Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Quiz]

It's weird to say that I enjoyed playing this. I mean, it's pretty cheap all things considered! I recognize "Carmalldansen" anytime of the week. I really did get quite far with this. I thought it would be nothing but joke questions. Wait, maybe that would have been funnier?

It's so weird I found this to be far better than the highest rated submission here. I thought I was a critic! Happy Flash Foward 2023! Oh, and also 420. I know more about space than I thought.

fe3l1ngsk1lled responds:

420 indeed! :3

[Torture the stickman]

I admit to not being the biggest flash of this jam. I mean, Flash Forward. This was still pretty enjoyable. I liked the brick one the most. I do remember games like this. Congratulations on being the thumbnail!

I guess I'm seeing more stick figures. That's definitely something old! Stick Slayer won after all. I mean, we are killing the sticks we still have. The re-do button looked like a smile!

Thanks for your review!

[The Whicher]

Well, that was just okay. The animation wasn't good. That seemed to be the point. This almost reminded me of Earth-Mage-2000. I loved the easy medals. Well, I loved how they were worth a lot.

I appreciate how easy it was to understand. I'm normally not into RPGs. I might have gotten used to them. This might be good for a quick laugh. I do like the protagonist.

[Tidying Up + Secrets of the Sewers]

This was a good game, but it did seem to have a major flaw. I didn't know how to select levels I already beat! I accidentally went back on the page. Whatever, this was still a good game. It was a little hard to understand at first. I'm glad I got used to it.

It got quite enjoyable after a while. It is a pretty unique idea. I'm glad both of them didn't have to go through the door. It wasn't too hard, either. That was a lot of music!

Bleak-Creep responds:

A level selector is honestly something that I hadn't ever even thought of myself, but seems like something so obvious. I'm sure we'll add that later on at some point. There are a couple other little QOL things we wanna get to at some point or another.

[Pixel Dash 2]

This was an enjoyable little game. I'm glad I learned how to get past the menu. You just had to solve the mini-game on the top. I liked how simplistic it was. I guess it could have been more detailed? It really didn't need to be.

It just wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it might be. I really liked how you didn't automatically lose when you trapped a guy. It was fairly easy. It did manage to escalate quite well. It did indeed utilize pixels well.

blit-blat responds:

Yeah, trapping pixels is actually a necessary tactic for precise and bad pixel modes. Would be a bit harsh if you lost on the other modes for doing so!

And sorry to hear that it wasn’t enjoyable as you thought it might be! Feel free to send me any suggestions as to what would have improved it for you!

[Lunar Worm]

Wow, I got all my medals! Anyway, this game was quite enjoyable. I was thinking there'd at least be some end. It still worked out well with the way it was. You know how to create colors. It was actually vaguely like Nyan Cat.

Of course, it wasn't as good. I thought you were supposed to collect the pipes. You know, like in "Super Mario Bros.". This was quite nicely paced. It just didn't come off as great to me.

[64 Bits - Kirby and the Forgotten Land Demake for NES]

Wow, this really was a unique game. You guys actually made a game! I admit that it did get annoying. I was still definitely motivated to keep on playing it. It seemed like the harder I tried, the harder it got! That Kirby car design is just awesome.

I don't think I've ever even played a Kirby game (not including ones here). The cannibalism power is pretty awesome. It was just so easy to bump into everything. You'd think he'd be stronger. These enemies were certainly unique too.

[A Date with Death 3 Confessions]

That was a lot more enjoyable than I thought! It was amazing how I'm not even a fan of point and click adventures. Well, this was actually a dating sim. A dating sim? I'm even less of a fan of those! It's probably the best one I've ever played.

My favorite part is when the hero described himself as an atheist and she was like, "I'm...right here". I noticed how you used Blamed For Being Railroaded. I was just looking that trope up! This was a very fun game and I love how you told us how long it was. There actually was a good story in this. This deserves a high score as the most unique dating sim ever!

[Recontra]

I appreciated the graphics, but it could have been a lot better. The cockroach was pretty annoying. Well, it is indeed pretty annoying. It's indeed authentic to "Contra". I at least think it is. I've never played the actual game.

To play all the games referenced here would take eternity. The first bit was easier than I thought. The final boss? He was the only boss. It needed more variety.

streq responds:

Thank you for the feedback! the "final" has been edited out, I wrote the achievement early on while setting up the page and forgot about it.

I originally had a larger game in mind, but became overwhelmed by it and decided to make it short and replayable via achievements/highscore instead.

The roach is indeed annoying, I was aiming for it to be fast and unpredictable (much like real roaches are lol), but still possible to kill.

Thank you for playing!

[Fruity Tower]

This was fun, but I had no idea it would be this hard! I mean, I took out tons of enemies, but couldn't get any medals. This was still quite colorful. Well, not literally. We're used to a lack of color with "Madness Combat" around here. You'd be surprised how many fruits are mistaken for vegetables.

I heard corn is a fruit! Yeah, it contains seeds. The gameplay is still great. I thought the orange would be a boss. There were instead more than one in the same room.

Prox276 responds:

Haha, thanks! :D
This was an eye-opening experience for me. I never knew eggplants, jalapenos and carrots were considered fruit, but I needed every last one of them to fill out a cast of enemies. xD
