Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Heroic Rooster]

Finally I get to review this! :D I've tried playing through it a few times with the goal of at least scoring 10k points in one sitting, but that is one difficult task. You can restart an unlimited amount of times, and yet without the score it doesn't feel so rewarding... I'm thinking a system of lives would have been nice here, maybe you could gain them the same way you transform, with a certain amount of seeds? Or by jumping on a certain amount of enemies? The game itself is fun, but it all ends a bit suddenly. And, on the other hand, it never ends! You can't lose! :P It really is a challenge to get a highscore...

As for game mechanics, I feel like a lot of the feedback I left in the Beta phase still applies. How platforms seem a bit too slippery compared to normal ground, how you slow down every time you land after a jump, walking down stairs, etc, how certain platforms aren't clearly outlined or somehow made to look like they stand out from the background, so in the running level in particular it's easy to at first not know when you're supposed to jump or nor (thankfully you don't lose points here!). I'm glad the 'bugs' were ironed out, but the gameplay itself could be smoother!

The game is still a lot of fun though. I love the attention to details, how you can roar at Diwakar while he's reading the paper (could have a medal for that), the voice messages, the small traps and random obstacles, the different modes of play, that creative save animation (:D), etcetc. Music's catchy too, and the menu easter egg was fun as well. I still haven't actually completed the game but... maybe I will! Just struggling with that first 10k. Good game overall; btw: Happy Birthday!

Thanx Sir !!
Wohooooooooo!

[Tap Heroes]

Simple concept, and pretty addictive gameplay! Graphics are great, actions all feel rewarding, the difficulty feels balanced and progressive, and upgrades! There's nothing not to like about this game! I just wish there'd be medals (via the NG API) to more visibly reward progress. It's a great game in all aspects!

Thank you! I want to make some cool updates also if I can!

[Adversity Weapon Pack]

I don't think I've ever had so much fun playing something that's not even a game before! :D Really nice way of presenting a downloadable package. It doesn't just give you a great preview, but just firing all those weapons is a blast. Would've been neat with custom sound effects even for individual weapons and not just sets, and some action to perform with melee weapons too, and while you're at it it'd be cool with something to fire on, like small 2D targets popping up on the right side and an ability to move the gun/weapon around with the mouse... but considering this is a presentation more than a playable item, it definitely gives you more than you're expecting already! Plenty of effects and variations to toggle too. A really nice weapon set made to seem even more masterful with this gadget!

Thanks a lot for the comments man! Perhaps in a future update I'll add some additional features. :-)

[Go Ninja!]

Hmm is that 'Go, Ninja' or 'Go Ninja', as in: become a Ninja? :P Anyway, the game seems good, but there's one fatal flaw when I play it: the background scrolls out of view as soon as I start a level, and the rest of the game is played in darkness. You can't see the platform differences, etc, makes it quite hard to play!! Hope the issue can be solved! I'm using FF and Win 7.

Thank you for reporting the bug , I'm correcting it in the next version . It Seems que Google Chrome works normal.

[NG Character Survey]

Was expecting a quiz, multiple characters you need to guess right etcetc, but I guess I should've read the title huh! :P Considering I've never seen anything like this before, it was a nice idea. Just wish the interface was a little smoother, like a chart with sprites for the characters instead of text, maybe some more stats (total votes/category?), transitions, an option to change vote or go back to the menu, character images that seamlessly blend together. But anyway, was a nice idea! I voted for Hominid. Keep it going!
