Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bubbles (KB Game)]

I didn't know how to play this game at first, but after awhile, it made more sense to me. It's mostly because you'd expect it to be a game where you'd have to catch the bubbles or something. That would have been too easy. I can recognize this music. I will say it didn't have much in terms of graphics. The game just came off as a bit too simple.

I liked the way the symbols just flew out everywhere when you got something wrong. It shows that there's always something interesting onscreen. I can't even tell what that wheelbarrow is for. I never once got stuck doing this. This game was decent.

[Armor Games Snowball]

It was a bit hard for me to understand this at first, but it certainly got better. I just really liked how you had so much time to make your snowball bigger. There have been numerous games that have the Armor Games title in them. I was afraid I had this confused with something else. I like how everything goes so smoothly.

I had no idea there were going to be more people to squash after the people who were falling. It really is a game that goes on forever. It was cool to be able to do away with an abmonible snowman like that. I liked the little sounds they made. It helps that you can get further with this fast.

[The 16-Bit Wizard]

Well, I couldn't really say anything that bad about this. It did kind of annoy me how I wasn't able to get very far. I thought I knew a lot about video games! I guess I'm just more used to studying more relevant things like college classes. Hmmm, could you ever have a college class in studying video games? Anyway, this was pretty good.

It could have been a bit more detailed, but it certainly didn't need to be. I appreciate it for the simplicity it makes for itself. The music is really good in this. I could probably guess it was taken from a video game. I knew at least half, which is better than I thought I would do.

[Ballad of the Cube]

Well, I couldn't make heads or tails out of this. I especially couldn't make heads out of this. I was just so confused as to how to play it. I don't even know how to use the link for the walkthrough. That would be too easy anyway. It really is quite different than the games I am used to. It does have some really good graphics.

I also think the music is done wonderfully. I couldn't help but think it was supposed to be about snow or something. Okay, I understand the walkthrough now. It reminds me vaguely of Cuboy, but more realistic. Okay, cubes have been done before.

[Restaurant Escape]

This was one of the strangest escape games I've ever played. I am amazed at how awkward it was. How could someone get stuck in a restuaraunt anyway? No one noticed as it was closed? Anyway, I was impressed by the CGI. It could have been better, but still pretty impressive.

I'm not a fan of these kinds of games in general. I like how I was able to get far to a certain extent. You cut the wires and then you just go into darkness. I like the music. I think that even is the kind of music you would play in a restaurant!

[XCVB]

Wow, this is a truly frustrating game. I think it's probably the best that's been done in the latest NG game jam. I am just so fascinated at how difficult it is even though it has such a simplistic design. You really get the sense of being in a crazy world here. Everything just seems to go wrong. I had trouble with every single letter.

You had a good idea by having a medal at the end of every level. That made it all the more rewarding. It's interesting to see how the game changes over time, even if it's mostly simple. I'm afraid of becoming too addicted to it. It's not one of my favorite games, I just want to advance!

[Hobo 6 - Hell]

Well, I couldn't get that far in this game. I still think it's pretty enjoyable. I think it's because you're in an interesting environment. There are some people you could kill, but they didn't attack you. You should have been able to use the whip longer. I did like it how I could trick some enemies into attacking each other.

The worst were probably the flying fire breathing furballs. Just a few hits and they could attack. I never got a good way of using my special moves. Half the time, I didn't even intentionally do them. I appreciate how it's creative. I recognize the character, but not the games.

SeethingSwarm responds:

Yeah the Hobo series gets a lot harder and much more challenging in the end. There are useful ways to use all the combos in the game, you just have to learn when and where. For example, using a powerful puke attack against one of those fur balls would do them a lot of damage, just keep your distance ;) Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you liked the game and appreciate its weirdness! :P

[Ultimate Down]

I really liked this game. I think it's probably because it's just a never ending series of zombies that are coming after you. You even got some variety with the hockey mask guy. I don't like it how you have to reload your shotgun every time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I love games that give you a lot of mobility.

This might sound crazy, but sometimes getting yourself cornered is a good thing. It just comes off as more organized to me. There is of course the problem of jumping. You probably could have put some music in it. Still very nice.

[zombie horde ii]

I think this is a pretty good game. I do, however, not like how it's just the same thing over and over. I found it strange that the enemies all looked the same. It still gives you a nice amount of mobility and you have fun shooting them. It cost $5000 to just equip something new? That seems a bit high.

It is fun to keep on doing this. I like how the zombies make this "ooo" sound when they fall down. I thought the roman numerals in the title were exclaimation points. There's another game that does have that in the name. This was fine for a quick little play.
