Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Newgrounds Bug Collab]

I thought these were paintings at first. I didn't realize they were actual bugs themselves. Strange, this came as something from my favorites, but I don't recognize any artists. Oh well, we've hit a world of beloved flashes lately. It was a bit too mundane. Well, at least it was unique.

I mean, these bugs did have pretty good designs. It was just a little boring. It's still great to know so many people took part in this. The graphics probably could have been better. This just wasn't a masterpiece for me.

[DEAD DETENTION #1 (Rescribbled)]

This was good, but it was very odd. I really should have paid more attention to the title. I thought it was going to turn into a school shooting. Eh, I've been looking at too much stuff by TheShadling. Zombies are awesome! The graphics were quite nice.

It did get kind of annoying. I appreciate all the effort put into it. It was like a series of minigames with cutscenes. It's also good with how mundane it is at first. You don't see a lot of stuff coming.

[The Gauntlet]

Hmm, that was a pretty good game. It was confusing with how you seemed to go to a different area each time. I appreciated how good the gameplay was. You really had to be fast with this. It was annoying how I was taken out by just one shot. The graphics were pretty good.

I liked the set up. Reality TV should always be mocked. It can be hard with how you're constantly moving. Wasn't I always collecting some of the debt? Eh, I don't want to sound whiny.

blit-blat responds:

Yeah, I don’t know how they manage to change the rooms around so quickly, especially when you run back the way you came! Some voodoo bullshit I tell ya!

And yeah, debt collection is hard, but doable, spend a little bit of cash after every run to keep it down!

[Frogfall]

Hmmm, this was a very interesting game. I simply have to recommend it for how original it is. I knew this would be hard. At least it was easy to understand. The music was pretty good too. It was like the game "Frogger".

Well, really only because of how it had a frog. There aren't that many frog games, I know. That's a weird color for a frog. It's also weird how you die simply from hitting the ground. I think frogs can survive that.

[Homestuck FreshJamz Collab]

15 years ago for "Homestuck"? I...can actually believe that. They've made literally thousands of comic strips in such a short time. These songs are really good. I got the secret medal and I have no idea how! I guess it's a good thing I can't tell you how to get it.

I remember when "Homestuck" first came here and people went nuts. It wasn't even really that popular. I loved the references here and there. It's fairly relaxing. May "Homestuck" live on forever.

[The Newgrounds KinitoPET Collab]

I'm not too familiar with this character. Still, it's interesting to see so many people come together for a collab. The best part was how simple it was. I thought it would be like short cartoons. I kind of wish they were. This was still pretty good.

I still keep finding new people in collabs. I thought I knew everyone here! Anyway, this was pretty impressive. Oh, you are told more about it in the description. This was just fine.

[Grot]

That was surprisingly good. I appreciate how you have those health balls everywhere. I will admit that I was confused as to how you couldn't jump. I'm glad you could still beat the level without doing that. This was like a "Doom" game. It was better than the game I just reviewed.

The title made it look like "Groot". You know, the "Guardians Of The Guardians" character? The enemies were very well designed. I liked how the powerups were these floating orbs. The graphics are very impressive.

[Lightning Katana - [Alpha]]

This was an enjoyable game, although it was pretty frustrating. The worst part was probably how I'm not used to games from this perspective. It's hard to keep up with the enemies. I'm glad the guys with the circles around them weren't always immune to the exact weapon you had. The animation was pretty good. The title is very nice too.

There were sometimes where I didn't know which angle to attack from. This really did move at lightning speed. I'm surprised at how hard it was to get a medal. It had some good sounds too. It's an enjoyable if difficult game.

[Politics.]

This was a very hard game to critique. I mean, it's just the same symbols over and over. it's just people farting out their faces. It reminds me of the "South Park" episode "How To Eat With Your Butt". It featured people with buttocks for faces. I didn't see any sh*t come out when they were sharting.

I do love the title, though. I just can't recommend it. It got annoying with how repetitive it was. Still, it did give a good representation of politics. Yeah, that was easily the best part.

[Bug Ball 3D]

I have to say that I was very surprised at how hard this game was. I had no idea how to get far. Luckily, I learned how to jump. It still didn't help me much. It wasn't really quite 3D. That first level was just torture.

You had to make a really long gap at the end. This was the first level! Well, I got a medal for trying at least. Press Z to select. I'm not sure if that's apparent at first.

it sounds like you played the medium or hard course first. you should play the easy course first, it teaches you the controls
