 'items' to grab I'm thinking it could be more fun. Nice work though! Also, nice idea with that sound check gadget with links to all downloadable samples, fun little detail!

Surn responds:

Glad you enjoyed the game, despite it's unfairness. I know it's frustrating when games make you spend relatively - large amounts of time only to flip the table.

[Super Rad Awesome]

Love the music, the medals, the fact that half the poster covers around half the width so you can easily scroll up and down either half, but most of all that artwork! So incredibly detailed and entertaining! I don't recognize have the superheroes and/or villains portrayed, but their all depicted in unveiled pixel glory. Was stuck on 042 for the longest time, but mousing over most noteworthy characters was a breeze, and what a rewarding feeling getting medal after medal for such a simple task! Nice work!

Btw, had to click the Twitter link twice to get the Everything medal, first time the medal unlocked on the page, but not the achievement in-game.

Simple platformer puzzle pixel games like this might be the type I like the best, great graphics, subtle music, smooth and rewarding gameplay... all that could improve would be medals (via the NG API) to eternalize those rewards! ;) Nice work!

[Saccharine: a sim date]

A work of art! All the drawings - soft subtle and atmospheric, the dialog - at times contemplative, at times entertaining, simple RPG-like actions through which you progress (though an inventory filled sweets is far from the atypical RPG inventory :P), and the story a larger motive than all short-hand goals. Seemed like a game aimed entirely at girls at first, but it's got something for everyone. Nice work!

[Hockey Dad]

Haha, gotta love that booming voice in the background! It's a pretty basic fight, but good fun, intro cutscene and everything. Though could there be some... reference here I'm missing? Keep it going!

Aprime responds:

Haha great! Always nice to get a comment from CD :)

[Minecraft Endless Runner]

Not a bad runner game! I like that you can toggle your speed too, good to slow down before certain uncertain obstacles, or speed up for a high-score. Music feels a bit ambient for a runner game though, where you run, you know? :P Feels like music for a stroll/RPG type game. Anyway, the part of the game I like less is how your progress seems to be determined entirely by luck. Eventually a ghost and a creeper, or two, all appear in a group where it's just not possible to jump over them.... so getting to 10k feels pretty difficult. I do like that it's not one of those endless runners though, doesn't take so long to get a high score that you're not motivated enough to try again, at least a few times. Nice work!

Kandonian responds:

The music is just Minecraft music but in the future I'd love to get some music made for the game. As for the luck factor, I am looking into making it so that it wont do that if possible. The 10k Medal is going to change to 5k soon which is more possible once I add in the less luck based system.

Thanks for the feedback though!

[Snowman Slide]

I got em all! :D Didn't think I ever would since last time it seemed like an impossible task, reached a dead end with one of the latter levels and there it stopped... but all of a sudden I can SEE the patterns, I can find the paths even before I navigate them, I can avoid the treacherous loops and water pools with just a little forethought!! Or maybe I just got an easier set of levels, who knows. I assume the levels aren't actually random btw, but selected randomly from a set? If they really are random it'd be an incredible AI! Great game.

Zanzlanz responds:

Haha no they are completely randomly generated :) They're always different each time anyone plays. It generates later levels while you play so you never see a loading screen. <3

But hey man, amazing job beating the game! You rock! And yes, eventually you start being able to visualize all the routes and it almost becomes a strategic endeavor! :D

[Road Of Fury 2]

I remember playing the first one, a grand mesh of cars and heavy weaponry, one long non-stop drive-by with some entertaining story mixed in. So glad you added medals to this one, they really make it a reward to beat!

One bit annoying aspect of the game: it started to lag heavily after a while, even with Quality switched down to low. Eventually I started to restart the browser every 20-30 minutes as the lag just built up, and I assume even with this process the game took me a lot longer to beat than it was supposed to, grinding started feeling unnecessarily monotone, levels long and variationless... would've been neat with some in-game option to maybe remove certain resource-intense graphics/animations (like the smoke trail on rockets, small explosions, etc) to keep things playable for those of us who apparently don't have a new enough computer. Gamewise, it was awesome! Love action and car games, so it's the perfect combo. Keep it going!
