Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Boulder Basher 2]

While the animation isn't that good, I still really enjoyed this. I find it to be better than the original, because it seems to be easier. The lines do seem to fade more. I just always did it at the wrong time here. I like how nice the music is. It's very calming.

I really liked killing those guys. Yeah, I know that sounds mean, but it's interesting how it is laid out. It really does seem like their own fault here. You do need to work on the animation. It's still a great game!

I was pretty impressed by this game. My only complaint was that it was a bit hard to control. You mostly just did the same thing over and over. I was quite impressed at how well this game moved. I thought it would be easy to just destroy all the cars. It really is a lot harder than that.

The protagonist of this is also pretty cool looking. He looks like some giant punk rocker. It seems like you tried to look cool by putting the two words in the title together. It is fun to see all that destruction. I even like how everything fades away or something when you lose the game.

[Gully Cricket]

I really don't know that much about culture, because I kept thinking of baseball. Wait, this is a lot like baseball, isn't it? I appreciated how it was fairly unique. It's always nice to hear about sports popular in other countries. It seems I learned a little here. Of course, I don't know much about baseball either.

For a sports game, I thought this wasn't bad. I don't understand was the whole "being on fire" thing meant. It didn't really injure me. I guess you just had to throw in some magic there. It's hard to see any popular thing that doesn't have at least one thing that can't happen in real life. The sounds are okay.

[Two Wheeler Trauma 2]

I admit that it does look very nice, but that was pretty much it. If I touched anything at ALL, I died. I'm pretty sure if I just grazed the side of something on my motorcycle, that wouldn't be too bad. I will admit that the graphics aren't too bad. There is just so little going for this. I thought maybe you were supposed to kill people. I mean, India does have the most deaths by car accidents.

That's what I get for knowing about statistics. I couldn't get any points at all. Good design doesn't matter if you can't play a game. I guess the music isn't too bad. I can see why this never got too popular.

[Blocs]

This really is quite an impressive game. I think it does have the problem of not having good graphics. I still found this to be very enjoyable. It didn't get hard too quickly. You just had to get a good look at everything in order to advance. I appreciate the originality of this.

I'm surprised this didn't win an award of some kind. I wasn't even sure how to play it at first. It was pretty fun figuring it out. I recommend this to more people. It's laid out in a very nice manner.

[Power Swing]

I liked this game, but it did not make sense at all. I don't know what's really going on. It said I had to hit the ball to knock my opponent out. I did that, and it said I lost! When I fell off it myself, I won! There must be something wrong here. Anyway, it really is a pretty creative game.

I wish I knew how to control that eagle. It was a pretty well paced game. I could recognize your animation. I'm glad it wasn't just a standard baseball game. We don't have that many popular sports games here.

[Scrap Metal]

I was not that entertained by this game. It seemed like an awful lot of work just to get some medals. I couldn't really understand what the point of cheering or booing was. It seemed too complicated for itself. I would have preferred a more standard fighting game. There isn't much motivation to go on.

I do think that the designs are fairly good and it does seem like you were trying something different. I always appreciate that. It could just be more enjoyable. It seems like most people think this is okay, too. Those are my thoughts.

DarkTimmy responds:

Totally agree. I think the only thing pushing a lot of people through are the medals. Overall the game is a nice idea with some flaw that hold it way back. The game just doesn't seem to engage too hard with the variety. I am thinking about a sequel with some tweaks and new modes. Maybe that will do it! Thanks for the comment too! Best, -Tim (check out my Boss 101 sequel if you want to see the latest - my Newgrounds blog has the deets)

[Captain Jack Adventure!]

I was truly impressed by this! I can see why it won Daily 2ndPlace. Oh come on, that's not so bad! I thought the graphics were quite good. It was refreshing to have a game that was so easy to understand. I thought a game about a boat would be more difficult. It even seemed to be rewarding.

I think I've gotten used to the controls with this laptop. The sounds and everything else seemed good. I knew enemies would appear. I don't know why there are giant floating coins. Of course, it probably makes more sense than other games anyway.

[Seven Days Without Rain]

I am surprised this does not have a higher rating. I actually really could get into this. I think it's mostly because of how realistic it is. In many games, that's not a good thing. Here, you guys really seemed like you wanted to make an art game. I am glad you did that. The music is quite soothing too.

It's nice to find interesting ways to do basic things like open locks. It's not stupid, it would be hard in real life. It's interesting how you want to tell a story like this. I hope this at least gets frontpaged. It's nice to have an intellectual game.

[Spitwad]

It was interesting, because I didn't even know the computer was playing at first! I thought it was just me playing against myself! I know I at least clicked the screen when the computer started. I admit that is kind of an original idea. I haven't played one of those games like this. It does make it less fun when there are no obstacles or anything.

Wait, I'm thinking of the wrong kind of game. I thought it was fun to get close to hitting your opponent. While not that creative, still good. You could probably brush up on the graphics, too. You bet I recognize that music.
