Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stay Indoors]

I'm sorry, but I didn't care much for this. The graphics weren't very impressive. They just needed to be more detailed. I guess I should have stayed indoors. The author's comments were too lengthy. It just didn't come off as rewarding.

I still appreciate how it was kind of unique. I seem to say "unique" a lot in these reviews, huh? It was at least appropriate for Halloween. I couldn't be motivated to get very far. The rating's still pretty high.

Chris responds:

Thats fair.

The reason the graphics are as simple as they are is because the game is intended to look and play like a ZX Spectrum game. Which was an early home computer that allowed a very small palette of 15 colours and out of that palette only 2 colour could be displayed within an 8x8px block (this includes the background colour).

This further ties into the story that accompanies the game in the Author’s Comments. The story is a meta history of the game which pretends that it is a real game from the 1980s. I felt it added extra depth to the game and was a novel way to offer hints on the game. I completely appreciate that this may not be to everyone’s tastes though.

[TapTapBOOM]

This was really a great game! I loved how you added more stuff like moveable boards. I didn't know there'd be explosive devices either. Well, in addition to the ones you could use. I know there's a walkthrough somewhere I can always look at. I was waiting for it to get more complicated.

Boy, were the medals easy to understand. You beat a level and that was it. The music was very nice too. Even the title's nice. It deserves its recognition.

[Pokemon Variance Collab]

I have to admit that I was quite impressed by this. The number of drawings was huge. I liked how you could make a sparkling effect. I still don't follow any of you people. I don't know why this appeared under latest from the people I followed. I don't follow any of you!

I thought this would be like a remake of the original pokemon games. It was still wonderful. I'm going to have to play some of those myself someday. The colors were so nice. It's amazing how much of a positive influence pokemon has been on us.

Maybe why this appeared in your feed without following any of us could be because you can see the latest uploads of users followed by your friends (that's an option you can change in the feed settings)

[Twigi's Twisted Costumes]

I thought it said "Twigi's Twisted Christmas" at first. I'm glad it was a Halloween cartoon. It was also a Dress-Up Game. I haven't played one of those in a long time. They're usually pornographic. This was pretty cute.

It was just costumes more. I don't know who this character is. Well, it's obviously Twigi, but I know nothing about her. It's a her, right? The drawings are indeed rather nice.

Nebulate responds:

Lol we arrent in x-mas season yet (even tho the stores says so). And yeah, we wanted this game to stand out from other dressup games out there and sutch with the voicelines and sutch.

As for Twigi the character: Twigi is a they/them just so you know that (i dont blame you for interpreting differently). And they are a kid that likes to dress up and sutch (they also like burgers alot).

[Rabbitball]

Wow, I loved this game! I wasn't expecting to see something so good to play this time! It was amazing how there were always new things going on. I had to keep more than one button pressed at a time. I guess I'm just not used to that. It was very nice looking.

Maybe not the greatest, but definitely awesome! This is a cute little rabbit. I hope this gets recognized. It was a unique game for me. Trust me, I've played thousands.

[DEAD DETENTION #4 (Rescribbled)]

I was pretty impressed at how long this game went on. It wasn't quite a visual novel. There was a lot of interaction here and there. The hardest part was easily hitting the notes. You really had to keep on working with that. It was interesting to see what item you'd need next.

I still would have wanted more actual fights with the hockey stick. You know, with you directly controlling the stick. It was still a good entry into this series. The artwork is as nice as ever. Those clicking sounds are good too.

[Color Maze]

Thank you for showing us the gameplay of the first couple of levels. At first, I thought this would be really hard. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to go back to the previous parts you colored. I'm so glad you could in fact go there. It was just nice to see you shake the sides of the room. I was thinking it would be destroyed depending on how many times you hit it.

I'm glad that it wasn't. Or would it eventually? The music was great too. Who knew coloring could be so epic? It deserves its high score.

[Anzu Castle Gracula]

Well, I guess I was indeed motivated to play this, but dang was it hard! I thought I obtained a subweapon. It was annoying with how the enemies reformed. Anyway, it was still playable. I wanted to be able to continue! The enemies just kept on coming. It really was a huge game.

It was quite authentic to "Castlevania". The graphics were especially authentic. The music was alright. I guess it was technically addictive, as I wanted to keep going on. It was just very difficult.

[Help Me Clean My Kitchen!]

Well, this was a very odd game. I still ended up enjoying it. I just had no idea how to really win. I clicked on stuff as fast as I could. Everything kept saying I couldn't click on it more. That being said, I did enjoy this. It was very nicely animated.

I could only get the bad ending. It was fun to see these things just fix themselves by pressing one button. This game was quite short. I couldn't really say it got hard. It was just hard to get a passing score.

[Sally's House]

Dang, there's too many jams to list. I do like the atmosphere a lot. I'm still not into point and click adventure games. I was wondering why the screen didn't fit. I had to enlarge the screen. What I mean is that it didn't show the whole screen at once.

By enlarging the screen, I could see parts that weren't part of the actual game. I was confused by the controls. It was hard for me to get far. Well, people don't want me to tell how I got far in this game. I didn't anyway.
