Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fortune Teller Thingy]

I didn't care for this because there wasn't much going on. I mean, it was just looking at cards that said the same things. Well, not exactly the same things, but you get the idea. I thought you'd at least be able to type in your questions. It's just too dull. Where's the music?

I guess it gives you what you should want. There's tons of music out there! I'm sure you can find some suiting this. I'm not a fan of Skullhead. Reminds me of "Animaniacs".

[Nightmare in The Woods - Ludum Dare 41]

This didn't have any sound on it. I'm pretty sure that was part of the game. I guess the artwork wasn't the worst. It just had little aim. It was just you running in one direction with random hazards. I've seen that before. I guess it was meant to be like a running and platformer game.

That's at least unique. It's not enough to save this. That girl kind of looks like Boo from "Monsters Inc". It's not enough to save it. It needs more.

[YOU LEFT ME.]

This was really weird. First, I went into this one browser and I heard audio, but no visuals. Then I went into this other browser and the opposite problem happened! I guess I'd rather have no audio than no visuals. This really was an artful game. It outranks all the other Ludum Dare games so well.

The artwork is great. This is really a fine world you've created for yourself. I just wish I could understand it. It's still a great game to admire. You are quite cultured.

[Toodee and Topdee]

Wow, I was so impressed by this! It's probably one of the best games I've seen in awhile. The music was great. This really did feel like two different styles put together. It looks like this was a great combo. I have played games of both genres.

Of course I have, I've typed thousands of game reviews! You really did get the feel of two worlds colliding. It makes for a great game. I don't know if Topdee is an official name for the genre.

Thanks! Toodee is supposed to be 2D and Topdee is... Top-down. Silly, I know.

[Soul Sword]

I wish I knew how often these Ludum Dare things took place. Well, they're not that popular anymore anyway. Neither is this website. I admit to not understanding the gameplay. I guess it was appropriate for the theme. You were at least mobile.

It seemed like I was just playing the same level over and over. At least this got recognized. I can always appreciate that. The pixellation really was nice. The enemies were pretty interesting too.

[Famous Paintings Parodies 10]

Wow, I was impressed at how hard this was! A lot of the times I just guessed. You obviously put a ton of effort into this. I got all the bonus ones done. Those were the easiest. I got 17 right.

Well, that's still technically a majority. Good enough. Of course, that would still be an "F". It's been long since I've taken tests. The music was as good as ever.

[Super Pico AllStars]

I was wondering why the rating was so low. It seems to have a good premise. Well, the execution is pretty poor. I didn't know this was a game at first, given the title. It's the only game with "All Stars" in the name. I guess the animation is pretty good.

It's just not rewarding. Dang, it's so sad seeing as how popular Pico was back in the day. It's practically nothing now. At least it was fun while it went on. The music was pretty decent.

[Escape Crazy Maze]

I admit that it is quite difficult as a maze. It certainly lives up to that description. Here's how you do it at first. Go right and then down and then right. Click the stone thing. Make the red thing point to the middle of the left.

Make the blue thing go to the downer right corner. Make the green thing go to the upper right corner. Make the yellow thing go to the downer left corner and get the key. Get the blue gem on the stone block in the middle right hand part. It's so complicated I'm done here.

[Pico Rising]

I thought this was just okay. It's mostly because there's so little detail. It's just an aerial shot with you shooting goth kids. I guess it was at least unpredictable. It was fairly easy to understand. It just amounted to little.

There were a lot of songs in this. It didn't seem that epic. Well, I didn't get very far in the game itself. He didn't seem to be rising much. Happy Pico Day 2018.
