Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pong Upgrade]

I like the idea, though the game itself feels a bit imbalanced! Even from the first level the 'boss' moves faster than you, and seems to catch up to the ball with ease even when it bounces off the square in the middle, whereas the player has a hard time catching it if it goes the wrong way. I also wish you could catch the ball with the corner of your paddle to have it bounce the other way and hopefully surprise the AI. Graphically it´s a bit limited too, though the style does go well with the classic Pong games, so if that's intentional I can see the intention. :)

I like the idea, and the upgrades, but feels like either the AI is a bit too good, or it takes a bit too much grind to start playing against it, even at the very first stage. Good idea, though, and thanks for fixing the bug!

Thanks for the long review :)

To be honest levels from 1-4 can be beaten without any upgrade. You must find the right position and time to launch the ball. But uploaded a little easier version, bonus speed, Mr.white size smaller and death bonus now 5$ instead of 3$.

I hope it will be more enjoyable now :)

[hi no homo]

Is it even possible to accomplish a normal ordinary everyday handshake here? XD Also noticing the addiction factor here. Awkward, silly; instantly entertaining. Physics work perfectly too. Unlimited re-playability.

[Endless Blocky]

Argh, those red spikes!! At first it seemed impossible to reach even a hundred... but practice does make perfect. Suddenly I was over the seemingly incredibly hard 'easy' score and striving onward... though it does feel the random factor's a bit imbalanced sometimes, resulting in a large amount of really short platforms, with spikes, with long distances between them. All the other elements are OK, but those spikes... good game though. A bit aggravating, but addicting too. Simple and smooth gameplay.

[Hen Trivia Quiz]

A small, somewhat topic-limited but enjoyable quiz. :) Highscores table, maybe? Good fun.

[The Button (My Take)]

Nice twist on an old classic. :) Feels like it's been way too long since someone made one of these, though back in the day it was way too often. Good piece of nostalgia; smooth work with the buttons! Couldn't tab-shift the final one either, took some effort to find. Good game!

[Epic Sheep-Jumper]

Not sure I'd class this as 'epic', but it was a fun little game! Until the sheeps run out, at least, after that it's a bit of a monotone stretch gathering the required points for the two medals. Easy but eventless. It's simple fun at first, but could use a little more polish; fixing up! Keep it going!

[Mutant Snake]

Once those spikes start coming out the challenge level rises considerably! Doesn't matter how many lives you collect, once you get stuck it's over, which seems to defeat the purpose of that particular upgrade. But it really is a pretty addictive again, easy to keep starting over and over, and I like the idea. Simple new, with intuitive controls and pretty catchy/atmospheric music in the background. Nice work!

[Click to Live]

Considering you don't really click anything the title feels pretty misleading! Idea's not bad though, an Asteroid spin-off that relies more on avoidal than fast shooting, and it takes some strategy to hit the right bombs at the right moments. Fun, and easy to replay, but do wish those highscores were saved! Via the API. Would be a whole other motivation if you could compete against friends; save your rankings for all eternity. Keep it going!

[Stars]

Well this was a fun game. :) Simple idea, but irritably catching execution of it. I thought I'd go for the most logic approach first, by going for the middle value of whatever seemed closest, but since the amount of stars doesn't show exactly how far away you are from either one or the other that approach didn't work, better just guess at random, and then guess at random again - at an interval suitable to the number of stars that show, and then pinpoint the value either between those two guesses or to the other side of the first one... no matter how you do it all relies on luck, with makes it sometimes annoying, and sometimes rewarding! :) Though if you play long enough maybe some pattern will reveal itself. Some numbers that appear more often, a certain change in intervals between games etc... just to see if there is one, you feel like playing just a few more rounds! Twas a quick but entertaining game! Easy to replay again and again.
