Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Invertion]

Quite innovative

What really strikes me as enjoyable about this game is how well paced it is. You just seem to really create a world where you slowly learn what you can do. It can get pretty complicated, but that is pretty much the point. I guess I just like the fact that the main character is this cute little robot guy. I was a bit confused about the splitting up at first. In case anyone else has this problem, here's the thing. You have to make it so that your original robot self goes through the door and not the split one.

I like how you have a nice big environment to roam around. I was expecting the computer to get angrier the more you progressed. I guess it wouldn't make sense that way, like the HAL-9000. I appreciate all the variety and different kinds of obstacles you came up with here. A game that tries to combine three different genres is always cool.

[Robot Riot]

It's a decent game

The strongest point in this game is probably how elaborate the colors and artwork are. At times, it did look a little cheesy. It just kind of reminds me of the early 90's when CGi shows weren't of the best quality. Oddly enough, looking back, it seems like the animated movies that used that were just as good. What was cool was how there a lot of different kinds of enemies to kill. There was a good amount of effort put into their designs.

The music was good. My only problem was that it was fairly hard, especially when you were using a laptop, like I was. Oh well, I guess that's something I'll just have to get used to. I liked it how you could basically just fire randomly and hit targets as there were so many of them. It may not be the most technologically advanced game, but it's worth a play.

[Xrossfire]

How innovative!

I didn't know that this game was going to be this interesting. I was actually disappointed at first, because I didn't even have any idea how it was that I was getting so far ahead! It is basically one of those games that just plays itself. Of course, this was better because you got in a lot of fun killing while you were at it. I really have no idea where the bullets are going to fly to next. I think the only annoying thing was the part with all those hostages.

Those were the levels where you really had to plan strategy. Then again, this game is more based on luck than anything else. This aerial view is nice, particularly with how you get to see the people roll around and die. It's a cool effect I've seen in some movies. While I'm no killer, I certainly had a killer good time with this unique action game!

[Home Sheep Home 2: London]

It's more difficult

I think the main reason why this doesn't seem to be as popular as the first one, was because this was harder. I didn't really know what I was supposed to do at times. I still have to give you credit for having a really cool game created. I have watched these cartoons and remember the farmer character. It's good to see all these adorable sheep over again! I was thinking this might have had something to do with the release of "Arthur Christmas" which you guys worked on.

Granted, this has nothing to do with Christmas, but I think you guys made that. You're going to have be craftier in order to get ahead in this game. I admire how there are so many different kinds of obstacles in your way. I should have known you would lose when the sheep went out on the road. We always have to count sheep.

[Zombie Safari]

Very fun game

The best thing about this was probably just how freaking fun it was to kill those zombies over and over! I have always been a fan of the zombie genre and love this sort of thing. Hey, even Fred Rogers was a fan (I'm dead serious, look it up!). My only complaint was when you got the bazooka it took too long to reload. I was hoping it would just be easier to shoot enemies. I was a bit confused as to why it wasn't getting easier, but then I realized I had to put the gun in the chamber to use it.

The music is good and sets off a really cool tone. I appreciated all the different designs that were used in this. Who thought that bees could be fairly difficult to kill? It was cool how it just got crazier as it went along like how ridiculous it was with the giant spiders and stuff. This wasn't submitted at Halloween time, but makes a great game nonetheless.

[Atomix Reloaded]

Fairly interesting game

It's always nice when a game tries to be educational. I guess it wasn't the most creative of games, but it was still a pretty nicely done game. It was hard for me to understand at first, but then I realized you could move the other atoms as well. It had a pretty interesting title. I suggest that in order to make it more appealing, you add in some better use of colors as well as better gameplay. It just doesn't seem that out of the ordinary.

Of course, there's nothing really that bad about the game either. At least you have a pretty good environment to move around and express yourself. It seems like the kind of game you can experiment with. Of course it's a puzzle game, it wouldn't fit as anything else. You could make it a bit more educational with more facts.

[Bagging Mastar 2k]

Cute little game

This didn't rank as one of my favorite or least favorite games here. The best part about it is how you allow yourself to go at such a lesiurely pace. It could have had more going on, but I guess a game about groceries wasn't supposed to have that. The music is fairly good. What I also liked was that it was easy to advance. All you had to do was just keep pressing all the arrow buttons at once. It didn't penalize you for that, so you would get something like that.

There could have been better designing, but still decent. It's the first time in awhile I've heard a title that had "2000" in it. Even then, it didn't have the exact wording (or lettering?) but the 2K abbreviation. It just takes a bit too long to get things started. There's so many groceries that I wouldn't want for that part to speed up.

[It's a wonderful FULP!]

That's an odd game

It's hard to tell what to make of this game, because it was hard to even get ahead. What struck me as the weirdest was how I opened up a present and then didn't know how to advance. I at least managed to get another one by clicking on the envelope. I clicked everywhere but there was nothing that advanced me to the next day. I guess I can at least give you credit for having a fairly well designed game. I like how it's mostly black and white.

Judging from the title, I would think this would be a remake of "It's A Wonderful Life". It apparently didn't really have anything to do with that. The music is pretty good and sets me in the Christmas spirit. I am glad to announce that my father already has all the ornaments and decorations put up. I hope you have a great Christmas season.

[Idle Not]

Needs more detail

I guess this perhaps wasn't intended to be that good looking, but this game should have more detail. It just seemed like everything was presented in far too much of an ordinary manner. The text and everything else seems so bland. I will give this credit for at least having an original concept. I was surprised at how easy it was to die when all I did was move around. I suggest you simply keep pressing the arrows to get a pattern.

The music was alright. It seemed like it didn't fit the tone very well with how it was peaceful and this was a game about the Devil. The lines are straight, but it doesn't leave much to go on. I keep winning that same medal when I lose on the first level. It always pays to have a game where you can get a medal that easily.

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review! Now that you mention it, the song does seem to be a bad fit for the theme. Next time, I'll be sure to pick a more suitable piece! I'll try to make the graphics better next time, with pictures from the Internet which are not copyrighted. The game I'm working on will be much easier to win.

[Cube Tower]

Too slow

What I didn't like about this game was that it simply took a long time to move along. I would rather you have it be sped up a lot more. I know you have a speed up button, but it doesn't really do that much. Of course, I still have to give you credit for having some really good graphics in this. Everything just looks so organized in this. It might have been a bit more detailed, but nicely done. It's just hard to enjoy a game that takes so long to play.

The sounds are especially nicely done in this. I like the images that the graphics show when the enemies die. I guess the good probably does outweight the bad here. I guess I can be thankful that you get plenty of time to prepare for the next part. The music is also good and sets off a nice adventurous tone.
