Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vatis]

I have to admit this wasn't that great for me. It was mostly because I couldn't find it rewarding. I do appreciate that it's kind of a unique game. Wow, we had a ton of stuff for Pixel Day 2024, didn't we?! I'm glad you weren't killed by the X. You just didn't have much control here.

I just wanted to not have to change direction when flying high. I never saw an alien turn white. I could never last that long! I thought that by collecting two I would get to the next level. It really was hard!

[Valentine's Day Art Collab '24]

Holy crap! This has 144 contributors to it! This beats "NG's 20th Anniversary Collab" which had 121 contributors! I had no idea that this would be Valentine's Day cards. I mean, I guess it makes perfect sense. We have relatively few Valentine's Day submissions at all!

I'm so glad to see all these great characters gathered together! I mean, they're not on screen at the same time, but still. It was just incredible to see these wonderful bits of sincerity. There's nothing cynical or anything about them, which is rare for a big submission here! Happy Valentine's Day now and forever! THIS WILL WIN DAILY FEATURE!

M-kirbs responds:

Oh god, it beats the 20th anniversary collab? That's a new record set, WOOOOOO!

[Pinball Breaker DELUXE]

This was a great little game! I wasn't expecting anything that good out of it. It didn't seem very appealing. Instead, it ended up being very stylistic. I'm not that much into pinball games here, normally. I loved seeing that cute little girl there.

It was hard at first, but I got used to it. This was a long game. By that, I mean it was long on the screen. I don't know where the extra balls come from. I'm just glad they exist.

[Hide & Skink]

Oh, Stu's the name of the human, not the lizard. The lizard's name is Skink. That's an odd name. Well, I don't know many lizard names. I got two medals and that was it. Thanks for including a walkthrough.

I had hoped it was a YouTube video. I got further than I thought. I'm just stumped by the locked door. I couldn't tell if the human was male or female. I thought I could do everything.

[Jeri Tower!]

Wow, that was a really fun game! It's quite addictive too. I was wondering why there was that toilet in the first level. The game said I could destroy one. I'm glad I got to one eventually. The enemies and dangers were nicely designed.

It's hard to do that with pixels. You really made it work. I liked the transition to a platformer. Platformers are my favorite games. I didn't realize you could stomp on enemies in that form at first. It makes sense.

succojones responds:

Thank you for your kind words :)

[Uh Oh Bartender]

Wow, I was impressed at how hard this game was! I mean, I didn't know you would even mix alcohol and non-alcohol in it. It was way more complicated than I thought. I'm glad I was able to turn away something. I know how hard it can be to mix drinks. I've seen it done.

What's the point? You'll get drunk any way! I didn't order it myself. Anyway, this was a pretty unique game. You rarely get something this mundane here.

[Death To The Humans!]

Well, what can I say? This has got to be the most frustrating game I've played in a long time. I really had no idea how to get to 5 million. I managed to get most of the medals. I could play this game forever and never beat it. It certainly escalated.

Just seeing these ships fly around over and over was quite hypnotizing. I just HAVE to recommend this for people because it's so addictive! It's repetitive as Hell, but man, do you just want to beat this game. It's nice to see an inverted game. I think I got ten million kills.

blit-blat responds:

Make sure you upgrade your mothership damage as soon as you can. You don't need a full fleet straight away, especially of the more expensive ships, you're better off saving up for damage upgrades than replacing all ships straight away. It's about balance between DPS and saving up. Keep at it, I'm sure you can do it with a little experimentation!

[Dino Time]

Yeah, I have to say that I didn't care for this. Its main fault is that it's too difficult. I mean, it has very loose controls. It would have made more sense to just have him move normally. It probably would have been just as hard to get all the medals. I liked hearing Luigi's yell.

This guy just flew around everywhere. It just didn't add up to much. I was kind of motivated. I mean, you had to work really hard just to get even the minimum score! Sorry, it just isn't for me.

NickSenny responds:

Dino is proud of you, but he wishes you’d return from the grocery store w the milk you promised

[BORE BLASTERS demo]

I really liked this game, but boy was it frustrating! Thank you for explaining everything in the author's comments. I was wondering why you couldn't find any gas. I was able to reach the bottom once, but it was too late. The enemies were worse than hitting stuff. It's a game where you always have to be shooting.

I think the levels are randomly generated. It was definitely unique for each level. I liked the designs of the enemies. I don't want to loot! Ah, these guys are monsters anyway.

[Pixel Fixel]

Oh, I didn't understand this game at first. You had to put the pieces together that fit the right shades. That was quite fun indeed. It was still a bit too hard. I'll always appreciate how it's a different kind of game. We got some interesting stuff from Pixel Day 2024.

I was annoying at how the collections we were getting for every series. I'm glad I'm keeping the good ones here. Congratulations winning an Underdog of the Week award! I think it deserves that. That isn't an insult.
