Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Keep It In! 3]

I didn't even know how to play the game at first. You'd think it was something I'd just figure out on my own! I appreciated the great idea, though. It's certainly original, but it is very hard. I started the game and got a medal! The animation was pretty good.

It didn't need to be too complicated. It just got frustrating! You have to really take a while to get used to this gameplay. You still deserve credit for an original idea. I couldn't quite recommend it, though.

St4rryQueen responds:

I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy it at first. Is there anything I could do to improve the game?

[Blue Vortex]

Well, I'm not good at this game, so I certainly couldn't recommend it. I just wish it was easier. I mean, the graphics are pretty good. I guess I just had to have the mouse exactly in the hole. It got more complicated than I thought. It seemed like it would be easy.

I didn't even know what obstacles would appear. Well, that was just the first few seconds. I'd go crazy if I had to win this medal. I guess I could suggest that it be easier with fewer obstacles. That wouldn't be fair for better players.

Mantis1 responds:

Thanks for the review! The mouse doesn't have any hitbox/collision. You have to make the camera dodge the obstacles, not the mouse.

[Lich King's Gauntlet]

This game was pretty good. I admit it was kind of annoying. I didn't really know how to fire at the enemy. I understood it pretty quickly after awhile, though. I still got pretty far. I guess the animation could have been better.

I didn't get far enough to see the Lich King, though. I think "Adventure Time!" had the best Lich. The dash part was easily the best ability. I thought it would be like an RPG where you took turns. It was probably better this way.

[Kart Kollab]

Wow, this was very odd. I thought it would be a racing game. Instead, you just observed everything. The best part was easily the !? button. I'm not even going to spoil what happens when you press it. It was very unique for a collab.

I'm sad to say I haven't heard of most of you people before. I'm not following any of you. I mean that literally. I'm not following the drivers. It's still worth watching and interacting with.

Chdonga responds:

That's what rocks about collabs; finding cool people to check out

[Portal Patrol]

This game was very enjoyable! I will admit that it's very difficult. How do you run out of ammo for a knife? Anyway, Pico was probably the best character. You could have used more unique enemies. I don't know where those purple guys came from.

I like the music a lot. You rarely get that many songs for something. Happy Pico Day indeed! I'm glad this won some kind of award. It was quite an enjoyable game.

Tyler responds:

Think of it as you need more kitchen knives to pick up lol

Thanks!

[Citizen Pico: Pico's School IV]

I assume the title was a reference to "Citizen Kane". Well, the rating is quite high. I just don't think it's on the level as "Citizen Kane". I missed the second and third Pico's School entries. This was one weird game. It went nuts when an alternate version killed Pico.

I thought it was "Game Over" after that. Instead, it was part of the story! I didn't know Darnell and Nene were supposed to die. I got a medal, but I guess I shouldn't tell anyone how. I've never heard of Dr. Schmuck before.

Kolumbo responds:

it's a reference to the Troma movie "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avengr IV" which in itself is a reference to Citizen Kane. Fun fact, Tom Fulp appears in Citizen Toxie - definitely worth a watch if you like over the top gore and bodily fluids. Another reference to Trome is the poster on the left in Pico's room!

Glad you find it went nuts at that point, as that's this game's equivalent to the shooting event from the first - so it was supposed to go all wacky after that moment!

Dr. Schmuck is great - you can find his toons over on PukeBomb

[Heroes of Pico's School]

Wow, what an awesome game! It's great to have something like this make you use so much strategy. I was impressed at how complicated it was. It seemed like I just got lucky most of the time. People don't seem to like it when I give out instructions in my reviews. This music was great.

For some reason, this couldn't load straight at first. I don't know what the problem was. Happy Pico Day 2024! I have officially gotten into the mood for these games! There's always new ways to adapt this story.

[Pico Clicker (Pico Day 2024)]

Oh, I get it. You had to buy the clicks. It wasn't just something automatic. Pico looks pretty off model here. It's like he has a giant chin that sticks out to the side. The music had some nice variety.

I admit I don't really care about these kinds of games. It's literally just clicking. Still, it featured Pico, so I guess it's appropriate. The medals were certainly simplistic. Then again, so was everything in the game itself.

[TIREHEAD]

Short? Yeah, this was indeed very short, but it was still very hard! I mean, I had no idea how to get that far. I still appreciated how hard this was. You really just had to mess with everything. Why'd it take so long for this to get frontpaged?

How odd. Well, it's far more challenging than you think. Sometimes, I think I'm just lucky. It definitely got annoying, but I'm glad it was short. I think it really does deserve its high score.

[Crunky's Fun Rager]

I know that I killed over a hundred of these things. I guess the medal was killing over a hundred of them in one game. That was a lot harder! I admit that it got annoying with how hard it was for such a monotonous game. I do like the gameplay itself. It's very interesting, but not the most enjoyable.

I guess it was interesting to look at. I collected the red coins, lasted over a minute, etc., but got nothing out of it! Even the "Medium" seemed ridiculous. I don't think I've ever encountered a game where it was this hard to get a single medal. You had to lose points for that.
