Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toon Escape: Playground]

So much work just to get out of the playground, feels like it should be more to get in than the other way around. :) That's where all the incentive is! The fun! Another good game though. Simple, subtly challenging entertainment.

Thanks!

[Flanders Killer 7]

A pretty addictive shooter! Violent in creative ways, with plenty of variation between levels not only in scenery and characters, but with extra items to aim at, ghosts, pigeons, all kinds of creative carnage. Mini-games were appreciated too, and once you start paying attention to level goals instead of going crazy it's not all that difficult to gather the medals either. :) Just 'Todd's Combo' remains... thanks for the entertainment, and hoping for more of these in the future! It's a nostalgic type of content too, simple, creative; crazy fun like in the old days. Also thanks for adding that quality toggle!

Aprime responds:

Glad I managed to help you get that medal in the end! More Flanders Killer in the future? Maybe. I'll see how it all pans out.
I guess it's a nostalgic type of content because the first one was made in 2005, 12 years ago! Wow.
Also you're welcome. Thanks for playing!

[Ultra Trivia - Sega]

A fun little quiz! Took a few rounds, but I finally got them all right. :) Good practice. Compared to Nintendo, I really don't know enough about SEGA, but apparently I knew more about the games than I thought I did. Nice work! Easy to play, not too long; packed with good information.

FIL1994 responds:

Thanks for the review. I had to do a lot of research for this one.

[Minute of Rage]

I can't seem to see the menu items on this game, just the arrows pointing at them. Using FireFox, Win 7, 64-Bit, no tracking, if that matters? The game itself was a quick bit of fun, though does get pretty aggravating when all the wrong things happen at the same time! Obstacles feel balanced, but timing's frustrating sometimes, and challenging either way. Just the right amount though. Haven't made it to a minute yet, but I figure I'd post about the bug/compatibility issue first; see if maybe there'll be a chance to play it in full as it's meant to be played. :)

Graphics are great, controls are smoother. Overall feels like a polished game! Simple but functional, with creative design.

Wolod responds:

Thanks for the report. I've downloaded latest Firefox (v.50.1.0) and tested the game. Menu items are visible and game runs without any errors. If you prefer to play in the browser I can suggest to try to update Firefox or try to run it on Chrome. There's also a desktop version of this game for Windows. It should work just fine on Win 7. You can download it from GameJolt (http://gamejolt.com/games/minute-of-rage/223794).

[Split Space 2017]

I really like the idea of multiple ships, and moving between them - each with their own strengths and weaknesses, along with a unique character and colorful design. I feel the overall moment's abit too giddy, though. Not as response as I'd like - or maybe too response the way they glide almost too smoothly. In contrast, the game pace feels a bit slow, even if the enemies get more and more challenging, and eventually arduously so. I think the calm music contributes to the lack of urgency, though it's not bad music per say. It's tense, and spacey, but doesn't really push you on.

I also wish you knew from the start how long the game was. How many phases there are. A level selection (once you've unlocked the respective levels) would be nice too. I like the art, and sound, and idea of it all: it's fun to play too, but does feel a bit imbalanced, with a bit fast difficulty curve... unless you try to play through without points, in which case it's instead reaaaaally slow. At first. Nevertheless a great game, polished and creative, but could be perfected further.

JauqGames responds:

Thank you for your Review. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. In case you didn't know: once you've selected all three ships and pressed space bar, a checkpoint selection bar should show up, showing all five checkpoints (if you've unlocked them). I'll make sure to take your words into consideration if I decide to make a game like this again.

Thanks,
Jauq

[Piggy Game]

Crazy, random, idea, but still strangely addictive! It's not your typical clicker either in how the Pig actually moves around between clicks, according to (it seems) a certain formula? And both point generation and 'Oinks' feel rewarding as they appear. There's even an explosive reward if you do make it to a mill, and even when it's done there's post-game entertainment, and replay value. XD Maybe the most elaborate joke game I've played! It voes beyond just being a joke and... actually being fun. A simple; entertaining time waster. Nicely done.

JauqGames responds:

This was supposed the be just a silly little game, but I'm glad you liked it nonetheless.

[Turbo Era GP]

One of the most elaborate racing games I've played in a long time online! :) Really appreciate the ability to customize virtually everything you'd possibly want to, though I wouldn't mind a more personal (and less professional) selection of characters, and an ability to toggle off the 'race is over' message you have to wait for at the end of each race - sometimes it takes a long time for it to appear.

Overall though, a polished and pleasantly entertaining take on racing! With catchy; nostalgic music to match. Both medals and scores feel like a well-worked award, and method of 'real' competition. And also: I did manage to race my way through the entire game on FireFox, in spite of the recommendation, against both Amateur and Ace AI... albeit on the lowest quality just for good measure. Seems to work alright! Thanks for a grand GP game!

Nocito87 responds:

Thank you very very much for this detailed review, Cyberdevil !
This means a lot to me. I'm really happy right now ! :) :) :)

The amount of time you'll have to wait for the 'race over' message to appear, is exactly the amount of time the top 6 drivers will need to finish the race. Top 6 will get championship points.
Rookie or Amateur-AI drivers will probably need more time to finish the race than Ace-AI drivers.
That's the secret behind the 'race over' waiting time :) I will work something out to make it faster next time. For sure !

Good to hear that Firefox worked for you. Usually, Firefox is my favorite browser.
But when I saw the game on my Firefox, I just couldn't believe what was happening. :D
I experienced everything imaginable. It was really bad. Tried it on another PC, the same, even worse. Did some more testing and gave up :/

Thanks again, Cyberdevil ! Much appreciated ! :)

[Checkers 3xb]

I read the title as '3KB'. Was thinking that woah, stuffing so much content into that small a size is pretty impressive! XD I guess it's a bit larger than that, though? Even without music. It's a smooth game, easy to play, good-looking, and not bad AI either.

Artur-Felipe responds:

Thank you for the tips.

[Real American Test]

Thought at first it might be a joke about how USA seems to think they own Mexico, and a lot of the questions seemed to follow suite, but some made no sense at all. In the end, ah, it all falls into place! Though basically any of the answers could be right for most questions since basically everyone could be an American - no matter their nationality, everyone's an immigrant in one form or another - except the natives, of course. Took a few attempts to figure out, and still feels a bit random - like there's no 'definite answer' for each question even if you know what the meaning behind it is, but the message: pretty clever! As always a fun game too, and glad you didn't have that '100% correct' medal on this one. ;)

Munguia responds:

I just hear the song "This is America" really cool but the name is not correct, the name should be "This is USA", you know in Costa Rica we don´t have terrorism or school kids with guns for masive attacks, in guatemala we have Volcano firing but not police killing black people, in cuba we have short of internet but no massive attack weapon market. America is a big continent not just a country with so much money and problems like Gambino says
