Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[[REVIVE]]

Nice game. The graphics are crisp and pixelish, and the game itself is easy to play, with dead simple controls and clear level layouts, though it does get more challenging as it goes along. Wall and background textures have some interesting patterns, and overall it feels very retro and crispy, all with custom sprites too, I like games like this. The oldskool music fits right in . Nice work!

[Territory War 3]

Fainlly! The wait is over! The game is here! I haven't played the Territory War series in ages, but when I did play the previous versions there was a lot of playing involved. Looks like perfection compared to the previous releases. The interface is slick, the cutscenes are smooth and effectual, and the game itself is on a completely different level than the old ones. There are tons of weapons, and the explosions/effects are awesome... still had to go with the sticks though, huh? They really stand out in their simplicity amongst the rest of the amazing design, but at the same time, it's a batch of nostalgia.

Can't think of any possible improvements to this, except maybe integrating this with the NG Passport instead of the XGen Account System, feels like a bit of a letdown that the full version isn't actually hosted at NG. Otherwise, it's a great game. Nice work!

Afro-Ninja responds:

thanks, glad you can see the work that was put into this!
the passport system is rather new and I've been working with xgen over the past two years to develop this, there wasn't much room for changing such an integral feature of the game.

[Monster Legions]

Interesting mixture between card game and real action. The interface is a bit complex at the start, but after a while it does seem efficient. Graphics are smooth and shady, the sounds is good, and the gameplay is both simple and strategic. Good game!

[Band Of Heroes]

Nice. It's not a sprite game, but the graphics are remnisent of old sprite RPGs, though they're much smoother. The layout of the game is nostalgic though, and the interface is as shiny as it should be in RPGs! Nice work on cutscenes, and as for gameplay... it wasn't what I expected. Running forward, shooting automatically, gathering coins and weaving through enemies, that's certainly a change from the traditional, and it works well. Fun game!

[Bubble Sky]

This is a fun game, so smooth and simple. The ballon physics make them seem so easily poppable, and the popping effects when you do hit is a nice one, soft and ambient, it's a traditional concept with a new theme, and one that's a lot more harmonious than the regular ones. It's a bit dimensional as well with the ball of balloons instead of just a wall. Nice work!

[Star Glaive]

Sounds like a realistic situation. Earth has never had a very good interstellar defense. :) I like the spacy techno music in the game, reminds me of some space venture I've seen somewhere. Also nice how the game pauses automatically as soon as you focus on an area outside the flash, that's useful.

The two control options, pro and simple, is a nice selection, and the concept of catching enemy ammunition with your shield is pretty neat. The gameplay itself is smooth and simple, and I like the sprite style used, it's a lot of fun. Keep it going!

[-ESCAPE-]

This is a somewhat emotional point and click puzzle adventure. The gameplay is simple, all events triggered by mouse, and the locations and items are many and varied. The cut scenes that occasionally kick in give the story a boost of life, and it's really an experience to watch. Nice work!

[Item Tetris]

I had to switch browser and use an old version of Flash to play this, as it doesn't support version 11 (it appears). I'm surprised nobody else seems to have had any trouble with it, but then again all reviews are a few years old, I guess it requires an update!

As for the game itself, it's simple fun. The idea of using regular objects instead of the tradition blocks is nice variation, and they all fit together too, it's not just a puzzle-it-up experience but more of a see-whats-next. :) Good graphics, and good controls, it's a good game! Keep it going.

[Putt It In! Garden Park]

Nice. This is a smooth and easy game to play. I like the fact that all backgrunds, characters, etc, are drawn outside Flash, three-dimensionally, it creates a really realistic atmosphere. Even the movements seem real. The interface is as simple as it can get, and though the game doesn't really need instructions, there are those too. There are also plenty of included courses, ambient background sound and an easy meter for putting. Nice work!

[Oroboros]

Classic hack and slash indeed! Apart from a likable main character, the controls couldn't be simpler, the gameplay couldn't be smoother. With games like this, it feels like Golden Axe might soon stop being a favorite. Great variation in backgrounds, effects and foes. Looks like there's a lot of content in this game. Keep it going!
