Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[SQUAREball]

Well that was more elaborate a game than I imagined it to be! From the title, i thought it'd be a bit like Pong, but it turns out it was something completely different. You get a good grip on the gameplay from the tutorial though so that's no problem. The menu's are easy to use, the puzzles are... puzzling. Graphics are simple but for a puzzle game it doesn't need to be otherwise. Nice work!

[Transmigration]

A simple game, but still rather challenging. Dodging even the most simple objects is pretty difficult when it takes a while to make the turn. But it's a fun game, and great music (as always with ParagonX9). Keep up the good work!

[NG Today- Summer 2007]

The pages are... flippable? I must be doing something wrong, because I've been clicking all over the pages, dragging, pressing keys, even tabbing to see if anything's mapped out... and there's no interactivity there. What happen? The idea's good though, I miss the NG Mag since it dissipated. Keep it going!

[littleMaze]

The graphics may not be the most polished, but the game mechanics are perfect, as are the level designs. It reminds me of the dungeons in Pokemon games, but that's probably been fetched from some other puzzle games like this. It's cleverly designed with just the rigt amount of challenge, but the graphics do a lot to a game. Some backgrounds, better textures; a more usable layout would be nice. Keep it going!

[Skytunes]

Awesome work on this really airy and atmospheric game! There's a plot, there are sleek menus, and addicting gameplay for a rather unique idea. Perfect balance between strategy, response time and arcade. Keep it going!

Claytron responds:

Thankyou!! I have just recently come back from about 6 years away from NG! And I see so many reviews that make me want to get back into games and animations.

It is good to be back.
Thanks cyberdevil!

[Hippie Pong]

It's like a mixture of Pong and Breakout, the way the paddle is at the bottom/top of the screen instead of the other way around. I guess that's part of the trip? The background is definitely the second part. :) Not much to say about the game otherwise, it's simple to play, simple to win, fun for a while but... there's not that much replayability value. Maybe a toggle of different hippie backgrounds and tracks? Difficulty levels are a nice addition though. Keep it up!

[Optical Illusions Jigsaw]

Woah, what a trippy idea for a game! I've played plenty of puzzles... but with Optical Illusions! This has got to be the first. As a puzzle it's fun, and with the optical illusions it has an added aspect of... wonder. Great idea!

Thanks Cyberdevil for your great comment!

[HTML5 Snake]

Well that went quickly from beta stages to publishing. :) With the splash screens, it would've been cool with a more graphical image, a layout, background or accompanying game art aside from just the text. The game itself plays smoothly, and it's not so difficult to get a high score... at least not until the score starts climbing. Shame there's no sound, or medals, or highscores (and that they're not possible to implement yet) since they would all have made this a much more addicting and rewarding experience. But, for what it is it's flawless, a simple snake game with a couple of unique bonus features. Really great for a first game too, keep it up!

B1KMusic responds:

Oh, okay. It's in, now :)

I added it into the game by taking a screenshot of the game on pause (via canvas.toDataURL()), and using the drawImage() function to draw the screenshot underneath the pause graphic.

Thanks for your honest review and feedback, Cyberdevil :)

[Back in Time]

I played through this once to get the right ending, then once more to get the two wrong ones. :) The second time around it didn't take long at all, probably just a few minutes, but the initial adventure did take a while despite the simple setup of the game. The items are all spread out so you need to visit all locations, the plot comical and clever, the voice acting awesome. Really fun game, wish there were more simple adventures like this. Keep it going!

[Aliens Like Milk]

Another fun physics game! I like how it's divided up in three different planets, all with different forms of obstacles and progressive difficulty, even though each one is easier at the beginning. The stars are a fair challenge to get, but not so much it gets aggrevating. Good sound, good graphics, good controls... the only thing that's bugging me are the extensive transitions each time I restart a level. That should be quicker. Keep it going!
