Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[LELAND: The Last Stand]

Like most people, I found this to just be mediocre. It's nice to see new stuff from you. I guess it just got too repetitive, with you shooting and stabbing everyone. It would have worked better as a much longer game. Well, at least a game where it didn't take so long to get out of that single area. It is kind of funny to see this premise.

I think the satire actually works out pretty well. For some reason, it seems more like a game the creator of BEEBO would make. I guess not so much, because he wasn't even the inspiration. I was hoping I could get multiple secret coins. At least that guy doesn't shoot me.

[Fafu The Ostrich RPG]

I wasn't expecting an RPG from you. Then again, I should have known it from the title. It looks like you managed to entertain most people. I admit that I'm not much into these kinds of games. I still find this to be a good game. It's mostly because of how fast paced it is. I have never played an RPG as fast as this!

Then again, that's kind of bad because I keep getting killed by alligators. I remember that music from the Kirby games. Well, I never played them, but I heard music like this before in reference to Kirby. There really are a lot of interesting things going on here. While not one of your best, still good.

[Turret Pong]

When I first came across this game, I thought it would be a turret defense game. I should know that's not the only meaning of the word. I really did like how different it was. The problem is, I'm not very good at it. It reminds me of Skeeball if nothing else. I don't think I'm good at those games either.

I appreciate how nice the music is. It probably could have been better with the graphics. That wouldn't be that great, now that I think about it, as that would have just made it even harder. I think it's pretty well paced. I did get an experience out of this.

[The Blind Swordsman]

I didn't know this was actually going to be a game where you played blind, literally. I guess I did like how it was quite different. Of course, I'd have to look at a good tutorial to really get the hang of it. The cutscenes probably would have helped me. It's hard to be motivated to watch them, when there are no medals for this game. I can see why the high scores seem to be so low.

Wait, what this an April Fool's Day joke? Nah, it's too serious for that. It really is quite a unique game. I do recommend this, if you can look past how weird it is. The music's pretty good, too.

Evil-Dog responds:

Medals are coming...but I have to say, you have to be quite the medal whore to only be motivated to play a game or watch cutscenes only if there are medal-carots at the end of the stick, that's just troubling. What happened to just playing games cause they're fun?

[Detective Grimoire]

I thought this was a really good game. I may not have been motivated to complete the whole thing (or even most of it) but still quite good. You really do know how to set up good atmosphere. I like how good the graphics are. While they aren't too detailed, I think they really work for the surroundings. Yeah, detectives don't wear hats anymore.

You put up a nice creepy place, but it isn't too scary...at least not at first. I'm impressed at the sheer number of songs used for this. It helps to know you went the extra mile. I like how it really is easy to understand. I wish it wasn't so talky, though.

[The Depths]

This seemed to remind me of "Adventure Time". I guess it was just because of the snail. You know, I never am able to find that guy in an episode. Oh, and the guy at the end of the level reminded me of the Ice King. I appreciate how the artwork is nicely done. I think that while it doesn't have that much variety, it's still worth checking out.

I also liked the sound effects. You would be surprised at how handy teleporting comes in. I found this to just have good spirit. I admit that some of the pixellation looks a bit bad. Then again, it was made for Stencyl Jam.

[High Noon Ranger]

I guess it's really hard to say whether this was that good or not. It worked pretty well in being a very simple cowboy game. I guess I appreciate how it lives up to what it's supposed to be. I didn't know it was going to be that difficult. It really is one of the most comprehensible games at least. I didn't even know I was going to shoot the guy they were talking about.

Blame Hollywood for glamorizing villains. At least I get to see more of those cool guys by shooting them dead! The music was pretty good. This is, for the most part, quite a standard game. It's what you expect in a standard cowboy form of media.

[Cannibal Control]

I found this to be an enjoyable game. What I really liked about it was that it was fairly creative. You don't see cannibals being made fun of so much. It was weird how he didn't seem to eat me. He just beat me up or something. I thought the animation was pretty good.

It's nice to hear those bouncing effects. They are pretty cartoonish. I even like the sounds that are made when you lose. It's weird to think how easy you can lose those people. This was pretty well done.

[Besterest Game Ever Made]

I remember the original version of this game which said it was the best ever. Hmm, suddenly the date makes more sense. I appreciated the, uh, joke. I didn't care much for how simple it was. I will say that this game's entire existence was well played. I did, however, know what I was getting into.

It's hard to get absorbed into it. Since it's a joke game, there's not that much I can say. I do like how the description is in Caps Lock to better emphasize its insanity. It is an insane game, I'll give you that. Happy April Fool's Day!

Mockery responds:

WAIT... TODAY WAS APRIL FOOLS' DAY!?!? SO *THAT'S* WHY EVERYBODY THINKS THIS GAME IS A JOKE! WHOOPS! I SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL APRIL 2ND TO RELEASE IT! DAMN IT! THAT'S 20 YEARS OF INTENSIVE GAME DEVELOPMENT WORK DOWN THE DRAIN! OH WELL, THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK... I'LL SPEND ANOTHER 20 YEARS ON A SEQUEL AND HOPEFULLY BY THEN I'LL REMEMBER TO NOT RELEASE IT ON APRIL 1ST. GOOD GRIEF! LOLOLLOL!!!

[-VELOCITY-]

I found myself really liking this game. It's mostly because it is quite unique. It seemed too easy at first. I should have realized I was using up all my power, or whatever that was. It made me appreciate rhythm games more. I really am growing fond of that intro. I can believe that this was made by you, dz2001.

It matches the other games you've made. While they are better, this is still really good. I just like how there's so much chaos in this. Being unpredictable shows how unique something is. I just like these images of stuff flying around.
