Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pyromasters]

While not the most memorable game, certainly worth checking out. I haven't even played any of the Bomberman games. Then again, I don't know if this is a direct reference to them. It's another one of those games that works so well because of how nicely it's paced. I admit that the CGI could be better, but still good. People just like explosions.

With a premise like this, it's hard to go wrong. Congrats on winning a Daily Feature with an older game. Yeah, just one year, but you'd be surprised. I like games that are so easy to understand. I was surprised the controls were stuff like "P" and "Enter" and not just spacebar.

[Rebounce]

It's hard to like this that much. I have played some basketball in real life. I didn't enjoy it that much, but it wasn't bad. I guess I have the same thing to say for this. I was confused as to why you had some bounces labeled. I didn't get any points for them unless I made the shot.

I guess there's nothing really wrong with it. It should please basketball fans. I think it's a bit hard to go through the hoop without bouncing all over the place. Then again, that was the point. I can figure that stuff out.

[Ragdoll Ninja]

I admit that I was quite frustrated by this game. I still can't say I didn't enjoy it, because I truly did! It was amazing to see all these guys being sliced up. I'm glad the guys falling upward didn't count as a missed strike. It was great to see how much I could do with it. The worst parts were easily the purple bombs.

I thought the music was really sweet too. There's just a good sense of wanting to do better in this. The headshots are harder than you think. It was weird how the medals were arranged. I appreciated all of this.

[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.
