Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[EMIT]

Woo, it's out! Enjoyed a second run of it, but after killing three bosses that Boss Killer medal still does not unlock. Guess I'll leave the fourth stage be till it gets fixed! Looks like I'm not the only one having trouble with it too. I like the larger menu button on the upgrades screen, easy to see and click (large hit area), but now suddenly large parts of the upgrade text is fuzzy, not just three our of four... I wonder why? Is it the way the text is rendered; does it differ on different screens/resolutions/something? As for the game itself, the levels are all packed with variation, plenty of upgrades, plenty of rewards and even some cutscenes to keep you motivated. And I like the retro aspect of it, overall it's a fun and addicting game, with the right amount of challenge too, though it would still be cool if you could move over a larger part of the screen for more than just specific boss fights, the enemies could crush you if you walk to close, maybe counter with different attacks depending on how far away you are... more work sure, but it'd make the gameplay much richer at the same time! But that set aside: it was fun to play. Nice work.

[Run Red Run]

Simple idea, yet pretty addictive gameplay. The graphics are smooth, the controls are... challenging. Nice to see old stories making a re-appearance too. Nice work!

[Amigo Pancho 4]

Simple fun! The physics are great, the levels varied; the music smooth and catchy. Plenty of variation there too, only thing this is missing is medals. Nice work!

[The Last Door - Chapter 3]

Awesome game. The pixel graphics, the eerie atmosphere, intuitive controls... it's an effectual venture through the dark on which you embark. Nice work!

[Ninja Chibi]

This was a fun game! Don't know if the music really fits the Ninja theme (it's more like Western), but it's as catchy as the game's addicting. Smooth controls and a new idea, though the name/theme reminds me a bit of the old 3 Foot Ninja series. Nice work!

[Bouncy Cat]

Man this was more difficult than I thought! First run went great but it looks like that was just lucky chance. I love the idea though, this twist on the Flappy Bird where you're constantly trying to go up instead, and evading obstacles on a vertical level. Twas fun and addicting... wonder if there'll be clones to this too. Nice work!

[Bubble Command RTS v1.1]

This was a more elaborate strategy game than I'd expected, the idea of bubbles was interesting, and I like how there's a story and characters as well as the strategic battles, all with names and settings. Steering the bubbles isn't so difficult when you can drag and select many at the same time, but how the different sizes move at different speed; how the enemy seems to move with different patters requires some strategical thinking. Simple idea; great execution. That Bubble Command logo is hella cool too.

[StoryShift]

So I read a couple of stories, voted, left, came back to read more... and my voting power is reset to 100%! The number of votes and the 'You' box on the option(s) I voted on still remain, so why is the voting power brought down? Is that a bug? Wonder how this information is saved? Does it use the NG passport or API to keep track of users? If that's the case it'd be neat with a notice about it, some 'You are logged in as ___' message maybe.

As for the game itself (if it is a game), it's awesome. I love the interface as much as the idea that the community submit; contribute to where each story leads. Only feature I'm missing is some ability to leave miniature reviews/comments on the individual writings, maybe at each point of choice... one more question btw, when a story is completed (they aren't endless are they?), are they still listed in the same interface? Is it going to split into active/archive as this grows? I'd love to contribute with some writing of my own if possible, and as such I also wonder: do authors/artists continually write their stories, or is the story already mapped out with alternate continuations from the start?

Awesome work.

That seems like a bug, tell me in a PM if you were logged in Newgrounds when you played. The voting power is saved on the server. So maybe you played logged out and created an account and then played logged in and it used your NG account. Is that possible? Let me know.

Yeah comments are coming in an update. The stories aren't endless. We',ll see how to classify them once they're done :D

The writers write as the decisions are made, the story and paths are not prewritten.

PM me if you wanna be a writer for it, I'll check your credentials and stuff
