Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jane's Hotel]

I found this to be a pretty standard game. What I did not like about it was how it didn't have that much variety. It seems like it's been awhile since I've played a good game like this. I really don't play many that are about hotels. I'm glad that's kind of original. It is a little boring, though.

I like how you do try to make it realistic. I just came back from several hotels, so I know what they're like. Heck, most people do. The sounds and colors were pretty good. I thought this was not bad.

[Barnyard Balloon]

I think this is quite an underappreciated game. While the graphics could be better, I still had quite a bit of fun with this. I was interested to see how it would get harder. Most of these levels you just easily pass or easily fail. That was pretty interesting.

Cows are just funny. I'm not sure if dogs qualify as barnyard animals. Well, let's not get into that. I liked how good the music was. You got a good clear shot of everything that was going on. It's a pretty cute name too.

[Timebot v1.1]

I did in fact like this game. I really do like these kinds of time travel games. I can understand why people like that in fiction. You were really able to create your own gameplay with this. Needless to say, it eventually reached a part where I could not continue. Then again, I think most games are like that.

I thought the sounds were quite good. I had no idea there was a finite number of times I could time travel. I guess most of those guys are going to lose anyway. The name is pretty cool too. I guess the other versions will be better.

[Skyscraper Defense]

At first, I thought it might be too easy. It was truly anything but. It was fun to be able to shoot the actual ammo that was coming towards you. Without that, the game would have been unbeatable. It is a bit unique for a defense game. I still would most likely not recommend it. It could have more detail.

I guess it isn't that bad when it's easy to understand. That's kind of a double edged sword. While I like things that are easier to understand, that also shows that there's not too much effort put into it. The sounds weren't bad. Yes, I was reminded of 911.

[Phit]

This was yet another game hurt by the fact that there was no music or sounds. I knew it wasn't something with my laptop. The best part about it was probably how it was so simple. Of course, it was also a lot more complicated than you would imagine. I liked how it was spelled differently. It wasn't too much fun not knowing the exact shape I needed.

I still appreciate how it was a bit different. I guess there could have been more detail. I noticed this was one letter away from a swear word. I kind of doubt that was intentional. I guess it just comes off as bland in too many areas.

[The Gilded Seal]

I guess there was nothing that bad about this game. That also means there was nothing too good about it. I think it seemed way too short at first. I mean, the intervals when the lasers stopped was too short of a time. It was kind of like it was rigged. It was kind of interesting when it was fairly difficult.

It's still not something I would recommend. There were not sounds in this. That's something you should always have in a game. I don't think I would give a 5 star rating to any game that had no sounds at all. I guess it's overall harmless.

[Horse Rancher]

I think there could have been some more sounds in this. There was just music and not much else. I was never really a fan of these pet games. Geez, I didn't know you had to whip your horse so many times. I still DON'T want to become like PETA. The music wasn't bad.

I couldn't understand the point of a lot of it. It just seemed like it was the same racetrack over and over. I never got to see my horse eat or anything. I guess the graphics weren't bad. Again, there was nothing that good about it.

[A Kitty Dream]

Well, I have reached a point where I can not advance. It was pretty fun while it lasted. I didn't understand what it was all about. I do like the notion of cats dreaming. This is his dream, right? I found the graphics to be pretty good.

While I couldn't get that far, it was good from what I was able to do. I like how you can save the game like that. Of course, that's an indicator it's going to take awhile before you can get that medal. The music was really soothing. In case you're wondering, I'm typing this review in a hotel in front of ocean waves.

Raiyumi responds:

Thanks. And lucky you! I'd like to go out traveling sometime. :)

[Kebab Van]

I didn't find this game to be that fun. It reminded me of games where you put pizzas together for people. They were more fun. While it was a bit unique, it wasn't anything that good. I couldn't understand how people were exploding. I guess the exploding was cool.

The sounds and drawings were fairly good. It just doesn't add up to much. At least it was clear to understand the instructions. Kebab is just a funny word. I only know of the shish kind.

[Mind-Breaker]

My computer for some reason could not process this game. I tried putting it in lower resolution, but that did not work either. It just seemed too difficult to really care about. I refreshed the page and that did not do anything either. I'm thinking it's just an old game? I admit that the design is pretty good.

It is fairly unique, but then again, I'm not that good at puzzle games. The music was fairly decent. It was weird to really understand it. I didn't know a game this far back had medals! I think this is the oldest one (next to Domo-Kun's Angry Smashfest!) that I've come across.
