Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Match Em Up Deluxe]

Well, what can I say? Another weird game. I am just so more used to ones that are more elaborate. When I look over at "Related Stuff", I see nothing even remotely similar. I guess the music is pretty good. I don't really understand how this game can get so hard for me.

I may have been out of the classroom too long. You do deserve credit for a game that can prove to be challenging. I really do have to recommend it. It seemed like you were looking for something different. Uniqueness always helps.

[Straight Dice]

Well, this was a really strange game. It seemed like the entire thing was based on luck. I know a lot of games are like that in the strictest sense, but this seemed to be a pretty weird example. You just clicked on the dice over and over. I guess it isn't a bad game, just one with strange gameplay. There isn't much to see except the die.

I guess the colors and shadings are nicely done? I have just seen a whole lot better things from you. This does seem like one of your earlier games. I have played games like this before, I think. Yeah, just isn't for me.

[Cube-It]

I admit that I laughed at the cheap graphics, but I really could get into it. I probably have played games like this before. I just really appreciated how stylistic this was. It was nice to just go around on those blocks. Yes, the designs are cheap, but it still delivers. I guess it's hard to really well design a game like this.

The music was decent. I just liked the new challenges. You really could count as something different. While not great, it was pretty fun to play. I guess it truly deserves its Daily 5th Place, lol. Next time, have more going on.

[Rocket Walrus]

While it was pretty cheesy, I can't say I didn't like this. It gives exactly what it says it's going to. I really do love how simple this is. What was also cool was the references to some other games. I assume they were made by MasterFury, as everyone works with ArmorGames. That walrus sure is fat.

It was nice to just simply collect coins. That's just the standard in games nowadays. I don't know if the giant emoticon face would have hurt you, but I didn't take any chances. I can definitley recognize this style. I like how you respawn from where you died. Granted, it doesn't look that much different, but still.

[AMGAL]

I didn't know there would be another game jam, but this seems quite appropriate. What I like most is how simple it is. That makes sense, seeing as how it was itself made in a short time. I like how soothing the music was. I had no luck trying to find the right person. I played a girl, so maybe that's why?

I don't really know what those yellow dots are supposed to mean. Are they children you accidentally give birth to? They disappear once you touch them. I guess you could say love literally hurts, or rather, a lack of it. Oh wait, I just realized you can also play as a boy.

keybol responds:

Great! That's one way I see it can be interpreted. Or the dots can be experiences you will treasure or learn from. The game has an ending, just hold left mouse for a long time, you'll notice it immediately.

[Civil]

I was impressed at how much I was able to get into this. I don't think I was able to even lose. I assume a few shots at point blank would do me in. I really do enjoy playing this game. I don't know why that one guy seems to have gloves with hands. He has no fingers!

I don't know what the "Civil" means. I guess in a civil sense, you're giving the victim one more chance? I shouldn't say "you're" because you ARE the victim in this. The music is pretty good too. Sticks will never get old, as we all know.

[FPA: World 2 demo]

As a demo, it seems to be for the most part, the same as any other game in the series. I do wish you'd make more of these. Then again, you are going to more professional stuff. It was great to have such a pleasant game. I guess it's so good because it isn't fast paced. All the little sounds and everything are nicely done.

I don't know what spiders have to do with stick figures. Of course, they're really associated with everything. I wish that MLP character would hook up with Rarity. It's nice how you get to see the exit, before getting there. The colors are fairly good too.

[Blackhole Trek]

This is a pretty weird game, but I still enjoyed it. I was just so confused by it. All of the designs seemed so random. There was little rhyme or reason as to what was going on. Of course, black holes are probably supposed to be like that. I guess the graphics were decent.

The premise was usually just to collect the energy balls. Getting rid of the purple pieces just came voluntarily. I like this music, but it wasn't credited as something here. I know I've heard it before. I guess it's just generic music.

[Let It Flow]

I recall some other games like this. I wasn't a big fan of those. This did, however, manage to be quite enjoyable. I think the best part is probably how everything's easy to understand. It is a bit more difficult than you would imagine. I appreciate all the little things going on. Yeah, I pretty much lost it on the second level.

Why are zebras and lions sleeping together? Eh, guess it makes as much sense as animals doing this. The corn looks so happy. While not great, it was still good. The music is fine as well.
