Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bar Fly]

Nice collection of small miny games, in a somewhat real parodycal world. Not sure the feedback in all games is that great though. When you play guitar, it's not clear if you're hitting the notes right unless you really do; most games don't have much introductory explanation. I appreciate the fact you can get an overall guide to the game before starting though, and that it's also possible to skip it. That's usable. Overall there's a lot to do and explore in this game, and lots of creative fun. Nice work!

[Preloading: For Dummies]

Haha, it's a bit ironic that a tutorial on how to make preloaders actually uses the default NG preloader! Still a good tutorial though, maybe not as simple instructions as possible, but it's definitely explained at the end of it. Layout could use some more options and graphical enhancement though. Keep it going!

[Sudoku Omega]

This is pretty cool. I've always liked a morning Soduku, but this is probably the first time I've tried it in Flash. The difficulty settings are much appreciated, and the game itself is easy to play. The interface is sleek and more graphical than I'm used to, and the dial when you click on a tile works well. It's almost easier than pressing a tile and entering a number yourself, at least quicker. Good music to go with it, too. Keep it up!

[Party Pong]

Woo, another trippy pong game! I can't say the background, paddle, etc textures are all nicely synchronized and harmonious... but it's still a fun game. Simple controls; simple entertainment. Keep it going!

[Hiragana Learning Game]

As the fan of Japan that I am, this was a pleasant surprise to see. At first I was a bit disappointed there were no instructions or explanations, but it turns out that once you get a match you get both a pronunciation and translation. The options to set amount of matches, tiles and backgrounds is pretty neat (through the backgrounds seem pretty randomly selected, a bit distracting, maybe fade them a bit or use less transparent elements for the layout? I'd also appreciate bigger blocks for the different matches, so you really get a good view of the characters. Maybe an option to have the character written out if you click on it again, after getting a match? So you also know how it is usually written, which lines come first, etc. Great initiative; I hope you do more with it!

[Strange New World]

Hey, it's another great difference game! The controls are the same as always, just point and click, and it's useful that the cursor moves parallel on both sides so you can easily compare and pinpoint. The best part is definitely the art though, that's the reward for completing each level. Nice work!

[Shadmans Differences]

A Shadman difference game... I never thought I'd see the day! This was a fun change from the regular childish, usually also very simplistic, artworks you usually get from a game like this. The gameplay is simple and smooth, but the best part is really the artwork. It's a whole new world when you dive in and start looking! Nice work.

[Ballbreaker]

Another nice Breakout clone! I like the way the whole level is boxed in, feels good to have a frame around the viewable area somehow, so you know the ball can't escape... or something. One feature I'm missing is the option to click when you have a new ball, instead of it just going off automatically. Apart from that, the interface is great; the game easy to play. Nice work!

[Super Fish]

There have been plenty of these games already, but they're always just as fun. Would be cool if you could move around on a wiser/higher stage, but in a way it's easier this way, just one box to keep track of. Nice graphics, simple controls, a fun timewaster!
