Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Superstars]

I was pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed this. I think its biggest strength is probably how it's so simple. It's truly interesting to see how far you can go with something. There are always new obstacles to overcome. I thought it was a level game at first and you were supposed to go through the vortex.

I now realize that killed me. Funny, there weren't any in the long game I played afterwards. There should be more games like this. It's actually quite challenging. Could use a bit more details, though.

[Pinball Deluxe]

As someone who's a fan of pinball, this was mostly good. I admit that it got a little hard for me at times. I guess it would have been better if there was more of a central theme. Most pinball games are like that. While not innovative, this was still faithful to what the game's about. The most annoying parts are the ones where you lose when the ball goes down a certain area.

The graphics and designs are fairly nicely done. Deluxe is always a cool word. I don't like how it how I'm booed. What audience am I doing this for? Well, there must be other people in this theoretical arcade.

[Hit21 Deluxe]

I want to say (or type?) right now that I am not a fan of card games. I have learned at least a little how to play some. I am glad, because I was able to understand this more. Granted, that's because it was easy for anyone to understand. I am surprised this is not more popular. I think people who are more into card games should like this.

It helps that the music is so good. Everything is just set out in a nice manner. You really do get the feeling of a Gary Cooper movie with this. Dang, it's been so long since I've seen "High Noon". Not that well detailed, but a game like this doesn't need to be at all.

[String Avoider: Deluxe]

I was actually quite surprised at how fun this was. That one level is the fourth one or fifth or something like that. I really appreciated how cute everything was. The nice little sounds really made it here. It's not the most innovative, but still good. You really don't know what to expect next in the levels.

30 levels certainly seems like a lot. While it isn't that well detailed, I do like all the colors and stuff. Not a great game, but definitley a good one. It's pretty fun to just look at. I know to avoid scissors.

[Cap'n Zappy]

I didn't even remember you making a game. That being said, I don't think you're that great at all. This game is still playable, though. I like to see all the good animation and drawings you are known for. It is a pretty original idea. I like the springy sounds.

I guess it would just be too easy to have enemy after enemy. Boy, do I lose points for shooting the princesses. I'm kind of curious as to how people on springs could hurt you. Of course, that gun is probably fake. Glad I reviewed this in October.

[Neon 2]

Here is another good game. What I really liked about it was how fast paced it was. It's weird, because that also weighed it down. I didn't like it how the magenta things kept following me. They were pretty dang fast and I couldn't shoot them down right away. In fact, I think I was pretty much doomed from when one was after me.

Even the weapon upgrades didn't help. The effects were rather nice. It didn't need to be that well detailed. It's nice to have such straightforward gameplay. Everything worked out pretty well here.

[QuibeLand Evolution]

I found this to be a decent game. It wasn't really that memorable, but it did deliver what it was supposed to. I just think the overall design is pretty nicely done. I appreciate all the little things that go on all the time. The music is also really cool. Where you lost points was how you couldn't really attack the enemies.

The horns on the top of the head made that apparent. I liked how you could stand on things and get whatever it is was in a box or something. I thought that was an original idea. You seem to have a good way of exploring things. It's nicely done.

[Power-Copter]

Sorry that I did not enjoy this as much as most people. Its main flaw was that it just seemed to difficult. I seemed to have a limited number of water balloons I could throw. It was weird seeing water balloons set something on fire! The music was pretty good, though. It's always nice when you go the extra mile and bill numerous songs.

I wish I had more control over where the balloons went. I was thinking I had to put some angle at them, but it didn't work. The graphics are actually pretty well done. My favorite is the squid that comes out of the ship thing. I like the title.

[Year of the Snake]

I thought this was well drawn. I admit that it does lose points with how it just goes on and on. You need to have more of an environment. Have the characters be in an area where you can go on top of things. That being said, this is still recommendable. I really do like the designs of the enemies and it's not just the same designs over and over.

They really are quite creative. I don't see what a snake has to do with any of this. I'm probably missing some symbolism. I don't keep up with what year it is in terms of animals. It could have also used some music.

[Modern Medieval]

I didn't care much for this. The weakest part was probably the design. It was just some stick figures that were red and blue. It didn't have much else going on. I knew the spiked things were not going to be able to be killed. The music is actually pretty good.

It's easy to follow, I'll give you that. It just had nothing out of the ordinary. It's harmless and there's nothing too bad about it. There have just been so many better variants of this done. I think there is some distance going on with how long you hold the bow.
