Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mineral Rush]

After about an hour of gameplay, I still haven't picked up a single sapphire! Overall this is a fun game, but it feels like the gameplay is a bit flawed. The rare minerals seem to be way too hard to get, unless they become available only in the final mine (I didn't reach that one)? Buying coal and selling the smolten blocks is a time-consuming task when you're up in the hundreds, it would be nice with an option to either buy in bulk or type in the number of items you want to buy. The upgrades are a bit misleading, in how each upgrade increases your number. You wouldn't really be able to wear five golden armors, and swords, and axes. It took a while before I figured out that you could buy more than one of each, and that you don't need to save up ore to buy gold items since everything is an increase in the number anyway. Also, there should be some kind of warning before yu die, something more noticeable. It does say you should keep an eye on the health meter, but after a lot of digging the task gets so mundane it's easy to forget about. Overall though, this was a lot of fun. I was expecting something like Motherload but it turns out it was completely different. Hope this will be improved upon; I don't mind if save games are lost in the editing process. Seeing as their easy to lose now, by mistake, or by carelessness, it might not be that big a deal. Keep it going!

Thanks for commenting. I will release a patch very soon now, that makes dragonstone and sapphire more common, (along with alot of different stuff) I agree that it doesn't make sense to stack up on the same tools, but I think that's how the game is supposed to work. I could re-name everything so you would buy extra miners and guards. But meh.
My attempt on making the health noticable is to change the color on the health when it's getting low. I will add an extra warning.

[Quantum Corps]

One of the more intense games I've played in a while!I don't know if it's the proximity of the X and C buttons that makes me accidentally change gravity while I'm shooting, or whatever it is, but the levels were way harder than I anticipated. Maybe there's some kind of strategy you develop after a while. I love the idea though, and the pace. It's a real speedrun, and plenty of explosions, and pixel graphics I love. True arcade. Keep it going!

[Castle Guard 2]

Another defense game! I do appreciate the change of style though, the move from just regular idle click-and-attack to more of a TD approach. Would be nice with a step-by-step introduction of the playing field instead of everything at once, but either way, it's a fun game. Keep it going!

[Hit the Troll Level Pack]

Ha, loved the original, and it's the same thing with this! The idea of combining the classic arcade/puzzle physics genre with the faces of trolls was just great, lotta fun, and these levels take it a step further. Nice work!

[Hide Caesar Level Pack]

Another great physics/puzzle game! I've played a few similar hide-random-inanimate-character games earlier, so the concept definately isn't new, but the levels are. All of them a lot of fun, keep up the good work!

[Pico's School DX]

Awesome. Just awesome. I honestly don't remember exactly how the first game went, should probably play that again some time, but this did bring back a lot of memories. And even without the memories, it's a great game! Combined creativitiy and fun, with a much smoother interface than the first game. The dialog is smooth, the action is smooth... everything's just so... smooth. Truly a classic brought into the twentyfirst century, though it is a shame that medal unlocking medal in another game didn't make it. Nice work!

[The Brick With Antlers]

I suppose jumps are low since the main character is a brick? :P It was a fun journey though, short and simple. Would've been nice with 995 levels to fill the gaps between the first few and the sudden finale, but either way, fun game. The music adds a lot to it, too, without that it wouldn't have much atmosphere. Keep it going!

[The King's League Odyssey]

Nice game. I like the ease with which you can skip cutscenes and dialog, and the easy tutorial that brings you right into the game. The interface is sleek, the graphics smooth and the game itself is a unique mix of strategy and action. Nice work!
