Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Radial-]

The game is a good one, mostly because it is pretty unique. It was hard to get used to, but worked out eventually. I think the music's pretty sweet too. I liked how you could control the order the enemies were defeated. It can be too much to have numerous layers put on at one time. While not that fancy, it still worked fine.

I think the title is derived from "radius". I never was good at understanding geometry. It could have used more detail. I guess it is kind of hard to suggest detail in a game like this. It is worth checking out.

Well, for the most part, this was just very mediocre. It didn't help that there was no music in this. It seems this could in fact be better, but it just didn't do much for me. I really thought the graphics were way too simplistic. It was too bad to see how this turned out. I guess it isn't difficult, probably too easy.

I think the failure of this is probably that so few people have contributed to it. I am quite pleased it managed to win some kind of award. Even at two years old, it looks dated by 2007 standards. This is something that demands a sequel. The title is too obvious.

I don't quite know the difference between art and experimental games. That being said, I just loved this! I was really surprised at how it created such a wonderful place for itself. I had no idea at all what was going on. I really do like how you set up all these metaphors and stuff. The graphics are also very good.

It's a great game where you can just go and do anything you want. Everything is so oddly specific. It feels more like an interactive short film. It's definitley worth checking out. The name is just as crazy as the actual submission.

[Id Like To Be The Captain]

I found this to be a decent game. I imagine that any platformer is going to be compared to the Mario games. I was just reminded of it because of the coins. Most games probably have something like that too. The sounds were really good in this. It made me remember how much I like pirates.

Then again, I probably am a bigger ninja guy in general. The title reminds me of "I Wanna Be The Guy". Thank God this is much easier. It was nice to have such a simple game. I don't see why rocks would be the weapons of pirates, but it's nice.

[Jumping Long]

I found this to be a pretty good game. I was quite turned off by the artwork. It just wasn't impressive at all for me. I think the gameplay is actually fairly well done. I do like how it is fairly easy to advance and break your previous records, albeit not by much. The medals and achievements were nice touches.

This guy looks really oriental on the thumb nail. Maybe it would have been more suited for being around the Olympics. It was nice to hear the cheering. I wasn't quite sure if I had to press space at first. It's a decent layout.

[Lumber John]

This was a game that I ws surprisingly able to get into. I just like the idea of having an axe to kill enemies with. Besides that, the graphics were really good. You rarely play good games with this resolution. You really did manage to give it a unique feel. I appreciated that.

Sometimes it gets strenuous, but all the more reason to get better at it! I like how random the enemies are. You really did have a large environment even though the screen was fairly small. It looked quaint that well. Glad it got front page if nothing else.

[Railroad Ruckus]

I'm with most people in saying that this is a good game, but not a great game. It probably could use some better design. It actually does work well with what it has. I was a bit confused as to how to play it at first. I thought you had to change the white tabs to make the trains stop and go. You instead had to...well, you know.

It was kind of funny seeing the dots die. Sometimes, it was easy and they just came on at the same time. It really was pretty original. I do look for games with more going on, but it's nice to have an easier game at first. The music was pretty good too.

[The Missile Game 3D HS]

I found this to be a good game. What I did not understand was how the music went out after awhile. That seemed like a pretty cheap effect. I am in fact glad that this game was made. I didn't even need the map on the lower left at first. Needless to say, that did help me.

While not that inventive, still quite enjoyable. It's nice to see these carved out symbols. I liked to see the stratches that identified the parts you were not supposed to go through. Then again, you could have just noticed they were opaque. Not quite 3D, but still nice.

[Rodman vs Kim: One on One]

I am pretty bad at basketball in real life, so I also turned out to be pretty bad at it in a video game too. I really liked the simplisic graphics. I came up with a prety good strategy. You mostly just have to outrun him. You see, he really is a lot shorter (duh), so you have that advantage. Kim Jong Il was a fan of basketball too.

Let's hope this guy doesn't kidnap a movie director like he did. Or worse, kidnap a basketball player. It wasn't that well detailed, but that was not the point. The sounds were pretty good. I'm glad to know the politics behind all this.

DBuck-Eye responds:

I'm glad that you liked it!

[Pointer]

I was surprised that I liked this more than I thought I would. I think the best part is probably how it's so unpredictable. That being said, there was one thing that really weighed this down. That was the fact that there was no music or sounds. I imagine it was just part of the game and not just something wrong with the game. For the millionth time, I like how games can be fun even though they are simple.

Some of the stuff actually is quite complicated. I appreciated the little timer. It was nice to see how everything turned out. On one level, I died at the beginning and then at the end the second time I played it! I didn't care that the pointer wasn't shown on screen.
