Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness: The Battering]

Well, this was an odd game. I didn't even know how to read the instructions. The enemy seemed to take too long. I didn't know what to click when I was getting new recruits. I won one match by not even beating the enemy! All the medals are secret, so I can't spoil them.

I can tell you that there's no medal for losing a match. This was still a game that I got better the more I played. I wish the violence was more graphic, though. I wish I had noticed earlier that it said my name on the top of my team. I was just never into card games.

[[BURNOUTS]:Tower Of Power]

I hate to say this, but I didn't think it was good. It wasn't even that playable. It was just kind of boring. I expect games like this to be better animated. It was hard to understand how to beat that third boss. I wasn't even sure if that was the third floor.

It was just kind of bland. I guess people who are more into RPGs might like that. I couldn't do anything with my attacks on the third boss. I could only get in one hit. It just isn't a rewarding game.

FCPXAV responds:

There's a trick to beating the third boss, try using the new ability you learn at the beginning of the fight!

[Elephant Rave 2]

Dang, I don't even remember the first one. This was quite fun. I admit the "Achievement Unlocked" series was much better. It's still nice to see this elephant again. Here I was thinking it was pink elephants that were weird. Now it's blue!

I was bored at first because I thought it would just be the same screen. I'm so glad that it changed! It ended up being quite challenging. You have really no idea what's going to happen next. It isn't too hard either.

[Bullet Bunny]

It was hard for me to get into this, mostly because it was too hard! I mean, it just wasn't rewarding! Well, it was still okay. I didn't know how to work up credits. How did I go back to using the pistol?

I had to refresh the page for that. This was at least tolerable. It's still an interesting setup. These guys look exactly like gremlins. I didn't even notice he was a bunny.

[Spider Collab]

I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed by this. I mean, it was basically just a bunch of drawings. Honestly, I think the best part was the music. I mean, it really was fascinating. I thought this would be a game where you smashed spiders. It had medals after all!

Happy Labor Day weekend or whatever! It's a rather odd collab. I thought it was weird how you couldn't just press the same button to go back to the original size. Well, I should be used to the Escape button. It seems like this would be more appropriate around Halloween.

Thetageist responds:

Based on what I read in the original post, the idea was to make it pre-Halloween hype. (Is that right, @fe1l1ngsk1lledd?) A lot of art collabs also do simple viewers like this, especially if the organizer is primarily an artist and can't code a lot, though more complex methods of including all the entries are definitely appreciated.

[Coglab]

Wow, that was weird. It wasn't even really a game. It was just me clicking things. I thought there'd be a reward for clicking everything. I don't believe there was. I clicked on my first icon and I think what's what the geraffe one was about.

This was still enjoyable. I do like seeing these all together. You really did want to make something unique. It just made no sense to me. Oh well, it's still quite nice.

Quest responds:

Honestly, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either, but I feel like that's the charm of it. Seeing everyone's gears all working together in one chaotic machine really is beautiful.

[OneBit Adventure]

This was a good game, but it wasn't quite that original. It probably could have used more colors. I was really annoyed at how you had to click to move. I'm sooo glad you could just use the arrow keys. The music was alright. I couldn't quite understand how to beat the enemies.

Well, it's obvious you just hit them. That can get a bit redundant. This was still enjoyable. Achievements that don't appear as medals here? Unheard of on this website!

[Waha's Robot Daze]

I appreciate how well put this was. I don't know if there were any prizes for Robot Day 2023. It seemed like there should be. This was a nice little game, but it got annoying with the Tetris bits. I mostly just had to play with everything I could to win. I would have to train more.

The artwork was quite nice. Explosions are really cool. I like how every part was unique. Well, not the Tetris like part. Happy Robot Day 2023!

[Chroma Wheel]

That was a satisfactory game indeed! Granted, that's only really because it was so easy. I mean, I thought it would escalate a lot quicker. For that alone, I liked it. You understood everything perfectly. It did get a bit boring.

Well, it was still pretty unique. I just wish for more mobility. Like, maybe I could move the circle around the screen. It's hard to ask to improve on something so easy for me. I just wished for a greater challenge.

[Mine Your Way Out 2]

I loved seeing the gameplay. I couldn't tell if you could ever reach the top. I was annoyed at how the pickaxe was so slow. I was sooo glad to find out the UFO was so fast. Seriously, I was blown away at how much faster it was. It's just very satisfying to play.

I still don't quite know how to use more materials. Hey, I get gold. What do you need more than that? The simplicity works well. I'm still not good at crafting, though.
