Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crush the Castle 2 PP]

Some castle

I probably didn't like this as much as a lot of other people because of how hard it is. Here's a tip: if you know a certain spot that at least gets in one good point, do not change where your mouse is. Of course, it's a matter of timing so click it when the rope touches it. The Wilhelm scream simply never gets old. The graphics are very nicely detailed, which is always a good factor when a game is so hard. It can get embrassing with having to get so many shots.

At least it's cool how the logs still cause damage by falling. You would be surprised at how hopeful that can be. There isn't that much to set it apart from the other games, other than that it is harder. I guess I had to be a much bigger fan to get really good at it. At least you have a ton of oppurtinites to get the dang thing right.

[Dire Haven]

Crazy and awesome!

This was so sweet because you had no idea what was going to happen next. The weirdest thing was at the beginning where I didn't know where to go. In fact, I don't even think I even now know how I got out of that scenario. Anyway, the graphics in this are good and it's great how everything moves so smoothly. I can say it's the first game in awhile I've played where everyone was naked. It kind of makes you have pride in your nudity.

There were just so many things lurking around everywhere out to kill you. You had to really know how to manuever things and luckily, I'm good with games. It may be the first time I ever noticed a genre being "Hop and Bop". It sounds like a Dr. Seuss book. I don't think the different characters had different skills, but it's still cool to see them switch.

[Gap Monsters]

Very elaborate!

I have just been playing great game after great game today! The most awesome thing about this was that it really did seem like one of the most original things I had come across with on this website in awhile. It was sweet to hear that monster scream out loud when it was being taken to the square. The animation, for some reason, reminds me of Dr. Tran. It's times like these that make me wish a series like that was on this website.

It was great that so many people manage to come up with custom made levels. The music is also extremely glorious and gives off a good sense of adventure. It sounds a lot like it was remixed from some "Legend Of Zelda" game. We will always need puzzle games like this to learn to truly concentrate on our games. You come up with the best stuff, nutcasenightmare!

Nutcasenightmare responds:

You're right, I just realized that the screaming mouth looks like that of a certain true American legend, who killed his own mother with a broken lawn chair!

Thank you for the review! Puzzle on, fellow monster.

[Superfighters]

One of the best!

This is the most fantastic game that I have played online in a long time! At first I thought it was going to be more of a level like game but it was mostly one on one. I prefer to use hand to hand combat because I can never get any good range in with my gun. The good thing is that it works just as well. I love how the detail in this game is so splendid with everything looking like an authentic arcade game. How cruel of you to put a single medal that is 100 pts!

Yet, how awesome of how to make this game. When I saw the initials "SF" I thought it was a reference to "Street Fighter". This is more like the River City Ransom game if nothing else. The sounds are all great and authentic and I love the slo-mo that shows the characters dying. It's great to see the variety of games you have made. A pity I keep forgetting what controls do what, but that can be improved.

[Pixel Hop 2]

So beautiful!

This was one awesome game because the graphics were fantastic. It's an extremely enjoyable puzzle game, probably due to the fact that it's also a platformer one. You really had to use your brain to figure this one out. The only complaint I have is that there should be some checkpoints. At least that works well in motivating you to keep on playing! I loved the cute little sounds that were everywhere.

The artwork kind of reminded me of the Mr. Men series. Everything was just detailed in a magnificent manner especially with how clear the buttons were. There's so many different operations to these things, you have to keep up. The music also gave off a good sense of wonder. It makes me wonder what crazy place I'm supposed to be in.

[The Unbeatable Path]

Hard, but good

This was a fairly interesting game to play because it had a nice appeal to it. At first, it seemed so easy but there were so many things going on you had to take note of. The worst thing was probably the timer. I don't know why, but I have never been good at these games where you move at that angle with the arrow keys. I keep getting everything mixed up. I could swear that some of these keys actually change their function after awhile.

It's nice how you are trying to get medal points, not that I would ever get them. The best thing about this was probably the music. It just gave off a really good mysterious feeling especially with the explanation at the beginning. For a square with not that many pixels, I thought the main character was pretty good. Auto-saves are always a plus.

The changing of the controls was a gameplay element to make it more difficult, the keys are supposed to move you in random directions which change when the timer runs out. Thanks for playing, good to hear you thought it was interesting anyway.

[Intruded]

How original!

I am always looking for new innovative games here on Newgrounds and here's one that really takes the cake! The gameplay was different than anything I had seen before. Probably the only downside was that one level with the spikes. It's great how subtle everything is in here. I wish I knew how you made the graphics for this sweet game. You are truly a pioneer in looking for new camera angles and techniques in flash work.

I love how there's no dialogue and it's just straight through walking. You'd be surprised at how hard it can be to keep up with everything. It's also great how you only have to start back at the beginning of a level and not at the whole game. No timer also makes it better to advance. It's amazing how much color you can put in a game like this.

[Cowboy Duel]

I'd call it decent

While not the most original of ideas, this game is a bit playable. It did seem a bit silly to have to buy the gun and bullets seperatedly. Of course, I should probably just look closer at the game. The coolest thing was when you got to the actual gameplay. The funny thing is that I really didn't even understand how to do it that much, but I did fairly good in it. It's nice with how a single bullet does not kill a person like in real life.

The graphics were pretty good, although they could have been a bit more stylistic. The sound and music weren't bad either. I suggest you should maybe make the instructions a bit more clear and put in some more detail. It seems like there should be more cowboy themed stuff around it. It's a classic theme that should never die out.

[100th]

Fairly good game

I liked this game because it seemed to have a pretty unique premise to it. It was weird to see something from Freeworldgroup without their name billed. The best thing was how you had to come up with some pretty clever ways to keep hold of the balloon. It was also good how well the character bounced everywhere. The downside was that it wasn't that well detailed and could have been more colorful. It is still good enough to recommend.

Again (I should stop saying this) thank you for the walkthrough. The sounds were pretty cheery and gave a good atmosphere to the game. I wish I could figure out what this weird little protagonist is even supposed to be. The graphics were a good classic imitation while still having a fairly modern look. You might want to also put some more music in.

[Zombie Rider]

Certainly not terrible

The main flaw I found with this is that it wasn't that original. I guess it was kind of interesting to have those exploding gold things even if I couldn't understand what they did. The graphics in this are decent. It's weird how this is in fact a racing game even though you are the only person on the player. There could have been some more detail on the bikes as I could not find much difference among them. The music was okay too.

The coolest part was probably when you fell down on the bike and exploded. For something to be avoided, that was cool. There could just be some more detail into the background and maybe more variety. It has the makings of a good game, just not enough stuff to make it stand out. It's hard with how many games there are like this out there.
