Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark]

I have to admit that this is a really game! I love how I just have no idea what's going on. It's hard to ask for more detail, because that is not the point of the game. I really like how everything moves so well. Even the parts where the screen goes blank aren't that difficult. I'm fairly certain those silhouettes are checkpoints.

It's just a game that seems to have no end. It's mostly because everything is so dark. Oh yeah, that's where you got the name. It seems like the protagonist keeps transforming. Not sure what that's all about.

lol thanks!

[Where's Derpy? 3]

Aww, I love this game. While it's not that innovative, it works because it has freaking Derpy in it! I just love how sugary sweet everything in this game is! You get a wonderful sense of being in Ponyville. I believe these are all real still frames from the show. I think you added the muffins, though.

Funny, she only mentioned muffins once, but now has a weird obsession. I thought I had seen this before. It must have been the previous installments in the series. The music is great too. And hey, you did submit this on the day an episode premiered, specially the Breezies one.

[Think Up]

For a game that doesn't seem to have that much going on, it is quite difficult. I REALLY don't mean to sound whiny, but it does seem too difficult. It's mostly because you can't go back and reset things. On the first part, if you kill the bat, you have to reset the whole game just so you can get past it! It's just too easy to die.

Of course, everything gets better with practice. The fire is easily the hardest thing in the game. I guess I will praise you for having some unique designs. You just don't expect the game to be this hard. The title, which I just now noticed, makes perfect sense.

[Dangerous Maze 2]

Dude, this is one hardcore game! I appreciate how it really is quite creative. I couldn't understand why it had so few levels. The main problem is that, well, I can't get past any of it! I really think this should be more well known. It's just that it's difficult in such a creative way.

You really have created an elaborate world. There's just always something going on after you. For its creative difficulty alone, I love it! Then again, that's really the whole point. It's definitely worth looking at!

[Beyond Lightspeed]

I found this to be a fairly okay game. I guess it didn't help that I didn't seem to be really going anywhere. I will say that I appreciate seeing my speed and distance. I don't know if that's scientifically accurate. Reminds me of those cartoons with that name. The graphics were in fact decent.

It did not help that I couldn't collect any of the orbs. It didn't seem to have much going on with no upgrades or anything. I mean, there wasn't anything too awful about it. It's just not something I like. If you want to look at something mediocre, check this out.

[Miestas]

This is probably why I'm not much into adventure games. It didn't even see to have that much interactivity in comparisons to other ones I've play. I still have to admit that I have to like this. I just love the atmosphere in this. It's really cool to see how everything works together. The artwork is amazing!

It does take awhile to really figure it out. It's always nice to see stuff from a foreign country. I'm assume you're not from here, because of the words. The music is really wonderful too. It's just so stylistic.

[Tainted Olive - Chapter 1]

Well, I'm the first to admit that I'm pretty bad at this game. There really wasn't much I could do. I still have to praise you for having some really good details. It's times like this I wish there was a medal for not skipping the cutscenes. Well, they're kind of automatic here. I think the atmosphere is quite good.

The best part is probably the music. It really does set up a nice medieval atmosphere. I don't see what the purpose of that stick is. Reminds me of the "South Park" episode. I don't really see what olive has to do with this.

BlackOlive responds:

Sorry, I can't help but presume that you got stuck on the first screen? Why don't you click on the map in the lower-right corner (after you pick up the paper from the wall) and go to where it leads you?

[Azul Baronis]

Well, I managed to get somewhat ahead in this. Okay, not at all, really. What I don't like are these space shooting games where you just keep on moving. I really need to just stop mentioning "RaidenX". The music was quite triumphant in this. The artwork was fairly good.

I'm glad I could get a better hang of it. I've never really had good luck with moving a ship around. I prefer for it to stay in the same place. The enemies were a bit generic too. Well, it did provide a challenge at least.

[Castlewars]

I'm someone who's not good in card games. This is not to say I haven't learned them in real life a bit. I think the graphics could have been better. It just seems like card games are too complicated things to really get into. There was nothing really too bad about it, I guess. I liked the music.

It did in fact give you a good, soothing feeling. Any game can give you stress. Okay, there are some that are really easy, but you know what I mean. It seemed like a nice tribute to standard card games. In my opinion, it was pretty good.

[train silkroad]

I actually ended up liking this game. I'm generally not a fan of these kinds of things. I want games with more action. This really does have some good artwork and can be quite difficult. Am I the only one who thinks the peaches look like butts? I'm glad the trains kept coming back. Not that it really made it much easier.

It really does have the feel of a real life puzzle. Yeah, it's been forever since I've played those. I guess puzzle games are the adult version of them. I don't recognize Korean symbols. Or is that not their language?
