Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Lord Of The Harpoon]

Hey, there CyberDevil. I found this to be a pretty good game. What I didn't understand was how you just seemed to die so easily. I don't even know how that works. It is a pretty good game because of how simple the gameplay is. I'm still not quite sure on the mechanics of how everything works.

The graphics, while not great, are done fairly well. I can just appreciate you wanting to make something simple. This really did drop in popularity, didn't it? At least us prolific reviewers are still here. Not that memorable, but fine.

[Paths 2]

I have to admit that this was quite a challenging game. It was interesting to see just how you could change your environment to beat the level. I had no idea you could actually change it as you were playing the level. That really is cool! I think that alone made me give this 4.5 stars. THE music is pretty cool too.

While there isn't much detail, the graphics are still quite good. All of the colors stand out. It's simply a fun game where you can do a lot of things. It may be hard at times, but it pays off in the end. I appreciate everything.

[Stuck Inside]

This reminds me of a game called "The Red Room" or something. I think this is in fact the same game. I just don't care much for this, because there isn't a lot of detail. It seems pretty dull for something made in 2006, making we think it was made earlier. The labels shown wouldn't go away. They always stayed until you clicked something that had a label.

I am just not motivated to complete it. I can never get far in these kinds of games anyway. It does have a pretty realistic setting. It's a bit of a strange title. The designs themselves aren't bad.

[I Quit! Must Dash!]

For some reason, this did not load properly on this website so I had to play it elsewhere. A pity I can't get medals there. Anyway, I found this to be a very good game. Its biggest strength is probably how simple it is and yet how hard it can be. Most of the work is already done for you, so it's just the same button. I found myself making combos without even trying to.

It's quite an enjoyable game. There's no medal for skipping the intro. If there was, I would not say it. I don't know what saws and green blobs are doing in the workplace. It's just cool.

[Fuzzy McFluffenstein 2]

I think the sound was a bit too loud on this. I think another problem was that it was too easy. It's still pretty cool to see a cat kill mice. I'm glad it wasn't the cat who was dying this time. He was covered in blood, but not his own. The artwork reminds me of "Invader Zim". It's something about the big eyes.

It's nice to have a game that you can just play forever. It's a pretty good environment to interact with. The sounds, while loud, do in fact work well. I appreciated how you wanted to do this again. It worked out well for you.

[James The Deep Sea Zebra]

I think this game probably could have had more going on. It was mostly just the same stuff over and over. Of course, it could be less easy if you really wanted the most points. I love your introductions at the beginning of these games. It puts real depth into the situation. The music's pretty good.

I do like seeing this guy over and over. I think it would have worked better if he explored more. I can always look forward to a new setting for him. A pity you seem to have run out of them. It's well animated too.

[Rotor Snake 2 - Battle#1]

Well, I wasn't very turned on by this game. It just had too many faults. The worst part was probably how I could not really tell how to advance. It was apparently the same level. I don't think I did anything particularly wrong there. I managed to get a medal for trying.

It also didn't help that there was no music. It came across as too bland. I couldn't really tell the difference between what the keys and hourglasses did. I assume I had to collect them all to advance. That's one stupid expression.

sabikDK responds:

Thanks for you review, but Reading could have solved the hourglass problem ;) the hourglass freezes the time for one sec. And you'll have to collect all all Keys to finish the level. I'll trye to make This more clear in the next version ;)

[GARDINI]

I was quite surprised at how much fun I had with this. I think its biggest strength was how you are just so motivated to see what happens next. You probably could have made a new enemy appear, but that's okay. I couldn't control myself when I was jumping with those henchmen. I didn't have much trouble in the air though. The music is pretty nice.

I'm surprised this didn't win a higher award. I guess you have competition or something. I was in fact thinking this would be more of a standard platformer. It's still a very nice game. I'm glad you don't have to search anywhere for a shop.

rhys510 responds:

Waw thanks :P - i released it with loads of bugs still in the game as it was a 5 month project and i was getting to the point of no return (stuck doing nothing with the game) so one night i stayed up and finished then released it without get any beta testers for the last test ><

thanks :D

[Deflector]

I could think of what this game would be like, but it was much better than I thought. I really like the music. It was really interesting to have a game that kept you on your toes so much (I say that too much). My favorite upgrade was the one where there were three balls made. Then again, I couldn't really understand the other upgrades, or powerups. It's just a very good game.

At least it managed to win Daily 3rd. There is always something going on here. The sounds were quite good and synched up very well. I like how the enemies have different designs. I'm still not quite sure what their differences are in terms of attack and hits needed to destroy.

[Escape from the NorthPole]

I couldn't understand how I was supposed to get ahead in this. I couldn't get to hit any of the elves that came in front of me. There was always a barbed wired fence that killed me. I couldn't see anything about that in the instructions, it was so weird. I don't know if I'm missing something here. I don't know why there's no space in "NorthPole".

It doesn't make it cool or anything. This is just quite unentertaining. The graphics weren't too bad. I've played much better Santa themed games. Not much of a Christmas present.
