Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[2nd Cycle]

That set of falling blocks was one challenging stage! Almost gave up for a while there (I think certain lag might have impacted my performance too), but I'm glad I persevered! In the end, it's an inspiring venture. You jump to the moon! And on the moon, for some strange reason you can't jump so high? ;) I like the symbolism at the end... whatever it all means. If it's a literal rebirth, or a transcending your skills, honing your craft till your really learn to fly, or... running so much, until you realize you were just buzzing around, when you really should've slowed down and and smelled the flowers so to speak? Stayed grounded. :) Great game!

[-Space Fighter-]

Yeah! Now this is how space-shooters should be! What an awesome game! Short, fast-paced, with two types of levels/enemies (each one requiring different strategy), and one boss, and no complications. It took just a couple tries to get the full score, but it feels greatly satisfying. The action, control and soundtrack is flawless, and I love the crisp pixel style too.

One refreshing aspect about this game is how you have to time your shots, rather than just mash or hold the button to easily annihilate everything in your path, and the precision seems to make it all the more rewarding. Great game!

[Marshmallow Smash!]

Not bad for a 48 hour game! Always impressive to see what creative pieces Ludum Dae sparks. Though I do wonder,why Marshmallows? How did this particular idea come to fruition? :P Game both works and looks good, even if it's pretty basic. Fun for a while, but not that much re-playability IMO. Any more Ludum Dares you've been in?

idk, I just drew something and it became a marshmallow ^^

[Cloud Wars SnowFall]

Simple; addicting fun! Also glad the pace isn't all too hectic in this one, feels like a more leisurely version of all these cloud war games. Upgrades work well, levels are balanced in difficulty, and that daily challenge thing (wonder if that's random, or pre-planned?) is a fun addition. Would've been cool with an in-game stats screen btw, and highscores for all variables, seems a bit strange there's no count on rain upgrades, or green and orange, even though the others are there? Also, where's the snow?! Considering the title I was assuming it'd have a more prominent part in the gameplay.

Overall it was great fun though, not too long; not to difficult. Keep up the good work!

[CTW - The Hunt For Gifts]

Nice effects with the Christmas lights at the end! Would've been cool with more atmospheric lighting in the game, maybe some opacity on snowflakes, etc. The very zoomed-in level layout makes it feel like you don't really know where you're going as well, and controls are pretty wonky, especially climbing surfaces, where you can't walk but rather have to jump in lots of tiny steps to get somewhere. Sliding down is no easier! It was a fun; simple adventure overall, but with smoother controls it'd be so much better. Keep it going; Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much! Happy holidays!

[Traffic Rush]

Simple fun. :) Not the most fluent or challenging control, but it's pretty easy and addicting. Good touch with the highscores too.

haha, thank you for reviewing pretty much all of my newgrounds content, I got really suprised when I saw 11 new interactions. But as you might have seen most of my content was made a long time ago, so I (try to) make better content nowadays ^^

[a game about happiness]

lol, such a random thing! XD Looks a bit crappy at a first glance, but it did get me in a good mood! Just something about that happy expression, and if you move choppily it looks like your dancing. Fun little game! Could be expanded on, have some more professional music, rythm-based control etc, for a simple thing it was surprising fun.
