Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oroboros]

I truly enjoyed this game, but it was a bit weird to me. I thought it was too easy. I never once had any trouble with where my tail was. I'm thinking it could be some kind of glitch? I still love the graphics in this. The designs are just so wonderful here. It reminds me of a hydra.

Yes, I know what hydras are (the organism, not the mythical creature). The artwork is so well done in this. The powerups are nice too. While not the greatest, still worth looking at. The sounds seem to fit it quite well.

[The Contraptor]

As far as looking games go, I thought this wasn't bad. Its main fault was that it was hard to get into. I don't even know what a capillary thing looks like. You do deserve credit for having some fine detail. It's too bad this this is so unpopular. The music was pretty good.

I guess looking games aren't very popular around here. It's always nice to look at something new, anyways. I didn't want to look at hints. I'm too good a gamer for that! Well, at least this seems to fulfull its purpose well.

[denudation]

I really did like this game a lot, but it did not make much sense to me. I could tell that I got more powerful as it went on. It seemed like I beat the level, but that was apparently the whole game. As I already beat it, I'm not too eager to look for more stuff. I didn't even encounter one enemy. I got the secret ending, I guess?

It really is a creative game. It was interesting to see how you had so much power over your environment. It was fun just to see those blocks rise towards you. I don't even think your grabbing power got any stronger with that. It was a great game for Ludum Dare.

[Fate Machine 1.0]

Wow, I can see why this won Underdog Of The Week award. It really did seem like something that was overall bad but good in some places. I thought it would be more complicated than that. But what can I really say? This delivered something creative at least. I don't want to just list the stuff I got.

If we all did that, then I guess...the game will have fulfilled its purpose. Kudos to you for making this insane. This seems more like something FatBadger would make. He would win an Underdog, not a Turd, of course. Congradulations on your strange success!

[Click 'em Up! II]

I was pretty surprised at how fun this turned out to be. I think it works so well because the colors are so nice. I always appreciate that in a game or really anything. There were a lot of unique designs for everyone and everything. It was so easy to beat the boss. He was nothing compared to the rest of the whole game.

I'm thinking it may have been intentionally anticlimactic like that Pico chicken game. Of course, I haven't advanced to beat the other ones. I think kids would love this. It really can be stressful. Good thing it was frontpaged.

cobcris responds:

It's awesome for me to know that you enjoyed the game :) i hope kids can enjoy it too
thanks Ericho!

[#Escape: The Waiting Room]

While I'm not someone who's into point and click adventure games much, this really was pretty good. I think its greatest point was how easy it was to get secret medals. Yeah, expect me to say that. You'd think being the most prolific game reviewer, I could love all kinds of games. Unfortunately, I really do not. I still liked it.

Everything was done quite realistically. The drawings were very good. It was even funny to see the jokes with the medals you got. The music seemed to fit it quite well too. It was all around decent.

Aprime responds:

Glad you enjoyed my game mr prolific game reviewer.

Yeah, I tried to steer clear from arbitrary puzzles.
The medals were thought of spontaneously, but I'm happy they worked out well.

Thanks for the review!

[Link Chat Attack!]

I thought this was a good game. I thought you just had to press space once to advance. I should know by now that's just too simple. I think the graphics are actually quite good. While it may not make much sense, I still enjoyed it. The music was nice.

While not too memorable, I would recommend it. This vaguely reminded me of "Pac-Man". I thought it would have something to do with Link from Zelda. I mean, that's probably the most results you'll get from something like this. There was no real chatting either.

[Pico: Will It Slice?]

There must have been something wrong with my computer. For whatever reason, I was unable to fire at anyone. I couldn't help but just run around waiting to be killed. I don't understand how that works. I was able to get some shots in and at least one medal. I HAD to get one medal for this.

I don't know why this isn't under Pico Day. I guess because it was submitted too late? I found this game itself to be too routine. The graphics weren't good either. I love killing zombies, but not like this.

io3creations responds:

Strange, is your mouse working properly? Maybe try updating your Flash player or a different browser.

[Flashcub]

I actually liked this game. While it does suffer from being too simple in design, it was in fact pretty complicated. I should have know that more colors would be added. And I thought I had a high IQ. Anyway, this was pretty fun to just look at. I liked the sounds.

Yep, I lost it when over two colors came into play. At least I managed to get the first levels in a breeze. Wait, I don't even know if it's possible to lose on those. I thought the blocks would build up from the last level. I guess I'm glad they didn't.

[Vegas Invader]

I am sorry, but I did not like this game. Hey, another reference to September 11th! Anyway, I could not get into it, because it was too difficult. It annoyed me how you were killed by the enemy falling towards you. It didn't make any sense. Birds wouldn't explode anyway.

I don't think the graphics were all that great either. The sounds were a tad annoying. You do get some points for creativity. It was unique, but not enjoyable. I do like "Space Invaders".
