Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico Untamed]

Wow, that was great! My expectations weren't really held that high! This was a great pleasant surprise! It was great to see an actual Pico related submission too! You know how to create a fun game. I'm generally not into point and click ones.

This is my favorite submission for this year's Pico Day. You should be able to find the medals on your own. There's some great animation too. I just wish the screen wasn't so big. Happy Pico Day 2023 for reals!

TrickWithATwist responds:

This really means a lot to me because I tried really hard to improve on my game dev skills after the last review you left on one of my games so I'm super happy you liked this! :)))

[Pico-Cross Collab 2023]

I have to admit that I was skeptical of this right off of Level 1. I'm so glad it was a very enjoyable game! You really did pay tribute to this website! All of you! I do wish every level had different pictures. This is still wonderful.

What a unique way to show off your art. It was weird to include the tutorial as a separate thing. The reveal of the first level was quite funny. I'm so glad to welcome newer characters like Satina. She's my favorite new addition!

[Charge Newgrounds!]

I have to admit this wasn't very entertaining. The graphics looked kind of shoddy. It was also too easy. The only real challenging part was the tank on Level 1. Happy Pico Day 2023, I guess! This just came off as a bit weak.

There wasn't that much interesting going on. I didn't even need to use the tutorial. I was immortal. A Pico game would have been better. This was just nothing too unique.

[ARFENHOUSE SHOPPING RAMPAGE]

That is honestly a name that I haven't heard in a long time. Happy Pico Day 2023! I thought we were really going to have a bust this year. Instead, we got a lot of stuff! I have no idea which characters to avoid are. It's fun for stuff to blow up. "Arfenhouse" was a great cartoon series.

This should be in the collection. I think the series ran its course. I really have no idea what's going on at all here. That's how it probably should be. Piakachu is my favorite.

NevaZ0r responds:

Ya need to avoid Don Flamenco, Amy, Billy and the wrecking ball.
Im really glad people still remember Arfenhouse lol

[Package Man]

Uh, Happy Pico Day? I couldn't get into this much. It was basically just the same thing over and over. I had to log in to get achievements. I hope I don't have to do that for every game from now on. This was just kind of boring.

You needed to have more going on. The artwork was pretty bland. Still, this had something going for it. Happy Cinco De Mayo? There's been a lot of smaller holidays recently.

FluffiOwl responds:

I've never been wished two different happy holidays in a single post before. Bless. #tooblessedtobestressed 🙏

[Mya's Pizza]

This game was just okay. I admit I didn't know how to click on the skateboard to upgrade it. I don't know why a rat is delivering pizzas. Oh, because they contain cheese I guess. Well, rats aren't even attracted to cheese. Mya's an odd name.

I guess with the "M" it's a mouse. I'm using a laptop. I don't even have a mouse! That's such a lame joke. You're way more talented than me in that respect.

[42 blocks in 7 and one-half minutes]

Yeah, I hated this game because I wasn't quite good at it. At first, I thought you just had to jump. I'm glad I looked at the instructions. First review! Wait, has anyone said that here before? People mention how annoyed they are at "First" comments all the time here.

I guess we don't have a rule for that. I remember Aasvi Mandvi's voice! I hate him for appearing in "The Problem With Apu". I didn't know which buildings I could land on. This deserves its low score.

[Boxbrawl Delivery]

This was an very enjoyable little game. It was extremely authentic to the original "Donkey Kong" game. I mean, everything looks just like it did. I didn't even play that game much. It was indeed about delivery. Oh, we're out of Mario movie jokes?

It wasn't a brawl. Now if this was combined with "Super Smash Bros", THAT would be even better. I thought you could jump on the enemies. They're little Mousers. I know this will be the best Ludum Dare submission.

[Slasher Click]

Yeah, this wasn't for me. I've played a lot of RPGs that were much more fun. This was just seemed too repetitive. I wanted an actual playing field. The designs weren't very creative. I was at least motivated to go on.

I had no idea we'd get so many of these submissions for Flash Forward 2023! It's like Flash never left. You need a more interesting environment. I thought it would be like a slasher movie. It was at least an okay setup.

Kwing responds:

I don't really understand what you're saying. It's visually repetitive? The gameplay is repetitive? The visual designs are uncreative? The game design is uncreative? What does an "actual playing field" mean?

[Cargo Truck Racer]

Well, this was kind of a mixed bag. I mean, the graphics were fantastic! They were truly amazing! I was impressed at how a game like this could even do that. It was just too hard. I didn't know why hitting a cone would blow up your truck.

It was certainly challenging. I'm glad you didn't get a medal for not losing any cargo. I could never get that one! I NEVER need to speed up with this. I appreciate everything the work put into the graphics at least.
