Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Snake Bubbles]

I don't like this game that much. I think it's mostly because it doesn't seem to have a point. I thought maybe you had to go to the door or something, but nothing happened. Maybe you have to eat a certain number of kinds of things? It didn't do too much for me. I found the design to be pretty bland.

I guess I haven't played a game like this in awhile. It's nice to look at something kind of different. I like the funny noise he makes when he hits the side of the box. It's sad when dying is the best part. The music was alright too.

[Castle Keeper]

This one didn't catch my eye too much. I think it was mostly because I couldn't really get a sense of what I was aiming for. It got a bit too redundant. The graphics didn't seem that good. With that all being said, I actually did like how you had a lot of allies. I don't even know how to upgrade.

Even the name is a bit too generic. I like how the 2 guys work, as in the guys who work when you press 2. You had a good amount of control too. That "Goblins and Gnomes" ad is starting to bother me. It seemed to be well paced.

[-Replica-]

I ended up liking this game, although it is pretty weird. I don't like it how it resets right after dying. That can get pretty annoying. Of course, I can just pause it right away. The music and sounds are quite good. I seemed to have the same score.

Is "01" supposed to be it? I would at least think you'd have the score of how many ships were on screen. There's another game here called "Replica". It doesn't have the - on the side though. How would you even say -?
