Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Resident Evil Ebola]

I didn't know this would be an RPG. I am not a fan of those. I still liked this game. Damn, you got a lot of voice actors. Even DoctorStrongBad was a beta tester! The sprite work is amazing.

I just wish there weren't so many cutscenes. I know to expect that in an RPG. I was just hoping for a straight shooter. It's still great to look at. The order the story is told is weird, but it's still enjoyable.

MetaMike responds:

Well if you ever return to play it again rest easy knowing you can skip nearly all of them. Also that's one of the things I'm pretty happy about when it comes to part 2, now that the main characters and main plot is established I can get right into the action with part 2, it definitely won't be as cutscene heavy.

[Steam Heart]

This is the highest ranked submission for Ludum Dare 36 and it's not very hard to see why! I just loved every minute of this. There was always some great action going on. I played it until I beat it. You got used to the game pretty quickly. The graphics were wonderful.

I understand why everyone loves this. This should win an award! The sound effects are great. I love how you don't immediately die when you fall into the lava. That's a great touch!

[Every Man's Refund]

This was better than I thought. I guess it's mostly because the secret medals were quite easy to get. You just play the game normally. I know I've played something like this before. It could just be deja vu. The graphics are pretty good.

It is hard to really advance. Well, I got some stuff anyways! It could probably use more detail. I guess I'd have to comprehend it more. I still recommend it.

Skudge responds:

Thank you! I definitely could have polished it a bit more and added some actual tutorial stuff but I wanted to be done before the end of the month. Glad you like it!

[Beat Penny Bain's Fat Ass]

So uh, that's it? You just punch her a bunch (rhymes!) and then shoot her. It seems rather pointless. I mean, I enjoy mocking her as much as the next guy, but this just wasn't very smart. It was way too short. I still like this being apparently the first cartoon here to mock her.

She deserves it. Arguing over video games is a trivial manner and waste of time. She is pretty ugly. This doesn't hold up that well. At least we can all agree to hate her.

[1 Minute Personality Test]

I don't know what's going on. I believe I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to. No medals show up anywhere. I guess this is a good game. It's just hard to like because nothing shows up. The music is pretty good.

I like how you get a lot of choices. It's nice to be in a game where you have so much mobility. It's never to the point where it's silly. I understand my options. I just wish I could get medals.

[Panda Love]

This game was very impressive! It's mostly because I had no idea what would happen. It's so cool to see it being taken in this direction. I really don't know why the main character is a panda. It would have made as much sense with any other animal. I learned how to play this by sheer accident.

I love how simple and yet hard it is. I'm so glad you guys made front page for something! I really do love these games. I only wish the logo wasn't in the background. It's just so satisfying when you beat a level.

[[Concussion]]

This was quite an impressive game! My only problem was that it was hard to understand at first. I don't use many combos. Why do I raise a shield when I click "K" instead of kicking? Oh yeah, "K" for kick! This was a very cool game.

It's mostly because of the variety of enemies. I especially like the green blob things. I don't know how to beat those black ball things. Oooh, that sounds dirty. The sounds were great too.

genevrarose responds:

Haha, thanks a ton!
Glad you enjoyed it. To beat the 'black balls' ;) you need to jump up into the air and use an air attack with either J or K. May need to smack them a few times.

Glad you enjoyed. C:

[pepsi girl wheel of death]

I am surprised the rating isn't higher. I really do like how the Pepsi girl is hurt by other drinks. It really does make sense. It's probably one of the more creative assassin games. I like to hear her whine. It makes it all the more satisfying when she's hurt.

My favorite might be the V8 Splash. It's so nice to build up to that watermelon. She doesn't even seem to be killed by most of those. I'm glad you made fun of Wazzup. This was about the time it was annoying for everyone.

[Pound the Puss]

When I saw the name, I thought of something really dirty. It turned out pound was actually the cat's name. Then I played the game and thought it was too cute. Yep, it was obscene after all! the details weren't that good. It certainly got better.

I guess the setup of the game is really good. You really have no clue what will happen next. I didn't even know it would be about a cat. It's a puss in every sense of the word. Well, not in the cowardly sense.

OrangePylon responds:

That jerking back and forth in tone at the beginning was intentional, to lull the player into a false sense of comfort, and once they let their guard down, they're greeted with... puss.

Thanks for the nice review, friend! I appreciate it.
