Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[We Are Legend:Arockalypse]

This is pretty awesome, probably would be the best Rock Out entry I've played so far... if it wasn't for those controls. Why the spacebar? It would be so easy if you could just tap the keys to set off the traps, instead of using a combination. I'm all for simplicity! The introduction was a bit long too, but entertaining at the same time (wouldv'e been nice with a Skip option though). I like the zombie idea. Compared to other music games like this, they're the big difference. It's not just a sleek and visual interface with good music, there's a plot; some gore too. Nice idea, but it could be easier to play (doesn't mean it shouldn't still be challenging)!

JohnnySedona responds:

This was back when Guitar Hero was at the height of its popularity, which is why it's got the Guitar Hero style controls.

BUT - If you don't like them, you don't have to use them. Go to "Settings" on the main menu and turn on "DDR Mode" for instant gratification.

Also, use the "Skip to Tutorial" and "Skip to Game" buttons in the corner of the screen to skip the intro and tutorial, respectively.

Thanks for playing!

[MegaSuper: EXTREME]

Another great Rock Out submission! I like the unstable menu layout, the steady introductory rock music, the plentiful selection of tracks available in the game and the ease with which you play. ASDF seems like the perfect set of keys, and seeing those notes burst when you hit them at the right moment is a both addicting and rewarding experience. Simple fun!

[!!THE PACER!!]

Woo, another great Rock Out entry! Apart from the odd, often clashing, color combinations on the menu buttons - the game itself was a fun experience. The tutorial explains everything with ease, and the game itself is fast-paced and varied. Would be easier to move the character around if he wasn't completely round (and the direction only shows by the line within the circle, as opposed to something that pops out of it), but apart from that... it's an overall entertaining experience. nice work!

[Super Duper Pong]

Ah, a horizontal Pong game! It's strange, probably an old habit that's hard to break, but I have a hard time aiming from side to side instead of up and down when things start speeding up. The game in itself is good, simple and flawless, but it would be even more fun with some music/sound and some better graphics (textures, scenery in the background?). I do like the ending screen though! :P Keep it going.

[The Anarchists Cookbook]

Woah, a classic collection put into Flash form! I've read this earlier as a txt file, but it's great seeing it split up in an interface like this. The buttons could be easier (with hit areas around the entire chapter text for example) but apart from that it's a great idea; plenty of good information. Nice work!

[Plasma Orchestra]

Well that was harder than I expected! At first I imagined I could make walls with movement, the way the motion trail seemed to stay in place... but it turned out that was just a frail illusion. Bumpy music, great graphics... but almost too fast gameplay. Keep it going though!

[Dunce Dunce Revolution]

Woo, another great contest entry! I usually don't like Dance Dance games, but when it's in a Flash... it's a whole new thing. Gotta love the twisted characters too, RAB FTW. Keep up the great work!

[Temple Guardian]

Nice, a simple tower defense game with plenty of upgrades and foes. It's not difficult to learn, but it's a challenge to advance. I love games like this, so keep it going! No points to improve, though it would be cool with less square grids for the battlefield.

[Gone Like The Clappers]

Another great Rock Out entry! The colorful interface is pretty neat, though I don't really like the embossed effect on the boxes, looks a bit fake somehow with the glow. As for the game, it's a pretty unique idea; plenty of fun. I like the fact it takes into use any hardware you have, must be the first game I've played that had microphone support too. Nice work!

[Alchemical Musick]

I like the idea; being able to toggle the different tracks. They all overlap nicely, so you get to listen to some good music and mess around with sounds in a fun way. It seems some layers play louder than others though, and volumes out the other layers. Still great though, and a lot of variations to chose from. Nice work!
