Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kane the Ninja]

Here's another game that I found to just be mediocre. It didn't have much detail in it or anything. It seems like most people agree with me in saying that this is pretty average. I wish you could have more health. You just get hit once and lose. Then again, you could view that as being fair to the enemies.

Not that you would ever want to do that to enemies in a web game. I think the sounds are quite good. There should have been more detail, too. Again, I wasn't really motivated to continue with the game. I do like ninjas, though.

[Mo'bike]

This wasn't a very enjoyable game. I think the main problem was that there was no sound. It seems like you should have that in any game. I'm not sure what the title was a reference to. It just seems like a dated title. I still appreciate the graphics.

Everything is quite well detailed in this. I like how you run, or drive, with such a simple concept. It also doesn't help I'm not good at it. I'm not motivated to do better. If it was a better game, I'm sure I could.

[Super Frisco Frenzy]

I really like this game! The only downside is that it's disappointing to not see myself get a higher score. I mean, I am the most prolific game reviewer in the world. I won't mention that much anymore. I just love how simple this is. You can just keep on blowing stuff up over and over.

It's just sheer fun from beginning to end. There were some periods of inactivity. I was surprised at how they even existed. It was just enjoyable to have all this insanity go on. A pity it won't become as popular as your pornographic games.

[Yakuza Rising]

It was cool how much I could get into this game. While it was quite repetitive, I still enjoyed the heck out of it! I think it was mostly because it was just fun to shoot your enemies over and over again. I still die fewer times than they do! It's nice how it's so easy to understand. I think the graphics are actually quite good.

I like how they yell "murder" right as they're dying. That does suit their last words. I wish I had some of those. It really is pretty easy once you get down to it. Going on the tops of the buildings give you fewer points. Besides, it's no fun that way.

[D-Pression]

I'm surprised at how much I could get into this! I have gone through depression in my life, so that came off as neat. I am glad you were able to go into so many people's psyche. The music is really good too. I just enjoy the atmosphere. It probably could take place in the deepest part of my mind.

Maybe not too deep, the images aren't that complicated. You really knew how to tell a story here. I appreciate how complicated it could be even though the design was simplistic. This really is one of the better examples of that. It even reminds me of when I used to play piano. I'm glad to have played this.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Wow, thanks!
I actually haven't gone through depression myself, but I know several people that have been/are suffering from it D:

It pleases me to see that I succeeded in creating the athmosphere, since I personally love the "psychological" games bet myself :3

And yes, I'm fully aware that my art/animations aren't top notch. I still think I did okay though, but it could be much better :p

It's good that you enjoyed my game, and thanks again for the review!

[Super Marshmallow Kingdom]

You know I was more motivated to beat this game because of those medals. I knew it would be a game where you got upgrades and stuff. It seemed more like a platformer at first. I like to see all those marshmellows and stuff. Why is spellcheck on my review? The graphics are quite good.

I liked to learn how to get different combos and stuff. While repetitive, I do love how sweet everything is. I mean that in all senses of the word. This seems like an episode of "Adventure Time". And you thought MLP was the only happy kingdom out there.

[Cavern]

This is a really confusing game. I didn't even really understand what I was supposed to do. I thought it would just end when I got out of the cave. I will admit that it's quite an ambitious game. I appreciate how good the designs are. You really are encouraged to make use of whatever you can in this. The music is nice and creepy too.

Caverns and dark places are great locations to work with. I was in no way expecting to stumble onto this ancient world. It was also nice how I could take the game slowly. While not great, it worked out well for me. I appreciate the interesting environment.

[Bee-Spree]

I couldn't understand how to play this game at first. The strangest thing is that I got all my medals without even knowing how to play this! I just kept dying and earning medals. It was when I knew how to play it that I didn't get anything. Granted, I could get a hell of a lot longer on the level, but no actual medal. Okay, I'm way too whiney.

I thought the music was quite good. I thought the premise was fairly original. I don't think a bee hive can even get that long. A pity this has the initials BS. Once you get used to it, it's anything but!

[Cover Color Game]

I found this to be a pretty good game. On one level, I don't think I was able to advance. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had something to do with my computer. There have been many things that haven't been showing on lately. Anyway, I really did appreciate how cute this was. I like being able to get a good look at everything.

While simple, that does make for a nice, cute game. I'm not sure if you can alter the pictures or flip them or anything. Maybe that's what I can get past the one level. If you only had numbered them. It's nice to see you guys active again.

[London Cabbie]

I'm going to give this a fairly low rating, because I suck big at this game. There wasn't any time to even do anything. I think the red truck automatically comes when you get near that certain area. It didn't help that parallel parking was the first thing you did. I don't know if I've ever had to do that in real life. I don't even recall how well I did in driving class.

I guess the design and artwork is fairly good. It has most of what you would want in a game about taxis. It's been too long since I've been in one of those. I just like the word cabbie. Not really a fan of London, I guess.
