Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico Sim Date 2 (v.1.5)]

Of course it has over a million views

While not a fan of dating sims, I have to appreciate all of the hard work and effort that was put into this. I don't think anybody has even attempted to animate the Pico characters like this. I especially like how the gameplay is really slow and does not even seem to focus so much on fanservice or hentai. Too bad you seemed to miss the 4/30 date mark. It is easy to say that this is probably the most attractive version of Nene out there. The thing also does a good job of putting emotion and story in.

[Tower of Heaven]

Pretty creative

I think the medals might now be working, because I definitley died more than five times in a single level. This was an interesting little experiment that was pretty unpredictable. The hardest by far was Level 6, which I simply can not last more than two seconds on. I like the coloring effects used and how it creates a unique atmosphere. You really worked to make something original, even if it was not the most enjoyable. It was pretty funny just to see God come in and smite you so often.

flashygoodness responds:

Couldn't get past Level 6? You cannot WALK left, but isn't there something else you can do to move in that direction...?

[Max Mesiria Chp2 RPG]

Such good graphics

I am not even really a fan of RPG myself, but even I could not help but admire all the effort put into this. This does not even seem to focus that much on action as it really is with communication. Normally, I would not care for that, but the atmosphere is so well created. I love the deep and comforting music used. Everything just seems to stand out and I enjoy just looking at these characters move their bodies. The main strength of this is that it does not try to be really flashy, just very fun.

[Save your life 3 THE END]

Quite strange

I was very confused by this game. First, I saw the preview icons for a bunch of other games, some of which were listed as recommondations below the game, but were still clickable. I started at Level 31, which I guess means this is supposed to be the third game. It says I have to type in a number, but then I have to type a letter with no capitals (?!). I typed "Fall Down" on the first because that is all I could figure out, but it did not work. Overall, this had elements too strange to fully enjoy and play.

EventHorizon responds:

maybe you're right, though I meant that the responses of the levels should not be written in capital letters!

[The Insanity Box]

Really cool!

This is a game that truly tests how smart you are, but can also contribute to testing your sanity as well. I am amazed at the sheer number of audio material used for ths, not to mention all the flashy effects! I have no idea what is going to happen next, but it is very fun to play. Half the time I do not even know how to play the levels properly! It is just interesting to see the unique artwork show up, like the kitten! With all the ridiculous stuff going on, this is one disorganized game that certainly focuses on insanity!

[The Beast (Part 1)]

Does need work

The animation in this game was just really cheesy and it was hard to take it seriously. Of course, seeing as how this is a game with 0 point medals, it probably is not supposed to be taken seriously, anyway. The second level is simply murder for me to beat! The cheesy effects remind me of the stuff made by Jerry Jackson. I suggest that you also work with coloring effects, because everything seems to just be one color. I guess the sound quality was not too bad and it was a little unique.

You beat the tutorial and then gave up. What the hell makes you think you've seen enough to review the game? And stop mentioning the fecking medals, I've already explained that to you.

[Avoid & Kill]

Quite fun

I had a little trouble understanding this game at first, but I definitley understood it the more I played it. The only reason I like this so much was that I played it when it was first being submitted. I was able to always rank in high on the all time scores as so few people had played it! My highest my 8,000, but dang it, someone else beat me to 15,000! This game is not intended to be a lesson in biology, just something quick and fun. As it gets harder, you can only pray for one of those things that allows you to eliminate enemies.

[Oil Spill Escape]

Dang oil spill!

I can always count on Newgrounds to give us some satire or at least a game that features modern problems. I was impressed by how well it flowed. I was not even aware that I was not able to advance past the rocks as I kept thinking I could just go over them. I liked when I could just locate where the next space between the rocks was there and sort of "walk" along that part. The music is pleasant and seems to be unfitting. It looks as though by now they have finally put that cap on it, too.

[Satanorium]

Another point 'n click

I like this game a lot because it has really great graphics. With the number of CGI games rising, it is great that so many people are working hard to avoid the uncanny valley. As always, it is great that you include the walkthrough. I would think that once I got the hammer (or is that a crowbar?) I would simply be able to knock the cop out. Kind of a strange thing to say, but in a horror game like this, anything goes. Everything has a fairly unique design and it seems as though CGI here in general is getting better.

[Freeway Fury]

Great fun

It was weird how I got 200 points for slamming against other cars, but that eventually killed me. It was really nice how I was able to drive off the road onto the grass and everything. I really admired the graphics in this, especially with how well the cars moved. When I jumped on to another car, it was hard to tell if I had died or not. I prefer using the smaller cars because that gives you more room to move around. There is also a lot of detail in this, which you would not expect in a road game.
