Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Whooly - Lost Treasures]

Have there been other games in this? It's just that the way you use "Whooly" it seems like it's part of a series. Whatever it is, it's quite well done. It's mostly because it's simple to understand. I like just jumping around like standard platformers. I just really like those.

I do think the graphics could have been better. It didn't seem much like a video game, but more of a cartoon. I like how you don't die when you touch water, but it does slow you down. You have good jumping ability. I liked it even though it wasn't that memorable.

[RGB 2]

This was an adequate game. I did enjoy it, even though it wasn't that complicated. I didn't like it how you had so much time. It just didn't seem challenging that way. Not much else to say about the design. The sound was synched up well.

I don't know what RGB stands for. Oh, wait, now I do. The rainbow things were a pretty nice touch. While not great, it was feasible. It just seemed like a smooth game.

[Newgrounds' Illuminatimas]

Great to see Cyberdevil working on something. Dang, if only my drawings could be featured in something. I really like these drawings. There is always something different. The best I could do was find all of the skulls. The random references had me stumped.

Yeah, I'm only one away from finding the others in each category. Well, Merry Christmas Eve to you! All of you! You've made a wonderful (and frustrating) game. I can see why it was featured like this.

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

It's Christmas day for me, now! I think Cyberdevil keeps an eye out for these types of activities, and even hosts them, so it's a good idea to get involved whenever you see an opportunity.

Oh, and merry Christmas!

[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.
