Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Don't F**up Christmas]

Well that was fun. :) And aggravating... all at the same time. I love the good groove, the atmosphere and the simple tapping approach but... Flappy games are HARD! I think not knowing how long it's going to take to get to the end doesn't give me the motivation to really go for it... but good thing there was a quickly attainable medal for partial reward, at least. :) Merry Belated Christmas!

TristanMX responds:

Hey same to you! And happy new year!

The level is actually pretty small, if you get around 44 points you are in the middle of the map, the last sections just has a ton of gifts to accumulate score.

[DUNE 2 Complete Soundboard]

Didn't know there was a remake on route! Classy soundboard work here. Been too long since I saw one of these.

ELEVENT responds:

Thanks! Check out my DOOM Soundboard!

[Christmas ADVENTure 2018]

Been way too long since the last official, medal-bestowing NG Advent calender! :D Will definitely be tuning in to this one every day I remember to do so... though hopefully medals not earned this year will still be available on future Decembers? Having each new gift appear just one at a time, and being able to really walk around a bit before you open them really adds to the interactivity level here. It feels like a small little world. Looking forward to see what things are added and improved as time goes, and of course: what presents may be waiting for us...

Was thinking it'd be cool with some little easter egg if you venture behind the tree, or follow the footprints back to the edge of the screen, or try to throw a snowball at the little bunker, or interact with the dudes, or open the wrong gift (tried to do all those things but alas, nothing), or do something crazy like just walking around for a whole hour (well now maybe that one's overkill). Maybe some of these might pop up before the year's over though. :) Fingers crossed. Assuming I'll have to adjust this score with time...

So far: really cool initiative. Going to be fun counting down!

The medals will be unlockable for future years yep.

And don't tell anyone but there is gonna be some spicy stuff comin up

[Flappy Dodo]

I guess that's why those birds died out, huh. :) Dubious flying ability and just so much in their way... took a while for the pillars to appear, and the mechanics are still notoriously hard considering the flapping motion, but otherwise it is a smooth game in classic Flappy Bird style. The genre's been done a lot, but not this particular bird I think... not bad. Do like the visuals too.

Kevin-Kevin responds:

Thank You!
Thats very Helpful!

[PicoPutt]

With the name I was thinking this would have something to do with NG's official mascot! Such a misleading choice with their engine, but anyway: really good game, mascot or no. Controls are easy to get used too, visuals are smooth, levels are varied. A few ones in and it seems like a pretty addicting game.

Some kind of local multiplayer version might be nice though, or other incentive for you to compete for higher rankings (highscore table? Medals?). For what it's worth might be the best basic mini golf game I've played here so far. Not bad.

platformalist responds:

Hi Cyberdevil!

I didn't realize that Newgrounds had an official mascot! I called it PicoPutt because I made it in PICO-8, but I totally understand the confusion.

I usually include high scores in my games, but since all the levels are randomly generated, it seemed like an oddly complex challenge to tackle for such a simple game. Local multiplayer is a good idea, and not too difficult to implement with the mechanics involved. Could be fun to implement collision between two players, too. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

[Balloon VS Birds]

At least they're not intentionally trying to pop you huh. :) Fun little game, though difficult when random factors stack against you. Wondering how it'd be if birds only did damage with their beak... but as it is it is easy to play over and over, striving for a higher score. Good fun! Now all that's missing here: some official highscores to go with it. ;) Made it to 10 so far. Nice work.

idowtf responds:

thanks for playing, my friend also suggested that the damage should only be made with the beak

[Night Claw]

Traversing the night with only your cat-bound sonar hmm... this is a pretty cool concept! Gameplay doesn't feel as smooth as it might be at it's best, but fun to play, and the style's pretty interesting. Lots of modes to explore. Good key bindings. Overall a pretty solid game! Props on an original idea too.

Supernova-Games responds:

Thanks a lot for the review. Do you have an opinion on how we could make the gameplay "smoother"?

[Ruya DEMO]

Such am ambient game. :) Really enjoying the atmosphere here, and it's easy to get into too. The effects. The visuals. The occasional noise... it makes for an almost therapeutic session of gaming. Very nice. And the thing I'm most impressed with is: it's made with Unity yet it doesn't big down my computer at all!! Impressive work getting it to be as functional as it is! Very nice game so far.

MiracleTea responds:

Thank you so much! :D

[Fallout 74]

So many happy endings here it's almost impossible to get a bad one! :D And I do prefer this quick play version over the steady grind of the most recent... good stuff. Classy days of crap (but entertaining) Flash are back.

-cd-

Little-Renastair responds:

I am glad to provide! I enjoy making crap, but hopefully enjoyable flash! So it's always good to know it gets an audience :P
