Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rage 2!]

I was pretty impressed at how good this game is. I think it's probably better than the original. What I especially like is how you're allowed to hit the tanks. That's awesome! I may not be that good at this, but I certainly had lots of fun with it. I just like how fast paced it is.

It works so well as a time waster. It's been too long since I've used that phrase. It probably could have had more environment. I do like different modes, though. It's just great to see how well you can animate with just stick figures.

[Forgotten Child]

Well, what can I say? I understand why this has the lowest rating of anything in the Ludum Dare 28. It's nice you at least managed to make it into the collection. I think your biggest flaw was how there was so little control over yourself. I couldn't understand where I was going. You also needed to have some music in this.

The artwork was pretty bad. It was just basic simple lines with no shading. That's something I always look for in design. It doesn't need to be that difficult. Does the contest mean you only get one child?

purefloat responds:

The relation to the theme is that you only get one minute. I completely agree with you as far as music and art go, but I hardly worked on the game Saturday giving me much less time than I needed for a fully polished game.
Because of some programming flaws, control is much more difficult at lower framerates. I find that it's almost unplayable if a lot of other things are running in the background.
Thanks for writing an actual review :)

[0RBITALIS]

Well, this is one of the most bizarre games I have ever come across. I guess I would need to see a walkthrough to understand it. What can I say? I do recommend it because I want other people to try to understand it. I really have no clue at all what's going on. Can you even go to the next level in any way possibe?

I still give you credit for making something quite creative. It really is original. Too bad I can't get ahead in this. The sounds are quite omnious. I think it would have worked better as a horror game.

[One Life Only]

Well, I think this was a pretty interesting game, but if only I was any good at it! I thought it was pretty annoying with how you had to fire so many blasts to get rid of one enemy! Then again, that was probably the point. It's easy to see how few people have gotten far in this. Kudos to you guys. I'm impressed at how you got the thumbnail in this.

It is not that popular. Hopefully, that publicity will help you. If only I had as much energy as the enemies. I don't think you even get points for killing them, just getting ahead. It's nice to see that crocodile mouth.

[You Have One Box]

I was pretty impressed by this game. I will say it wasn't the best the Ludum Dare 28 had to offer, but still decent. I like how complicated it can get even though the graphics are simple. This shows you can make something good in this short a time. The most annoying part is how you have to control him when he's on the box.

You really have to bring the box up on the exact level. While the design was simple, it was still quite nice. I think the music is pretty cool too. It's all around good game. My favorite is the level t all the blue buttons.

[You Only Get One Face]

I found this to be a pretty easy game, mostly because I could just do anything and come up with a medal. It was probably a bit too easy that way. I still think it's okay. There was just not much going on at all. I can't blame you for a game made in such a short time. I still have played games that did a much better job.

I guess a barber game is pretty original. The music was fairly good too. I like how much it seems to be from the Gay Nineties. Historians won't snicker at that one! I just don't want to have facial hair.

[Shine]

I was quite impressed by this. I didn't know this was part of the Ludum Dare. Looking back, I can now see that it does look like it was made in a short period of time. It's still a very good game. What I think makes it so good is that it really is an original concept. You don't really have any enemies in this.

I like how the light itself can hurt you. Well, not so much hurt you as cause you to lose a life, which I guess is hurting. I appreciated how it was done with graphics too. Thanks for the easy medal(s)! It really is pretty innovative.

[Candy Raver]

I found this to be a fairly enjoyable game. I did have the complaint of how hard it was on the second level. It just seemed impossible to get the right angle. I also think that the graphics could have been better. It was a bit hard to even see that those things were candy. It still isn't bad at all.

I like games where you can float with fans. It's just a very cool concept to me. The music is fairly good. As it's December, it really does remind me of Christmas candy. It's simply quite popular around that time of year.

EggysGames responds:

Thanks, it's a very old game now of mine I didn't realise it still got plays at christmas so thats great. Yeah the game was a little too hard lol, needs toning down. Thanks for the review.

[Jerry's Merry Christmas]

I'm not into point and click adventure games much, but this wasn't that bad. I think it's a pretty nicey done game. I was able to collect quite a few things, even though I couldn't really use them well. It also helps that this is so much in the Christmas spirit. I just now remembered I bought a new laptop! You're the first review where I've mentioned that!

The sounds and voices are pretty nicely done. It does kind of make the mistake of being a bit bland. I can still appreciate slice of life stories. Speaking of Jerry, I wonder if he has a Festivus tree? It's a pretty realistic environment.

[Rolley-Ball]

I was really impressed by this! You deserve the awards you won! I am so glad that you have an innovative game. I actually have a small game I got in a Happy Meal or something, that was Frogger or something. I still play it sometimes. This was almost the exact same thing.

I am so glad that you didn't die by touching any side. That would have reached "I Wanna Be The Guy" levels. I don't really know how you gain points. I just liked the three dimensional look of everything. It's simply a very creative game.
