Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Horse Jump]

I admit that it does have a pretty original concept. Personally, I couldn't get that much into it. It seemed too easy at first. When it did get harder, it didn't come off as enjoyable. I think I probably wouldn't recommend It, but it's not that bad. I appreciate how unique it is.

There isn't really any need to make it more detailed, as it does not need to be. It works okay for what it is. The sounds are fairly good. It can be hard to figure out the mechanics. If you're into different kinds of things, I would recommend this.

[Bungee Rescue]

This was quite an impressive game! I kind of forgot about you guys because you aren't making much stuff nowadays, but this is really good! It took me a little while to understand the controls. Bungee jumping is just cool. Made even better when you're actually saving people's lives with it! I just thought this was nicely done.

You really had to work with your timing on this. I like how it's slower when you lift cows. The music is quite enthuastic. I love how the seagull flies into the camera. There are just a lot of little nice things going on here.

[Ragdoll Avoider]

I found this to be a pretty typical game. I just don't think it's that original. That being said, there's really nothing WRONG with it. It's just too typical. I guess I appreciate how there are different versions of it. It just seems to be standard stick stuff.

I look for more unique games. I guess the overall design wasn't bad. I have just played ragdoll games that were better than this. I admit it is a tad unique. It's just nothing I'd look at again.

[Mobs Down]

This was a pretty entertaining bad game. It looked like some cheap Grand Theft Auto ripoff. It is fairly nice to see CGI here. It just comes off as too silly to take seriously. It's a harder game than you think. You do have some nice mobility, though.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind! Seriously, I was just watching a video of QI before playing this. It does get pretty redundant. It's still fairly enjoyable. I just liked how silly it looked.

[Spaceman Ace]

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this. I appreciated how unique it was. I still can't remember the name of the game those green guys come from. While not a masterpiece, it still comes off as good to me. What kept it from being great was how the controls were off. I don't understand how the weapon style works.

The music was pretty good too. I think it's funny how you're transported back to the beginning of the level after dying. I should have paid attention to how many lives I had. It just had a good spirit to it. It's also easy to understand.

[Rocket_Fighter]

This reminds me of a lot of space shooting games. While this wasn't as good, I still enjoyed playing this. I just thought that some of the sprites stood out. It looked kind of shoddy. I still appreciate how good the gameplay is. I really do love games that are so straightforward like this.

It helped that the music was great too. While I haven't played Mega Man myself, I recognize some of these sprites. They're just popular here. My favorite character is Zero. Sometimes you trick yourself into thinking you don't have more mobility.

[Puzzle Freak]

Wow, I was pretty dang impressed at how hard this game was. I think the best thing was how you did in fact have no idea what was going to happen next. I knew a standard board game wouldn't be good. As the Frankenstein monster, I could have just killed the human. The music and sounds are quite good. I do think the graphics could be better, though.

Not much more to say, other than that I'm bad at the mini games. I guess the whole thing is nothing but mini games, which I am bad at. They prove to be quite challenging. I generally don't play these sorts of things with the games here. It was frustrating, but you unique.

[Smokin' Aces Card Killer]

I was afraid this was going to be a card game at first. I mean, it had the word "Card" in the title. As I'm no good at those things, I enjoyed this. I do in fact recall this movie. While I never saw it, I remember it being advertised. I'm just a really big movie fan like that.

I knew my luck couldn't go on forever. I think I lost at Level 12 or something. You really do know how to make something so simple enjoyable. A lot of games are like that. I couldn't recognize most of these actors, though.

[cursor storm]

Dang, it really is taking me awhile to get used to the laptop. I could barely control anything with the cursor. Oh well, while the game was hard for me to play, it wasn't that bad. I think it is in fact quite creative. There are a nice amount of details here and there. The music is really funky.

I guess "funky" just isn't used by most people anymore, huh? I guess it's just better to play on a desktop, or whatever the opposite of a laptop is. It's nice to have a game where you can get personal with it. You really get involved with the cursor. That's how it is in things besides games.

[Squareman]

I was fairly impressed by this. It reminded me of the ZekeySpaceyLizard cartoon "Squaresville". Again, it's really only because of the use of squares. The problem I did have with this was that it could have been more detailed. I know that's kind of a Catch-22. The way such a large area is shown works well for the game, but it makes there less to look at.

I was searching for this and couldn't find the right amount of space between the "square" and "man". I appreciate the good music. Sometimes, the levels make you repeat them. I like how you have health in this. It's unique for a game with spikes.
