Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[MS Paint Collab 2023]

Uh...I feel so bad for not giving this a higher score. It's just that the format could be better. The lines outside in the gallery aren't that good. It's still always great to see all these artists come together. It can be quite challenging. That isn't quite a good thing in this case.

The music's fairly good. I believe I played the original MS Paint Collab. I've seen or played everything here! It's so much more common to see tons of credits nowadays. I'm not that good at first person things like this.

[Cannonballin']

I found myself enjoying this. It may not have been that well detailed, but it was certainly quite fun. Wow, you added medals fast. I assume a 30 is when you get the medal. I got close at 28. I didn't even know how to collect those things at first.

I admit I was annoyed at how the dialogue was repeated. I never had problems with air. It was pretty easy to just avoid stuff if you wanted to. At that fast a rate, you can get lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view). It does a lot with its simplicity.

critatonic responds:

I was able to update it so the dialogue is skipped when you reset, thanks for the feedback.

[It Was All For The Tuna]

I loved this game because of how cute it was! I admit it did get annoying with finding new fish. They were everywhere at first! I was confused as to why I wasn't getting any new meat. I realized I had to get in front of the fish every time. I should have known it wouldn't be that easy.

It helps that the protagonist is a cat. They love to eat fish! Then again, they'll eat any kind of meat. I loved how graceful it was. The graphics are amazing too.

[Harvestigator: An IRS Tax Auditing Game]

I have to admit I have no understanding of how this game is played. It's just weird how I would ever want to work for the IRS. What is this "Grand Theft Auto"? I think those guys have higher morals than the IRS. I just enjoy mocking them. You think I'm going to look up information about them?

I find that too morbid. I do like the set up. It is in fact pretty unique. I just can't get ahead. I don't want to know how those guys get ahead in the first place.

[VA-13 | LD52]

Yeah, this was nothing particularly special. That being said, it's not horrible. The best part is probably how it's easy to understand. You at least get a clear view of everything. It's just nothing unique at all. There have been too many games like this to count.

It's just shooting stuff. Ooh, the enemies keep on going after you die. That's kind of cool. The details are too minimalist. It's at least better than many lowest rated things for Dare.

[Bloodsoil]

This was good, but I didn't think it was great. It was mostly because I wasn't good at it. It was cool to see the plants grow. I'm glad you had the same number of vegetables. I didn't want it to go on too long. Zombies are always awesome.

The shotgun's the best part. It's a pity it has limited ammo. Well, realistically sickles are better. The animation/graphics were quite good. I really need to look at my health bar.

[Badass Beatrice]

I'm sorry, but this just looked really cheap. It looks like something from 2000. I do find it funny how you get expelled for giving someone the finger. I mean, you set stuff on fire and shot stuff! It was obviously inspired by Pico. A ton of stuff here is Pico anyway.

Dang, I need to look at the audio credits! Then I would have known it was Pico music! I am impressed by the high score. This is just my opinion that it's bad. At least nostalgia is good.

NevaZ0r responds:

the game wasn't inspired by Pico actually lol, there is an easter egg from Pico's school in the game (which is where the pico music is used) but the game was actually inspired by School posters they used to hang in classrooms like "Rules of being a good listener"

[Hexagon Puzzle Blocks]

Well, I had trouble loading this game. I'm not even sure why. It has a very simple premise. I know it's going to get a lot harder. I'm just not interested in playing the whole game. It's good for a little game. It isn't all that original.

Thank you for including a walkthrough! All puzzle games can be solved like that! The graphics were pretty good. I seemed to have to put them in the same place twice to win the level. It's probably just how the game is slow for me.

[Downhill to Infinity]

I should have looked at the controls first. Anyway, I just didn't care for this. It's mostly because I'm no good at it. I did like how there was a great looking menu screen! I did like this animation. I guess I'm not into skateboarding games.

At least I got some experience out of it. When I started to get the hang of it, the holes just disappeared! Oh, I probably just jumped over them. I wish there was a simple "Jump" option. Well, that isn't the point of skateboarding.

cheesycoke responds:

Thank you for the feedback! Sorry to hear this didn't exactly vibe with ya, but I totally get it. Appreciate that you gave it a good shake, though!
Also "When I started getting the hang of it, the holes disappeared!" Gotta love random level generation

[NG BBS Awards 2022]

Yeah, it took me awhile to open up to this, but it's very fun. I've played representations of computers like this and they're always entertaining. It's not that hard to find the hidden medals. You just click on anything you can! I guess I shouldn't explain how to get them, then. Some people won numerous awards.

That's not their fault. They're just that awesome! Aww, there's no reviewer awards. Well, quality is more important than quantity anyway. Hey, a lot of people like my reviews!

Little-Renastair responds:

If you have suggestions for awards, feel free to PM me, and I'll try to include them next year.
