Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kiss-Mat 2]

I like this game. The animation reminded me of the kind of stuff that the one guy...makes. Yeah, forget it. If nothing else, I think it was a bit too easy. You had a good idea of when he would stop. Then again, I did lose on the second level.

Getting a score of 100 seems like enough. I think it could use more variety. Then again, that might have lost the point. I wish I had kisses like that in High School. Or I guess college, which I still have time for?

[Fetch n Stretch]

Dang, I am just no good at this game. I had to at least pick up one person. I think it's just because I'm more used to the Snake screen where it's a pure aerial view. At least I think that's how it's represented in those games. I do think this is an original idea. It's nice to see how it just wraps around everywhere.

I really like the graphics. While not that great, they really are very nice looking. I don't know why a limo would be pink. Well, are those the ones that expand when you get a passenger? The music was fine too.

[Boulder Basher]

I admit that the artwork could be better, but this is really a good game. I think it's because you figure out how to play it as you go along. I didn't even realize that you could use the boulders to kill the monsters throwing them. They deserve it! Their little grunts are funny too.

While not too complicated, it's harder than it looks. I like to see how the buildings withstand damage. I get the feeling this game just goes on forever. Not to say that doesn't make it good. Redundant titles are nice as well.

[Harmony of Elements]

I admit that this does seem like it's really too hard for what it's worth. I really had to look at the walkthrough to understand everything. If you had some medals, I might be more motivated. Then again, I haven't look at a walkthrough to get ahead in a game with medals for the longest time. The graphics were pretty good.

I just like how it's easy to understand everything. The actual gameplay is harder than you think. While it isn't too rewarding, it's probably worth a short look at. I think it's kind of an original idea. While not too elaborate, still not bad.

[Forbidden Arms]

I was really pretty impressed by this game. Some of the controls could be better. I admit it's quite funny to see my body keep getting torn up even after I've beaten the level! The graphics are quite good in this. The best part is probably how fast paced it is. You really have to be careful of those shrukens or however it's spelled.

The cutscenes were way too long. I should have gotten a medal for sitting through the first one! Eh, I'm not here to complain, this is a very good game. It's been awhile since I've played a platformer like this. It's pretty big for itself.

glad you liked it! thanks!

[Hungry Little Bear]

I don't know much about the science of bears, but it seems like he would starve from not eating so long. Oh yeah, they eat both meat and plants. I appreciated how good the graphics were. Again, I do think this is a little too cute. There's really nothing that wrong with it, I guess. At least the bear looks happy.

I would think a bear would be able to take on a pig. Of course, this is a game with no fighting. It looks more like a boar than a pig. It is interesting to see what will show up in the next level. While not great, certainly worth your time.

[Dino Shift 2]

I liked this game. I admit that I do think it was a bit too cutesy, but still quite good. The best part was probably how nice the colors were. It's nice to be in a happy little world like this. I even like the little sounds the dinosaur makes. I think I can remember the first one.

I usually review numbered sequels when the first was popular. It's nice to see happy little blocks. They even look funny when they know they are doomed. I just put two tiles in the level editor. That was enough to get the medal.

[Pretentious Game 4]

I have to admit that I was really quite impressed by this. I think the best part was how it really did work out well as a puzzle game. Sometimes, I just seemed to beat the levels by luck. It helped that you could really try anything here. I guess I just wish it was easier. What little detail you have works quite well.

I like the music too. It's important to keep calm in a game like this. It reminds me of the shape series. It's just a nicely put together game. You don't need more detail in this.

[Biggification]

I thought this was a good game. It helped that it was pretty easy to follow. Am I just getting dumber myself? I really liked the soothing music. The background was pretty cool too. While it wasn't that special, I found it to be good. It really is more complicated than what you would think.

The title is pretty cute. Yes, it could have been more elaborate. It didn't really need to be that way. I just found it to be good for a quick play. It is decent.

[Weird Fighters]

While not a great game, certainly a good one. I mean, I really do like how they do have good distinct designs. That black masked guy reminds me of one of the angels from "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Actually, I think that's a common theme in anime, as it's like No-Face in "Spirited Away". I thought that guy was a goat, not a llama. I never really noticed how similar they are.

I like how easy it was. My biggest complaint was that it seems like it could have been better with how long it took to beat an opponent. Then again, this whole thing is a bit ambiguous. I'm not sure you even really advanced in this game. It was fairly well done.
