Cy-Clone (Flash Version) - Gameplay
0Okay, here's the Flash version of Cy-Clone. Played using Flashpoint Infinity.
Originally, Cy-Clone (Russian: Боевой клон) by Lo-Jen was the one of creative and successful MMF2-made games of 2008 that seems to be influenced by these games:
- R-Type (art style)
- Kirby series (pulling, cloning and expelling enemies)
- Platypus (gameplay aspect and controls)
Although the Flash version was actually made by Oddity Games, not Lo-Jen. Maybe because Oddity asked for some uncompiled Cy-Clone assets from Lo-Jen, so they can make their own Flash version that was being published by Armor Games?
Here are the thoughts below I can throw about this version.
Flash version of Cy-Clone - my God, it SUCKS! Awfulness never changes, so here are many reasons why:
1. Prototype orb's pulling hit detection is worse than on the PC version.
2. You can't expel a cyber clone just by pressing Space bar like you normally would on PC version. Instead, you are forced to use all the stockpiled energy first (energy is indicated with a blue bar above).
3. You can't just use a Secondary attack manually, like you normally would by pressing the Right Mouse Button on PC version.
4. There are just too many yellow-colored powerups that refill both your health and energy. If energy bar is full, the Secondary attack is automatically used. Those yellow-colored powerups actually resemble those red-colored health-refilling powerups from PC version of Cy-Clone, although they're much smaller in size.
5. Before using the Primary attack (Left Mouse Button by default), you are forced to use all the saved Secondary attacks first (that were stockpiled by collecting yellow-colored powerups).
6. You can't grab and throw the large plasma balls that are being fired either by an Alien Warlord (probably the adult form of that alien creature from Lo-Jen logo intro) or by those two Giant Snails with red eyes on their shells.
Ok, so what the hell is this? A some sort of crappy Survival mode Demo for Cy-Clone made with Flash, with the modified Act 2 music from the original PC version of Cy-Clone? Did Oddity even playtest this crap anyway?
Anyway, just go play the PC version of Cy-Clone made by Lo-Jen with Multimedia Fusion 2, it plays way smoother and better. You can today get these versions of Cy-Clone on PC:
1. Big Fish Games version - if you are looking for English version. You can just either crack it or download it for free on SmallGames.WS.
2. Alawar version - if you are looking for Russian version. You can now just download it for free on SmallGames.WS at this point, as Alawar is no longer distributing 98,5% of casual games as of June 1, 2023 (R.I.P. Old Alawar, 1999-2023). I have no idea why Nevosoft refused to distribute Russian version of Cy-Clone.
