Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[McPixel Xmas Special]

Yes, this was one very weird game. I thought I just had to kill someone? I got past the first level mostly through luck. You do make it easy to understand, though. The sprite work is nicely done. I thought this was made by poxpower at first. It seems like the kind of thing she would work on.

The music is pretty good. I don't like it how it keeps going on like that. You should be able to select levels. At least it got me in the Christmas spirit. It takes awhile to figure this stuff out, though.

[Flying Pigs]

I found this to be quite a good game. It wasn't as hard as you made it out to be. What did annoy me was when the teleporting came out. I appreciate how good the graphics are. It is not one of my favorites, though. Flying pigs never get old.

Hey, we've released Duke Nukem Forever! That guy's voice is kind of annoying. There's always something new for him to discuss in a level. I will admit that the overall concept is pretty funny. Everything's laid out in a fancy manner.

[D.O.E.S]

I love how you reference the ad. Those things are annoying! Well, it looks like most people thought this was okay and I agree. Yeah, I am using this on a mouse. I still like it. Of course, I never was that good at these kinds of games.

If I used a mouse, I would probably like it more. It actually DOES seem to be well detailed. Thank you so much for the trying medal. Merry early Christmas, I guess. I don't know how to get ahead in this.

Surn responds:

Merry Christmas to you too! The trying medal allows a glimpse at who at least tried the game. Kinda like spying!

[Jet Gunner Mini]

Well, I managed to get through the first boss/level and I got no medal. Well, maybe it will show up later. I really do like this game. It plays a lot like a standard platformer. You still manage to be really cool in your own right. It seems that something that would appear on a Game Boy.

Again, that's not an insult. Damn, that was a long time ago. The music is nice and lets you know what's going on. The name is pretty cool too. Shooting stuff in platformers is often nice.

SinclairStrange responds:

Just to say, you did get the medal, I just don't enable the pop-ups as they often get in the way of the action. :). Yeah, it's just a standard platformer, but I wasn't really trying anything special with this one, just something quick and easy :) Glad ye enjoyed it! :)

[OrbAttack]

While the gameplay wasn't that great, I did appreciate this. I didn't know you could press space like that. I thought the object of the game was just to stay away from the red balls. Well, that would have been too cowardly. The music is really good too. Colors always work well.

I don't know what a lot of these powerups do. My favorite is when you plan mines. It's so nice when the game does the work for you. It's even a pretty original idea. A bit too generic of a title, though.

[Ball Click Mayfest]

I admit that this game is better than I thought. I admit that it does seem really unfair at times. All in all, it was still quite good. The music was nice and stylized. I liked how I got more hits than I thought. It was hard to tell with how fast they were going.

It's nice to have bright colors. You put a good vibrance in this. There was certainly variety. While not that memorable, still good. The backgrounds are cool too.

[Paccoland]

I thought the animation in this was just subpar. Apart from that, it was a good game. I'm glad you could get Pac-Man like features. It was also nice to see you gradually damage the blocks. I guess the little things just made it. It's nice to have so much mobility.

I really lost it at the level with the arrows. There must be something with the switch I can do. I appreciate the music. It has a nice tone to it. I'm glad it's at least somewhat popular.

[Batman Rock 'Em Sock 'Em]

I thought this was just an okay game. It was mostly just the same stuff over and over. I guess it did have kind of a cute appeal. It was really nice to see the funny designs. I do recognize most of these. It was nice to hear that music too.

It was just too dull. At least there was nothing too offensive about it. There should have been more details about the gameplay in the author comments. I just pressed every button and landed some hits. Nothing memorable.

[Hazard 2]

I liked this better than the first one. I think that was really only because I was better at it. I have simply gotten used to this gameplay. The colors are nice. It is fun to just blast around everywhere. Title's a bit too generic though.

The music is fairly good. I remember that coin sound. That's what it's supposed to be like, right? The levels seem to be the same as some of those in the first one. Difference is I'm more skilled here.

[Mk5]

This was better than I thought it was going to be. I think the best part is how you did make it unique. It still wasn't great, though. The graphics really took away points. It just seemed a bit too shoddy. I still like the overall setup of this game.

I didn't know that the beams would stay on screen. I am actually glad they did, because otherwise, it would be too easy. It's quite fun to just hover around. Sometimes, it seems like I hit some beams and I lived. Of course, I die later anyway.
