Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows XP Sim]

So I found the medals but hmm not sure where I got the one for visiting you on NG! If it was the 'follow me on NG' link on the shutdown frame, that one doesn't seem to work. Overall bit rushed Win XP parody, without any real parody, just a lot of random error messages without puns - but just random errors. Feels lik you could've put more jokes into it, wordplay, maybe some actual gadget or game, and a bit higher resolution so it's not all so pixelated? It's alright, but feels really rushed.

StaticSkull responds:

I'll try harder next time :)

[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.

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

[Retro Pong]

A slick and clasy classic-like Pong game! Upgrades are a nice addition too, though it feels weird they only affect you even if the opponent hits them. Feels like they should apply to the one who gets them, not to where they are. Overall though, a fun game. Basic, but easy to replace.

demiank responds:

I had that exact same thought somewhere in the development process. I just lost it somewhere :)

EDIT: just got a PM from Cyberdevil: he made a typo => replace -> replay.
Thx for that!

[Dragon Ball VS Naruto CR: Vegeta]

A really slick and elaborate fighting game, with an unconventional mixture of characters! Great music, great graphics, tons of options, it's really great all the way through. Just hope you don't run into any copyright issues! Tons of fun.

creetor responds:

Thanks. it is just a fan game.

[Thump Trump]

A pretty entertaining little Trump thumping game!

Thank you!

[Chaos Eclipse]

The Canon ending on the first try! :D I liked this game, apart from the impressively professional graphics (especially the interfaces and text), it feels like a fresh start to the whole Chaos universe... but I guess it's all connected? The golden rocket medals, are they a thing of the past now, or just not in this series? It does make you focus more on the game when there are no hidden background elements you're looking to click. The story all seems very familiar, but presented in a more dramatic way than earlier, and the music matches the mood nicely. Looking forward to Chapter 2!

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! Yeah I decided to ditch the Golden Astronaut thingies, for now at least :B

[Bblubble]

Mmm I thought Hardcore would be a bonus, but having that uinlock on level 9 was a pretty harsh twist, especially with that kind of final level! I was hoping it'd be the other way, that after going through all nine levels again the final one would be basically no level at all, just open space - as easy a piece of cake as the main menu. When you get that far, and go through each level twice, it's pretty aggravating to realize you won't be making it to the end of the game after all. I love the game design, idea, level variation and everything, but I feel cheated. Hardcore mode seemed challenging enough as it was. Doesn't take that long to go through all levels so if it was a challenging final level that'd be fine, but going through all levels twice, for that? IMO the ideal would've been hardcore mode unlocking specifically for the final level, and the final level being a bit less impossible to beat. With balanced difficulty, I'd have loved this game. Everything else is perfect. Ambient music, good control, smooth graphics, a ton of fun to play until the ending.

gurigraphics responds:

Truth. To date are 1,000 plays and only Draukagrissa3 won the challenge Hard Mode.
Then I add a new version.

[Oh Chapel]

I do like these contemplative shorts of yours. The narration was nicely done, and the script both cryptic and poetic, a wisp of spirituality, but the meaning vague and fleeting, open to interpretations of your own. The movement was a bit hacky for me, which I'm not sure it should've been? Feels like that might've been lag, since it lagged a bunch while ridding the way of obstacles and clicking around. Would've been nice with the 'toggle quality' option on the menu (or a shortcut key for it). Overall though, a nice little gem!

JackAstral responds:

Thanks, that means a lot. I'll add in a quality toggle in the next patch :-)
