Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Steamed Hams But It's Professor Layton]

Oh my. XD I've seen the Steamed Hams meme before but never the full thing I think, this was fun... haven't played Professor Layton before, so I'm sure I'd appreciate this even more if I had, but you get the gist of how the game works pretty easily at least, and somehow the puzzles just make the story even better.

I like the added easter eggs and other detail with sound effects and what-not, like Bart's 'ooh he's picking his nose', that's something it'd be fun to find were this an actual game...

Speaking of: I imagine this would be way more fun if it actually was an actual game too. Doesn't seem impossible to make with Flash for example, in how choices are pretty much all point-and-click, an interactive format for this would be really cool.

Nicely done though, fun idea, great sound design, the mysterious music in particular fits in so well.

ProjectAnarchy responds:

I'm glad you liked it, man. :)

[Devil Mario 2😈🔥]

Well that sure escalated quickly! XD

Love the flash at the beginning, the sound effect and screen shake when he starts sucking in souls, impactful beginning... the army of toads marching, and Luigi's Transformer-like cry as they do (something I get a bit annoyed about in movies - same kind of sound design seems to be used in pretty much every sci-fi alien/monster movie these days) was powerful too...

It ends quick after that though! I feel like it was just beginning, it's a great build, and a very sudden end... that doesn't really seem conclusive. Enemies still gathered. Seems like the battle rages on. But nicely animated.

Makes sense though when it's a part of a bigger thing, course. Good part.

Atmospheric background too.

[hostess hits dude with bat]

Wonder what the original video looks like now. XD Do you happen to have a link, did this actually happen, or was it more so inspired by the picture here?

The animation's smooth! Good fun.

-cd-

Maniacattack responds:

I just now linked the video in the description! Apparantly gifs won't function :P

[a cave story cartoon]

This brings me back! :D I remember the bosses dudettes/dudes and dungeons and atmospheric tunes in abundance, but can't say I remember the full story anymore... catching glimpses thereof here more than a red thread, the random factor's sometimes almost a bit too excessive, but good fun! And an honorable homage. And 20 years already dang... gotta play again soon.

Thanks for making this too! For the memories and view.

recme responds:

thanks cyberdevil!! hope you've been doing well lately 💪

[Charlie Brown Christmas Reanimated - Parts 2-7]

The collab(s) that keep on giving! :)

This was great. Style just like the original Charlie Brown too.

-cd-

Blaznthekid responds:

Thanks! Really wanted to stay close to the original while I was working on this

[NGTV Christmas Marathon]

The scope of this collab really is beyond comprehension! And it's not just long but GOOD! Thoroughly entertaining. Fun, varied and abundantly creative all the way through, even the credits. :P

Props @Kolumbo on managing this gargantuan get-together! Nice work all!

Honored to have been a part of this.

-cd-

Kolumbo responds:

CYBERDEVIL!!!!!!!!! thanks again for the logo and for all the hoops we jumped through to get that sequence out at the end - much appreciated! nerry christmas and talk to you soon!!!

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard - Shopping]

The way you first perceive Secret Santa as a personal get-together for S & T, and then realize the rest of the crew are involved too. XD Living in their own little bubble hmm...

The Holiday spirit's definitely present in the sceneries too. Love the snowfall, and the background ambience overall, recognizable scenes and random people maneuvering through this life too, never in the way, but always ...

Wholesome Christmas special man! Good fun. Nicely done.

-cd-

Aaron-Long responds:

thanks a lot!

[Devil Mario 😈🔥]

This was a good one! Smooth battle moves, and transitions. Solid sound effects. Speed lines. All simple means by which to amplify the motions, though it does cut off a bit abruptly at the end...

I assume Luigi just jumping right into the air above the lava is an intentional comedy element more so than just a random end, yet it feels like you need some kind of reaction for the viewer to understand that it's intentional too. Him looking down real quick, or shedding a symbolic drop of sweat, or something such just so you know... then: perfect ending.

I share the sentiment that something like this could use a spotlight too, I wouldn't mind seeing this in a P-Bot Top 5. The animation's simple but effectual, and the entertainment value more important than detail level after all. It's straight up fun; the substance you need to by simple means brighten ones day. Still more substantial than a lot of shorts out there.

Good stuff.

CrimsonKero responds:

If it makes you feel better, the other scene got Daily 5th.

[PROF - Pack A Lunch feat. Redman (Short Animated Music Video Clip)]

Never thought I'd see PROF animated on NG! :D This is dope.

Good choice with the part, and the animation's just perfect, hope you do more of these!

RobDirnens responds:

Big thanks, big dawg! :)
