Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Bit Ninja]

Argh, the controls... so... difficult! I like the idea, but as soon as those dual rotating saws popped up I knew this game wouldn't be the perfect fit for me, having to jump in mid-air (wouldn't be so hard if you didn't have to click/drag to do so) is difficult, and what further complicates matters is how you automatically glide on all surfaces till you reach a wall, and how you can't bounce of walls to use the impact to your advantage. I feel like this would've been a whole lot more fun with some bouncier physics, or with arrow key controls. It's a nice idea but just a bit too aggravating for me to have the patience to finish, ultimately got stuck on level 8 and after 20-30 tries... I give up! Keep it going tho.

[Submachine 09: the Temple]

This was a pretty awesome game. The atmosphere really builds up in intensity, graphics are neat and simple, mysterious in their own but what really enforces it is the atmosphere, the sounds, the music, the dialog that pounds down on the screen Awesome experience!

[Fragile Fauna]

Really nice game! The controls are as slick as the graphics, I like the simple gradient backgrounds and the bouncy animals, the bright noise each time you collect a marble, the simple interface... all it's missing is a set of medals. NG API, how about it? This is one of those games I'd love to fully complete; they'd give the right amount of motivation. Keep up the great work!

[Doors 2: Dave's New Job]

lmao, what a crazy distorted world. I was wondering how doors in mid-air could lead somewhere, but it turns out that's not all that doesn't really make sense. It doesn't matter though, it's a superbly skewed world, and a fun challenge twisting perspectives and getting through the doors. Thanks to how everything flips and there are borders everywhere you never get a real sense of the height, but that as a whole's a lot of fun, great including cutscenes too. Controls are simple; the dialog both explanatory and entertaining. Nice work!

[The deal of the gods]

Woah, that's a pretty crazy 3D effect, it does enhance the effect of time being distorted. Nice graphics; a clever puzzle to solve. Keep it going!

[Little Drop]

Simple fun! Reminds me of all the Boxxle games I used to play as a kid, but this one had a real nice ambient atmosphere to it. The levels get progressively more and more challenging too. Nice work!

[Piggy in the Puddle]

Simple idea, cute characters, easy controls and plenty of clever variation between the levels. Twas an entertaining game! All it's missing is a bunch of medals. Keep it going!

[Shybot]

Really like the game design, the pixel graphics, the intuitive controls, simple interface, story that progresses as you move along, transitions between rooms... it's all awesome. The only thing I'm missing is more space, areas feel somewhat closed in and you don't real feel that freedom of exploration that you could feel, probably because there's always a roof above your head, always a wall one side... at least as far in as I'd played.

The darker areas on the wall tiles sometimes look like they are part of the background, so I tried walking into walls for a while at the start, maybe the borders could be clearer on some locations. But all in all it's an awesome experience; I'll be playing through it all eventually. Appreciate the save feature, the colors are a kick of nostalgia and remind me of old GB consoles... the music's catchy 8bit, it's great. Nice work!

[Jumping Ball Deluxe]

Awesome game! I was stuck on lv17 for what felt like years, but apart from that one deviously challenging levels they were all clever in moderation, just the right amount of challenge. Simple idea; an addicting experience. Keep it up!

[Hungry Little Bear]

Woo, this was a fun little game. Actually got stuck on one of the levels a while, had to resort to a walkthrough for that one level aaand I'm ashamed I did, one of those things that seems absolutely obvious once you know the answer. But I guess that means there's some clever design on these levels that forces you to sometimes think outside the box and employ new tactics. The various obstacles all serve a distinct purpose, there's plenty of movement and dynamic elements, and the physics make sense aaand I'm getting hungry. Good game!
