Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wreckanoid]

I love those X-noid games. I think the best thing is about how everything is so unique. It seems like most of the blocks have different designs and functions. You don't know what kind of powerup will show up next. I also appreciate creativity. It helps I'm so used to this music.

There's nothing credited, but I know I have heard it before. I like how you can control how fast the ball goes. Sometimes you forget you can go under the blue line. While there aren't many details, the ones that are there are quite good. I really liked this.

[[ VORTICUBE ]]

It was quite hard for me to understand this at first. I am glad I realized that you could move in depth with the letter keys. It's still pretty difficult, but then again, I did go on hard mode. I really liked all the little details that were in this. It gives you a good sense of being off in a strange world. I always liked games that made their own worlds.

I had no idea jumping at the screen could hurt you. Didn't get much of a high score. It's still very playable. The sounds and music are done very nicely. I just now realize it's in a cube. Thank you for this inventive game.

[You Are Disabled]

I really should get used to playing these Ludum Dare games. I admit that this was a fairly creative game. The part I could not get past was when there were spikes on the top of the roof where you jumped. It didn't make any sense to me. I was hoping I'd eventually be able to read those signs, but I could not. It seems like this was trying to make some statement about handicapped people.

Or maybe not and I'm looking too deep into this. I appreciated all the little effects, like the fireballs. You really did have to watch carefully for those things. Yeah, it is pretty unfair, but most games can be like that. I always jump too high.

[Music Smash]

I thought this would be a good game, but it really got better! It's mostly because you use different parts of the platforms. I knew it was too easy to just dodge them from the top. I like this probably more than most rthyum games, although it probably qualifies as one. The music, obviously, was a nice touch too. It's just a well done game.

It didn't need to be too well detailed. It reminds me of a certain boss in "Super Mario World". I like how the parts just seem to stagger around. You can in fact just go to a certain spot that struts out the least number of times. Of course, that doesn't work anymore when it gets harder.

[Mole Hunter]

I have to admit that there wasn't that much to this game. It just seemed like a standard game where you hit moles. I think you could have a lot more variety. You could make it so that the moles get faster at retreating as the game goes on. Then again, they don't really retreat at all to begin with. The graphics are just fine.

There just isn't anything I find unique about this. I guess the game is a bit too easy. At least I was able to beat my score once. The music is fairly good. Maybe it's a bit too happy, but it does suit the game when you think about it.

[Slitz]

I found this game to be pretty enjoyable. The best part is probably how you can track where your enemies are. It's weird, because it makes it look like they are in different quadrants. Really, it's all the same square that you can't leave. Eh, I don't know much about geometry. I just like shooting ships.

I thought the sound effects were fairly nice. I always make the mistake of not shaving my ammo on these games. Of course, it doesn't really matter that much, it just looks bad. The designs were fairly good. The title's pretty nice too.

[UFOMania]

While it wasn't that well designed, I still found this to be a pretty good game. It's kind of weird with how it works, but also quite original. I do appreciate all the work put into making these games. The music is pretty nice and omnious too. It's just not that memorable. I think it would have worked better if it was more detailed.

I think the best thing about it is how it's interesting to see your enemies. I rarely play games where the civilians attack you too. I just love those rocket launchers they have. They rarely do much damage to me anyway. It's quite good.

[Captain Braidy]

That was a pretty weird game. I couldn't really understand how I was supposed to get ahead. At first, jumping on the stars didn't do anything. It worked later, but it didn't really help out that much anyway. I like the music at least. I wonder what happened to the second part in this series?

It is pretty funny to see that sad clown. That image will simply never get old. I think the graphics and drawings are done pretty well. I'm just more into your Thing-Thing series. You know, more gore.

[Accumulate]

While there wasn't that much going on, I still liked this. I am really getting used to hearing that music. I think the best part about it is how it was so simple. I wasn't even quite sure what I was supposed to do at first, but it was pretty easy to figure out. There isn't much else to say about this because it's so simple. Of course, it works fine that way.

I guess it didn't really get harder. It seemed like the same number of green balls showed up as the other ones. I could tell the red ones were bad. I now realize it's modeled after the stop sign colors. Not the most creative, but still nice.

[Defend Atlantis]

I admit that this was a really cool game! I really had no idea what to expect here, but it turned out to be truly original. It was a bit hard to understand at first, but the sheer creativity got you hooked in. I just love the notion of enemies being bounced off of you. The graphics are really good too. You guys really have made a wide variety of games.

I think this experiment really worked out for you. I like how it works so well with its simplicity. It is creative like that. I appreciate all the work put into all of the designs and stuff. It's an original game worth checking out. It isn't even as easy as you would imagine.
