Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stinky Bean Fling]

I like most of the bean games, but this wasn't that good to me. I guess it's because there just wasn't much detail in it. I was able to figure out how to use it. I think it might be because I'm just using a laptop or something. I didn't know how to fling them at first. I appreciate you having the same cute character(s).

I guess I was just expecting it to be more gory. Dang, I've been on this website to long to say I want that. Eh, still better than videos where people are injured for real. The music is fairly good. I just like how dumb these guys look.

[Tax Smack]

I personally have not lived on my own, so I really don't know what it's like to pay taxes. Well, I don't know how to file them is that I mean. I liked how simple the premise was. Beating the crap out of people is always fun! It's been awhile since we've featured one of those games. We used to be all about them in the site's early days.

The music was really good too. I also like the little animals and puppets you can punch too. I'm probably not going to check out the high scores. Congrats on the good views. Most people can associate with this.

[My Champion Oliver]

I'm starting to truly understand what you mean when you say you only get one. The notion of one blue cat is quite difficult in this. It doesn't help that the enemies are so much bigger. I did like, in the training part, how you slowly got it to be more like an actual game. It was good preparation. Even the simple medals are hard to find.

I couldn't even find that credits page. I think the music was fairly good. The graphics could have been better. This is why I'm not much of a sports fan, be it in games or real life (wait, real games, games, what?). People who are more into it should like it.

Yep, the game is as hard as the premise suggests it ;-D .I'm glad you enjoy the music, feel free to check the composer's site (link added in the Author's comment)

[Acid Bunny 2]

I really did like this game. It truly reminded me of the original. That being said, I still couldn't remember everything that happened there. I love how smoothly everything flows. It's great to see all these fine details. The sounds are great too.

I'm glad I didn't have to win that volleyball game at the beginning, because I'm no good at it. It's funny how the more violent stuff doesn't stand out that much with the cuteness factor. I wish those balloons could just keep making you go up. The music is quite whimsical as well. It's like a dark version of the BR series.

SeethingSwarm responds:

That's great! Thanks for the comments and the nice score! I'm glad you like the game and it's awesome to hear that everything flows smoothly and that you appreciate the little details. The cuteness factor is definitely there to balance out the creepy and weird storyline and the violence :P

[Biff 'n Baff]

I'm sorry, but I really couldn't get into this. I think the main problem was that it was just too simple. I don't like the idea of just moving these guys around over and over. It's amazing how you're able to make this fairly complicated. I will give you that. I just don't care for the gameplay.

I'm somewhat impressed at all the other games you made in this series. The music is alright. There's just nothing too distinct about it. The names are kind of funny. The space junk does kind of contrast well with their appearances.

[Single Noble]

I am sorry dude, but I could just not figure out how to play this game. I appreciated how it was kind of original, but not much else. There was just way too much inactivity. It was made worse by the fact that there was no music. It just seemed incomprehensible to me. It was weird how I just selected stuff with no results.

I guess the designs aren't bad. There is just so little to be said about it. I don't know what the title of this meant. I thought it was supposed to be something to do with a kind of gas. I know some stuff about science.

[Metal Ball]

I found this to be a good game. It was one of those games that didn't need much detail. I was impressed at how it was not easy. I should have known you couldn't just win by pressing the up button, even on the first level. It really was pretty well thought out. I liked the music as well.

I appreciate how you can work well with such a simple game. I probably have played games like this before, though. It isn't much, but it still works. Hard to say how it could be improved. It just is what it is.

[Fire Catcher]

Well, I simply can't give this a rating lower than 4.5 stars. I was amazed at how good the graphics were. I even managed to be fairly good at it. You really have created a fairly unique world to explore. Everything just flows together so well. The controls could be better, but still great.

The music was also quite omnious. I hope I spelled that right. I liked how all the things you hit seemed to have different ways of reacting. I think I may have killed my first enemy my accident. How do you even kill a ghost?

[Evil Doll]

I admit that I was quite confused by this game. I really didn't know how to beat it. I was unaware you even COULD. I guess I'll give you props for making something different. Couldn't I just stay in the same spot the whole time? I wasn't sure when I had the right control.

I do appreciate the artwork. It looked like there was a portrait of Strong Sad In there. Dang, I wish that website would come back. The atmosphere is set up fairly well. I know that game isn't too detailed being made in such a short time.

[Day X]

Well, I guess this worked quite well as an experimental game. I really should be expecting these game jams more. What turned me off was how it was fairly short. Then again, it was also pretty hard. I really did have fun with it. I'm not quite sure what the true meaning is. Even the theme stated doesn't make much sense.

I thought he looked like a moose when he turned red. The other red guys looked more like demons. He definitely became something like him. I like going back, as it's so easy. I thought there would be more than one day. That is of course, the title of the game.

rottenmage responds:

Yeah, one of our programmer mentioned that it looked like a druid. We wanted the game to be a mundane day of the main character. We wanted to name the Day "Random Number" e.g. Day 235 but decided to settle with "Day X" in the end.
