Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Olivia The Demon Slayer]

I'm a sucker for games like this. I will admit that the animation wasn't particularly good. It was still a pretty good game. The best part was how unique the enemies were. It was very fun to see the screen just light up like this. Thanks for those useful specials!

The second boss was probably the most annoying. I didn't know if it was even possible for me to beat him! When in doubt, just keep on firing and firing. Well, that's automatic anyway. Nothing can ever beat "RaidenX" for me.

[ERASER]

This was a cute little game, but I had no idea how to play it at first. I thought you would just have to avoid the balls. Instead, you made something pretty unique. I could figure out what was going on just from the title. I thought there would be more levels. There really don't need to be.

The music was fairly nice as well. My best is a 74.33%. I'm impressed I even got that high. I'm glad this got frontpaged. While not wonderful, it's definitely nice to play.

[Ballies]

Damn, how long has it been since I saw that King.com logo? I remember it, but it was probably more than a decade ago! Anyway, this was an enjoyable game. I will admit that it got pretty frustrating. It seemed too slow on my computer. Oh, it was released in 2009!

That's why it has that King.com logo! Dang, this must set some record for longest time to be frontpaged! I wish there was a Guinness World Record for that! Ballies sounds rather dirty. I just didn't think it was amazing.

[Touhou Fake Invitation]

Wow, I got a score of 51 million! I can't believe this has so few views. It's a great representation of a Bullet Hell game. I've never played a Touhou fangame before. I know how popular it is. It was interesting to actually see some characters from it in action!

I am indeed familiar with Bullet Hell games. I'm glad to have seen this. It did indeed take me forever to load this. I had to use the same page numerous times to get it to finish. It's indeed worth it.

[Madness Clean Code]

Well, that wasn't great, but it accomplished everything it was supposed to do. I like how the very last one was easy. I didn't understand the s symbol at first. It took me awhile to realize it meant hold the button down for several seconds. I got all medals! It really wasn't that hard.

The last level earned its reputation as the hardest. There was no visible blood here. It did seem a little unlike Madness Combat. It's still quite enjoyable. Glad to finally end Madness Day 2024!

[Party Pooper]

Well, that was a pretty good game. Here are some instructions. Go to the outside and ask the guy up front for a Russian translating book. Go to the deck outside and talk to the Russian girl. She'll tell you how to make a sandwich. It's one slice of meat, one slice of cheese, one slice of meat, one slice of cheese, one slice of meat and sauce on top.

Go upstairs and give the sandwich to the guy on the left. Go through the door in the middle. Get the plunger and make sure not to step on any chips. That's as far as I got. I don't want to spoil it any further.

dude!!! how are we gonna sell strategy guides if you're giving the hot tips for free!

[Madness: Sierra Nevada (Halloween UPDATE)]

Well, I have to admit that this is indeed a very relentless game. It was indeed pretty annoying with how I died so quickly. Then again, this wasn't meant to be that easy. I couldn't quite get the hang of it at first. Here's what I found to be the best way to start under "Barrowed Wheels".

Go to the second area with the guy with the katana. Knock him out and then use the katana to kill more katana users. Carefully take on the guy with the gun. Eh, I could go on all day talking about how to beat the levels. Just do it slowly, okay?

[FRANKLIN’S BOUNTY DEMO]

This was one bizarre game. At first, it seemed like a flash submission. I mean, there weren't even cutscenes yet there was so much story going on. That could have been a movie submission on its own. I was amazed at these strange graphics. It's great to have Tom Fulp work on this!

Well, apparently, he was just the inspiration. The cutscenes just went on forever. I couldn't even seem to advance through them well. I probably need a faster computer to comprehend this. This was indeed an interesting game, but I just couldn't understand it.

JAM-POWER responds:

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback

(One thing I will say is that it’s a lil bit hard to understand what parts of the game you’re specifically talking about, like for example… when you say “I couldn’t even advance through them well,” do you mean like computer game lag? The game not having a Cutscene skip button?
I feel that doesn’t seem as specific enough so I could understand what you mean?

… but from my understanding, I’m assuming you mean the option to skip cutscenes? If that’s the case, I did go back in and added a skip button to the cutscenes, so that's been added :)

Like I said, I really appreciate your feedback a lot! The only reason I bring this up is because I really do care that I get your opinion as I wanna try my best to improve the game as much as I can, I just wanna make sure that I could actually understand your points so I could take note of it

(Also to give context, Tom Fulp was credited because he did give the greenlight to use the characters from Pico's School (Like Pico, Darnell, and Nene) in the game. so it was mainly giving him credit for that. Also he's just a really cool guy too lol)

Thanks again! :)

[Landmine Cube]

I thought this game was pretty good. I will admit it was pretty frustrating. You really had to pay attention to every little thing that was going on. You had to go very slowly with all of this. I was so tempted to go faster. It was nice to see such good graphics.

It's still a hard game. I like the design of this little guy. It was pretty colorful too. It just wasn't one of the best games ever. I can still see people enjoying it.

Thank you for the comment and the feedback

[DEAD DETENTION #3 (Rescribbled)]

Wow, this is a much more complicated game than it looks. I especially appreciate how there's so many different kinds of mini games. I had no idea what was coming up next. It did get pretty annoying. Maybe it could have been better drawn. You could say that about anything here.

Killing zombies can be quite complicated. You just have to use the broken bat every time. I guess that makes sense. The music's fairly good. While frustrating, it's still an enjoyable game.
