Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[angry blue jack]

Always liked Angry Birds, and though this doesn't really compare to the original in matters of variation and physics, it's a good game! Some levels are harder than they should be though, as the rocks sometimes land o ntop of birds without even harming them, and blanks fall on top of them without really touching them, and the projectiles don't really cause as much descruction as they could. It's a fun game, and the medals are rewarding, but it would be nice with some more projectile force, some more destruction, birds that aren't so tough. :) Keep it going!

Woo, a masterpiece of addictive platformer violence, and quite different from the regular shoot em ups. This actually reminds me of one of my favorite games, Urban: The Cyborg Project, an old game that doesn't seem to work on any new computers. The plot is pretty much the same, an experiment, waking to life, going rampant, shooting up researchers and enforcement alike. Of course that game had guns, which this one didn't, but they're both just as entertaining. I like the detail of the levels, the detail of the destruction and bloodsplatter, and the cachy music, the cutscenes, the detailed cover image. It all builds up an impressive game. If only this had a few medals to encourage gameplay it would be PERFECT. Great work!

[Where's Derpy? 2]

This was simple fun. :) Together with the time limit it becomes a challenge, too, and there are plenty of levels to look for muffins in... and Derpy. :P Nice work; Happy Derpy Day!

[FFIV: the Text Advencha]

That was actually fun. The text commands were a bit confusing at first though, and not all of them can be used in all places, but just talking to the people give good clues on where and who to look and talk with/at. It was a quick adventure. This script could probably be developed into some real story, and if you do, might be better with even shorter commands, and names, lmao, make it easier to type them in. :) Nice work!

PhantomCat responds:

I was actually basing this on the Quill, so every command and noun is actually four letters, and oodles of synonyms. Instead of typing "Talk MiracleFruitClock" you could just say "yo m" or "n" for "go north"

It's a genre that died for a reason.

(and now that this was three months ago and nobody will ever read this, the parser only sees two words that are four letters long. "Go North" gets sent as "GO NORT". I used Miraclefruitclock just because he has a really long name, but you really just need to type Mira)

[Drop The Block]

That was fun. Not too challenging, and not simple enough to not be challenging at all. The only flaw of this game is that the music starts again every time you click Reset, so eventually multiple instances of the track are looping simultaneously, and that sounds a bit weird...otherwise, great game! Keep it going!

I like the layout of a game, but at the same time it feels like there is no... point. It just keeps going and going, or is there an end? The beasts are varied, the controls are simple, the graphics are nice and pixely and overall it's a both addicting and challenging venture, but it feels there's nothing to reach for. Maybe add more of a plot? Keep it going!

malec2b responds:

I wanted to keep it a simple arcadey experience, so the motivation is trying to survive as long as you can and get a high score. I didn't want to make it a story game as, with this sort of game, I think it's more effective to leave that up to the player's imagination.

[Linker]

I like the idea, and the fact that all levels are different. The physics and layouts work well, and some levels are more challenging then others where you need quick reflexes as well as logic. I guess it's more of a reflex game than a puzzle game, and I guess mine aren't that great since just normal mode is a hard task to beat. Just 5 points for normal difficulty level? Seems a bit low, but otherwise nice game!

Charcoa1 responds:

Thanks for the review! I guess normal difficulty falls prey to the fact that I've been playing it for so long; I find normal fairly easy ;)

[Indi Cannon Players Pack]

Simple and addicting, and a bit of a twisted concept the way you shoot characters to collect the coins. The controls are smooth and the backgrounds atmospheric. Even though the jungle in the background is distant, the platforms have enough vines and shrubbery to make it feel authentic. Nice game!

[Hide Snowman PP]

Not a new concept, but definately a new surrounding. The music is ambient, and the falling snowflakes as well. Each level is a peaceful puzzle, and they get progressively more difficult as well. The only thing this game is missing is medals, with some of those, it would be awesome. :) Great work!
