Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Do You like waffles?!]

That music's pretty dang catchy! :D Though vocals seem a little toned down, could've been more prominent in the mix.

Also a little disappointed there are no actual visible waffles here!

But hell yeah I do like waffles. And this right after the International Waffle Day too, good timing.

[Natalie Answers Your Questions]

Weird comments that you don't want to read out lmao. XD Good inclusion all the same!

Fun Q & A. Was thinking it's unfortunate there's no VA to narrate a thing like this, but it's not really necessary after all, it's more fun with visual reactions and expressions to match the questions after all. Tis is an animation made to be watched not just listened to...

Looking forward to the new game; glad you're still working with Flash no less! :D And that it's possible now, Ruffle's the shizzle.

Good stuff.

[Public School In The 90's Part 2]

I like this topic too, so keep it true brew! 👍✨

Wonder if those overhead projectors are still in use in some schools hmm...

No hair checks in the schools I went to but I got that gel too! XD And it didn't actually improve hairdo at ALL... good memories though.

[Public School In The 90's]

Of course we want to hear more! :D

This shit brings back good memories man. Good and bad, though everything's brighter in the rearview. Did not realize schools had changed so much, but when do I ever visit a school these days... everything but the mentol newports here is a spot on reflection of my own memory of said mythical and long-lost time and place of education but more importantly: breaks.

Keep 'em coming, these are great.

[Snowman]

A little ambient volume would've been nice, like some footsteps when they walk, some background something... was wondering if my speakers maybe weren't working.

Turns out there was not much sound at all, but it's a nice little story. :) Wholysome. Kept fearing the snowman would somehow just melt since there's no snow; the fleetingness of his life be the potential theme of this... glad that wasn't this!

[snugglywugglies.swf]

Well that was unexpectedly feelgood and fun. :) Tried finding a missing pixel in the loops somewhere but it seems you nailed those too, nicely done!

Always fun to see the source files too, way more layers than I assumed here, yeehaw dude!

And an NG track too! I thought I'd heard it somewhere else, good stuff.

Nabella responds:

Thanks. That was the vibe I was aiming for in spite of the mocking text. I improvised a lot while making this and luckily this one song in my favs clicked with what I already had done.

If you look closely, I think you can notice the background images snap ever so slightly instead of looping seamlessly. I was following this article for loops using tweens and missed the portion describing a container.

Yeah, I know it's a lot of layers, but it helps me keep track of things, lol. The real headache is keeping track of nested symbols and editing or re-timing them if need be. I need to think several steps ahead in the future.

[-Hybrid music video-]

This was niiice! Wonder if it's at all F-Zero inspired, though with the canyons it might be Star Wars POD racers, maybe there's no particular race inspiration at all though...

Nice work on the explosions in particular, so smooth, and the shot of the bird flying over the water was serene too... what a gem, old but gold still. Good music too.

[School Punishments]

The school ones may be the best ones. XD Remember getting sent to the principal's office once for just playing in an aggressive way... only time I ever did get sent to the principal, and on principle it was petrifying!

That first name story lmao! And the Mike Tyson tattoo. XD

This was a good one. Schools ain't like the used to be...

[Max Goes Mining]

People sure getting pretty aggressive down in the mines...

I've no idea what's really going on here, or why this Max cat would prefer a ruby over much more moldable treasure, but the animation's solid. Good-looking sounding and entertaining but confusing plot-wise...

[doom mewing]

Oh it works!!!

Using the most frustrated sprites before the transformation too. XD

Nicely done.
