Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[M.U.N.K.E.]

This was pretty good. I'm actually glad I ran out of fuel. I didn't want the game to go on too long. It was at least nice to see these graphics. I'm glad there were blocks to stop me. It was annoying having to change commands so often.

It would have been better if you could use the arrow keys. At least it was clear what you needed to write down. Bananas are always cool. This title reminded me of MUGEN. It is a funny title, though.

[Fat Fish Aquarium]

I have to admit that I didn't care for this. I mean, it was just a fish eating and pooping out money. That was it. I did the same thing over and over. I thought there was something more to this game. It was too boring.

I mean, it was at least easy to understand. I still felt like I was missing something. It took too long for something interesting to happen. Orange is my favorite color. That's why I liked goldfish.

Ant responds:

Is a real fish any more exciting? Guess ya don't like fish... but it's fine it's just not ur type of game.

[Glash: From Cinder To Cinderella]

Well, that was indeed a pretty interesting game. I appreciated how the gameplay was unique. That didn't necessarily make it good. It got annoying with the enemies. I could still learn more. I'm glad there weren't too many levels.

I thought your matches would be replenished when you began a new level. That certainly made it harder than I thought it would be! It was hard to kill the enemies too. I didn't know there'd be more than one. That should be expected with a video game.

[Orderless: New Skies]

This was a very cute and unique little RPG. I used to hate them. I've started to warm up to them after the "Epic Battle Fantasy" series. It's interesting to see how they've evolved. This reminded me of "Amphibia". I haven't even seen that show.

The animation is very nice. It took me awhile to get used to the interaction. Thank God I could dodge the attacks. You were pretty mobile in this. It did seem to have order. You could explore things pretty well.

[SQUADADDLE]

I would recommend this, if only because it was a challenge. I was annoyed by how hard it was. I mean, the controls seemed too complicated. I wish it was more straightforward. Then again, I don't want it to be too easy. I didn't even notice the timer at first.

I thought that you were supposed to collect the kiwi. I guess I just ran out of time right as I did. Whatever, this was a bit too complicated. As I've said before, I would have to mess with it to really understand it. It wasn't too rewarding.

kaiakairos responds:

The idea is that the runs are so short, it’s easy to learn from your mistakes and hop into a new one with your newfound knowledge. It's hard as hell, yes, but easy to learn once you give it a few tries. This was intentional design.
I can tell by your score on the scoreboard that you only made it past the tutorial, died immediately, and then didn't even bother trying again. I've seen IGN reviewers try harder than you.

[Merged Gravity DEMO]

I think the rating should be higher. I mean, it's not the best game out there. It's perfectly serviceable. I knew it would get a lot harder later on. I was really stuck when I ran out of charges. I can't play this game forever!

Yes, it was simple but good. The graphics were indeed nice. I'm surprised I got past the first appearance of the spikes. I'm glad there was a full screen option. I even thought the music was pretty good.

ChimeraDev responds:

Thanks for playing! The game is around 40 minutes the first time you play it! Its quite hard but it's fun to try again! Hope to see you finish it eventually! :)

[Fantasy Madness: Bloodbath]

Wow, this was absolutely fantastic! I had no idea it would be this addictive! It's a pity I can't get any better at it. I mean, my number of kills doesn't go up! It's hard, but still wonderful. I love the variety of enemies.

I wasn't even sure what the crystals did at first. I then realized they were used to level up. With such a large screen, I can't take everything into account! I hope this stays up for a long time. My favorite powerups were probably the killer rabbits. Yes, of course I love "Monty Python And The Holy Grail".

[Pixel Mania!]

Well, the game was definitely playable. I just had no idea how to get a single gem or anything like that. It reminded me of the "Crash Bandicoot" games. I never could get all the boxes done! I didn't even realize there was a timer. Ignorance truly was bliss in that case.

The game was too easy with that gameplay. The extra stuff was quite hard though. You deserve some credit for that, I suppose. The graphics were decent. It was kind of too simple and too hard somehow.

blit-blat responds:

Too simple and too hard at the same time is the absolute sweet spot! There's a walkthrough here if you need it:

Thanks for playing! :)

[Split-shot West]

Well, I guess the gameplay was unique. It just wasn't very interesting to me. I mean, you should have just been able to shoot while you were active. It seemed too overly complicated. Well, it was like an old Western. It just didn't quite work for a flash game.

Please don't take a sip every time I thank someone for an easy medal. Well, just read my movie reviews instead. This was still stylistic and I liked the music. It just isn't for me. At least it was easy to follow, I guess.

[Watch Paint Dry]

Well, that delivered on what it was supposed to. That secret medal was far easier than I thought. I mean, what else were you supposed to do? Of course I noticed it sold 420,000 copies. I'm glad there was music. I mean, what else do you need to do?

There's tons of YouTube videos where it's nothing but a blank screen with a song. You knew how to spice it up. I now noticed the 69 number. Dang, you noticed how to use your numbers! Well, there's not much else to notice in this.

Little-Renastair responds:

Nice
