Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninja kendo]

I'm trying to block attacks to the head (seems like the most common type) with UP, but he keeps bashing my head anyway, does the blocking have to be done just before the attack or something? Maybe if you're too early it doesn't work? I like the idea though, glad to see something other than football games. ;)

AdelPiero responds:

Thanks,

Maybe you aren't holding it? You have to press a key and keep it pressed to hold position to block.
Or it could be you are too late. It takes a part of a second from key press until your ninja is in a blocking position. He can hit you during that time too. You have to be in a blocking position before his sword makes contact

[Rush Deeper]

A pretty catchy platform runner, in a pretty different direction, down and down, a stranger delving deep into the abyss of obstacle greatness. Nice game!

A graphically elaborate and creatively crazy venture into the otherworld. Love it.

Thank you kindly!

[Three Nights Escape]

Real nice intro with the clock! And turns out it's not just the intro, but the entire game that permeates this same atmosphere, the shadow always surrounding, the light a central part of the atmosphere. It looks and puzzles good! Nice work.

Thank you Cyberdevil!

[Princess Protector]

Got stuck entirely on the staircase scene where you first meet Bushly, ran past it, then ran back when the Princess ran away, and jumped down to the abyss thinking there'd be another level there (alas, all that awaited was fatal death!) and after that... seems I can't go back or forth from this one room. Also bit buggy transition in how when you move to a new room you have to let go of the movement keys and press again to start going... but controls otherwise are smooth, the story's enough to keep you intrigued, and the biggest strength lies in the visuals! Great characters, backgrounds; everything. With all control bugs fixed it feels like a flawless adventure platformer!

Thank you, kindly. I would have polished it more but I ran out of time. I learned a lot making this game. I'm looking forward to my next work without a contest deadline to meet.

[The Asteroid]

Not sure if it's an issue with Flash in general or this game specifically, but playing this I ran into a pretty severe memory leak, past 25,000 points the game started freezing up, and I had to start shutting down all excess processes to keep playing - noting that the browser was using about 3GB RAM. I was up at 33,000 points and I think on the verge of getting the final medal, when it crashed! Argh! Which brings me to what I feel is a pretty large flaw in the game: that highscores aren't continually saved as you play. I consider this a flaw since it might've taken me about an hour to reach that point, and yet all progress (thankfully not the medals!) can just be canceled out like that. No save points or anything. Might not be an issue for an arcade game in general, but it feels like one with any game that consumes an excessive amount of time to reach a certain point. It could really use some failsafe there. Otherwise, I like the idea, gameplay, pretty much everything about it apart from maybe how long time it takes to get somewhere, and how you can literally keep playing forever if you just stay alert enough... and have enough RAM. I'm using FF btw, if that makes a difference.

I'll make it so that it submits your score every few minute (So if it crashes, your last score should still get on the leaderboard). Hopefully it won't cause it to lag even more.

Now about the lag, I'm not sure why it would lag so much. I made sure that not too many asteroids and ships spawn in a certain amount of time and all ships/fragments are removed once they leave the screen. I'll try to do something about the lag.

[White Stone]

Pretty inspiring point and click adventure short! Nice work.
