Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Math Mountain]

I have to admit that I was quite impressed by this game. It helps that I'm a guy who's into educational stuff like this. Even though mathematics was my weakest course, I still did really well with this. Of course, it wasn't very hard. I just like games that make you think. You rarely play educational games about math.

I guess we should have more of those. Granted, I'm in college and don't really need the training. This was still a very good game. While not too well drawn, it doesn't really matter. This was very fun to play.

[Digital Switch]

I thought this was a good game. I do think it could have been more detailed. It still works pretty well because it has a fairly original idea. I always appreciate those. I was reminded of the show "Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" or whatever it's called. The sounds were pretty good.

It was a game where you could pace yourself fairly well. It wasn't just all coming at you at one time. It really allow you to prepare for what was happening next. It still wasn't too easy. I guess I'm not good with this kind of gameplay.

[Royal Offense (Game)]

I remember games like this before. I don't think this was a direct sequel. I was still pretty impressed by how good the graphics are. While not flawless, they certainly gave out the goods. I loved seeing the dead bodies stay around. Call me morbid, but that was cool.

While it doesn't have that much new to add, it's still a great game. It helps that there are always things like upgrades and tax collectors. It would be too generic without them. The sounds and gameplay are done pretty well. It's easier to just speed it up.

[Beneath the Trolls]

As far as Ludum Dare games go, I was actually quite impressed by this. I think the best part was how it got bigger the more it went on. A lot of times, levels don't increase in size like that. I guess the graphics really do show. I'm glad I could stay in that one position and continue to fire at the enemy.

I assume they were goblins or something? I didn't even know that I could move on my own with the arrow keys at first! The jumping just seemed so much easier! I like all the sounds and little details. This was quite good.

[Pizza Shack Deluxe]

I thought this was good, but it did have its problems. I think the biggest one was how it had a lack of control. You really had to be precise when you picked up the food. You couldn't just be near it and then hit the space button. I guess that makes it more realistic? I wouldn't want that in a game anyway.

It was still pretty fun to play, even though I had a score of zero. Games are weird like that. I didn't know there'd be burgers in a pizza place. I really do like that music. It's one of the more popular restaurant games here.

[Captain Pot Story Game]

This was just a pretty good game. What I did not understand was how you defeated enemies. I don't even think you did. When I first heard the title "Captain Pot", I thought it was going to be about marijuana. Come on, I'm sure a lot of people did! I don't know what this character had to do with pots.

The enemies were trees for some reason. I guess it's just meant to be a goofy game. It certainly got that right. I like the jumping sounds. The graphics actually aren't that bad.

[Extreme Particle Suite]

I really did have fun with this game. While it wasn't that difficult...that was why I enjoyed it! The sounds were great too. I just loved how you could never even lose. I thought your goal was supposed to be to AVOID the bricks. It would have been so less fun that way.

As far as Daily 4th Places go, this was really good! Everything is so wonderfully fast paced. I especially love when you get to the big brick mode. You can basically just jump up and down at the end of the screen for the goodness there! This is just very fun.

[Multiball]

This was an okay game. I thought it should have been more detailed with more things going on. It was weird how the circle also hurt me. I don't know how that works. You also seemed to have too low of a score. I actually did think this wasn't too much of a bad game, though. It isn't hard to understand.

I REALLY have to stop awarding games points for that. It just doesn't have anything that good or bad. It's nothing to remember. It is nice with its pacing. I can see why this isn't that popular.

[Divine Division]

I really did like this game. What I found to be hard was well, everything. I'm always impressed at how games can be difficult even if they are not that complicated. This certainly fit the bill. It was pretty much unbeatable after the first level. The timer didn't help.

In fact, I think it made it worse. Why has no one made that joke before? While basic, it still got what it was supposed to do. I recall games like this. While not too memorable, still good.

[Shut Up And Fulp]

Wow, that was one very strange game. I think it's safe to say Tom Fulp appears most frequently under inspirations. I personally did not find this to be all that good. I guess this is at least done in the style of Newgrounds. It was nice to learn some history, not that I didn't know that stuff already. It was too strange to recommend.

This is the first time I saw the medals show up below. They didn't even show up in the actual game! I heard the sound, but that was it. Maybe it was intentional? The shotguns didn't seem to work.

This is not history, this is the future.
