Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[GIMMIKO CLASSIC]

Wow, this was amazing! I just wish I knew how to get more hearts. I had no idea this game would be so much fun. It mostly works because of its simplicity. I love all the different kinds of enemies. Those guys looked like either masks or cookies.

It's hard to be motivated by a game without medals! I had no idea what the effects of the upgrades even were. All I knew it that they were helping me! I don't care if this game goes on forever. The music is fantastic too. This definitely earns its Daily Feature.

Tombdude responds:

I actually just added medals haha!

[RUN FOR THE HILLS! YOUR FAVOURITE NEWGROUNDS USERS ARE COMING FOR YOU!!!]

Well, that was pretty strange. It was just me shooting users over and over. I didn't like how one hit killed you. I thought it would be easier! Well, appearances are often deceiving. It was interesting, I guess.

It was annoying after a while. Well, I got a couple of medals. That's really enough for me. I still like how so many people contributed to it. It's a team effort.

migmoog responds:

Fresh pulled pork

[xuz flash game 1.0]

The animation was great, but I do have a major gripe with it. There was no sound! I mean, I knew there wasn't something wrong with my laptop. I heard the medals appear. It was still fun getting all these medals. That was the point!

If you want medals, then play it! I loved all the references to the other Newgrounds things. It was pretty good, just not that good. It was interesting to memorize what exactly I had done before. The title's fairly nice and meta.

s-zenmode responds:

yeah, i should have added sound
who knows maybe i might as well revisit this game, polish the animationwork, make it longer and more enjoyable with more suspense, add sound, etc for FF 2023

[Porb Dressup]

I'm not into dressup games. They just seem too silly. I could still enjoy this. Hey, RGPAnims worked on this! I have to review anything from the creator of "FulpWare". It's a decent little game for what it is. You do have creativity.

I do love "Dress My Babe V". Well, I think we can all understand why I like that more. I still thought this was very creative. It's hard to tell how they overlap. I don't know whether or not one thing goes on top of another.

[PICO'S BRAWL ARENA]

Aww, dang it! Another game where you can't play against the computer. It's just annoying with games here that only let you do that. I don't have a friend who will play that with me. This is still a great looking game. It takes you awhile to understand how to select everything.

It seems like yet another game like "Super Smash Bros.". That isn't necessarily a bad thing. This was still interesting. It just needed more players. We'll never run out of things to do with Pico. This might be our biggest holiday yet!

TheBlueHatted responds:

Actually, right beside each text that says "P1" and "P2" (on the bottom corners), there is a CPU button you can click with the player arrows to switch to an AI!
prob should make it a bit clearer lol

[Bandits & Barbarians]

I liked this game, but I will admit it wasn't that appealing. I just didn't like having to wait for opponents. I am still good at this game! I've won the games I've played. It just isn't that satisfying. You can always find new stuff for Pico Day.

Well, not always the best stuff. This was still something I would recommend for people with more patience. I wish I could see what my opponent was doing. Maybe it was too easy once I got playing. I can't complain about that!

larrynachos responds:

I added a minigame while you wait for opponents (its just flappy bird lmao but im thinking of adding multiple minigames to choose from), also there was a bug I fixed that was causing major matchmaking issues!

The matches not being satisfying might be a matter of poor level design. The first levels are my own, and I'm not super familiar with the intricacies of a good level, I just kinda slap stuff together. I'd like to see what you think a good level might be, maybe take a stab at the level editor?

Thanks for the feedback!

[Pee Man vs the Monkeys]

I guess I can see why this doesn't have as high a rating as some other games submitted for Pico Day. It actually did get pretty annoying. I wish I could move. I know it was supposed to be like "Space Invaders". It was just too long for a game like that. It was still playable.

RIP Ben Spurgin. I didn't know he was famous enough for a submission to be celebrated for Pico Day. This is still a good tribute. It just isn't the best out there. At least the monkeys aren't peeing on me.

[Tankmen: Story of Sepia (PICO DAY VER.)]

Well, that was a very strange game. It was mostly too easy. Happy Pico Day 2022! It was weird how the date was changed. Whatever, it's not a big deal. You should be able to get the medals.

There's only one episode? How bizarre. The graphics were okay. It just did very little for me. Maybe there should be a Tankman Day.

s-zenmode responds:

i made this in two weeks and i barely get an hour of development time in a weekday so epiosde 2 had to be scrapped so i could make it in time for PD

[Hadros]

Huh, that was a rather odd game. It's mostly because there's really nothing wrong with it. It's just kind of dull. I wish there was music. I did manage to learn about shapes in this. I knew what an octagon was from "Sesame Street".

At first, I thought it would be like Tetris. You know, I'd run out of time. There just wasn't much tension. Well, it was at least educational. You don't list the names on the medals.

rvh86 responds:

I didn't add any music on purpose because it's just a small puzzle, music would likely get repetitive, although maybe some simple background music would suit the game.

[quest of for the epic!]

That was too easy. I couldn't see any point in it. I got the medal. I'm not interested in the secret one. It can't be that good anyway. This was just an easy game.

I didn't understand the fart noises. It was just way too short. I didn't to have a lot more stuff to do. Well, it did get Daily Feature. I just don't see it.

TappyWara responds:
