Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[5 min without TV !]

I liked this game, mostly because it was easy to understand. Reading the comic was quite easy too. I admit to being confused as to how it was like Tetris. I thought you were supposed to eliminate the pieces at first. I should have read what it said! I got 32 meters.

It's weird how we don't use the metric system. I can go for years without TV as I have the Internet! It was funny to see the frog's legs grow like that. It says, "Exploit mecanic". I think you mean "mechanic".

Dominoobscure responds:

Yeah I think the goal should be more explicit you're not the first one to bring up that point... (And no 'Exploit mechanic' is written just fine 👀)

[Character Select Collab]

I think Badgerpelt might have been my favorite. Ash looks like Huntress Wizard from "Adventure Time!". Tunkman had one long description. I didn't think this would be particularly good with how it just described characters. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much detail was put into it. You could really tell with the gifs.

They were of different styles. That may have been the best part. I just wish there was music in it. This was so much for just descriptions. I guess most picture collabs are like that anyway.

Thank you! :)

[Help! I'm Trapped on The Torment Trapeze]

Yeah sorry, but I couldn't really get into this. I mean, it was confusing with seeing your past selves dying. At least I got the map. It would take me a long time to really get used to it. I don't have that kind of patience, at least not for this. It just isn't my thing.

I can still appreciate it for being unique. I do like the setup. It's interesting to be able to just fly around like that. Well, it's more falling with style. Yes, I love "Toy Story".

[Advent Chickendar 2024]

Dang, this was sweet! I was impressed at how many medals there were to take on. I had to carefully go over each and every one to get them all. It's just hilarious to see all these weird looking chickens. Everyone knows chickens are funny. I loved seeing N. Tropy on the first one.

They're all secret medals, so I shouldn't give any hints on how to get them. This is my favorite in the Chickendar series. I don't see how this could ever get surpassed. How did I miss reviewing this the first time around? It gets a perfect score! Thanks for how goofy it is!

[Rumbleweed]

I have to admit this was more challenging than I thought. I believed it was just a standard game where you moved around and shot stuff. It turned out to be a lot more complicated. You couldn't really control the tumbleweed to move with the gun in one direction. You had to move around at the right angle. Still, this does boast of a creative setup.

You had to be patient with this. You can destroy things at just the right angle. A tumbleweed protagonist is a pretty original concept. The sounds sync up quite well. I would recommend it.

[Driven Wild]

I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of this game. I didn't know how to get any medals. I still appreciate it for how straightforward it is. It's nice to have a game where you can easily drive. Some of the hairpin turns do get annoying. The graphics could have been better.

The music was pretty good. I'm so sorry everyone else loves this. It just doesn't come off as too unique for me. It was hard to get motivated. At least there were good details.

[12 Vengeful Ghosts]

Yeah, that's a classic indeed! Anyway, this was quite hard. I couldn't seem to be able to phase for a long enough time. I completely forgot I could do that! It was still okay. If one of them is defeated, shouldn't the whole jury not be able to work?

Anyway, the picture was just way too big. I could barely find the proper way to see the whole thing. It just seemed too complicated. More skilled gamers should like this. Wait, I am a skilled gamer!

DecadeDecaf responds:

By "phase," do you mean dodge? You're able to directional dodge by pressing X while moving! I'm sorry that the picture was too large for your monitor. What's a good resolution to embed my games in the future?

Thank you for the comment!

[Slasher Click 2: The Tale of Magawa]

I thought this game was pretty good. I will admit the graphics weren't that great. They needed to be detailed better. Still, it was a pretty original concept. I liked how you didn't have to challenge your enemies to a fight. It didn't take you to some new location.

You just thought them as they came. It became less of an RPG like that. I'm not the biggest fan of RPGs. It was a pretty strange setup. It could have used better graphics, though.

[Chess Force]

At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to advance much, but I got three medals! What a funny coincidence. I was just going through an old game from you guys. I thought this would be just like a chess game. I'm glad it wasn't. I don't like chess!

I'm glad it was a shooting game. There were some annoyances, like how you had to beat a boss to get upgrades. Still, it's a very fun game. I really do like how the shooting is automatic. More games should be like that.

[The Toybox Collab]

Dang, this is the biggest collab in the history of Newgrounds! Seriously, I don't see what could surpass it! I was hoping it would be something like short cartoons or drawings. Well, I guess it technically was drawings. Everything is technically a drawing here! The format was good, but I wasn't able to play the game that well.

I couldn't control how to bring the claw down. I just had to experiment with it. I was afraid I'd get the same toy twice. I don't know if that was even possible in the game. While I didn't think it was great, it's still definitely worth checking out.

you can't get the same toy twice! I thought that would be annoying
