Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Michaelsoft Binbows '97]

I thought the title was "Bimbo". Well, that would have been too far from the actual name. I still loved this, because we need more parodies of computers! Michaelsoft's a pretty funny pun. I knew there'd be an explosion when I shut down! It's just great to search for every little detail I can. We all know what it's like to deal with a faulty computer.

Well, back in 1997, all computers were like this. I think I had a computer back then? I remember being in class at that time and being like the only kid to not have a computer. That's such an original joke for Minesweeper! Nobody really liked that game. The lack of medals showing up makes it more authentic.

[A Toad's Trip]

I'm probably only giving this a high score because I managed to get far in it. At first, I was afraid I'd have to do different tasks every day. I'm glad the game was so much simpler! I just got stuck in a fence at the end of the game. Maybe that was because of the pills I took. I still couldn't beat it.

I was afraid the banana peels were trash I was supposed to push along. I was afraid all the trash was something I had to push along and I'd lose by swallowing them. That's why licking toads gets you high! Well, it's reversed in this scenario.

[Subsist Baddies]

I admit that the artwork didn't look that good. Well, should I say the spritework? This was still a pretty addictive game. Yep, it's only because of the medals. I'm glad to have come by such a big game. You really get the big picture here.

The music was impressive, although maybe a bit too loud. You had a fairly good variety of enemies. I am glad it got Daily 4th Place. That um...seems to make sense. It's good for a timewaster.

[Valkyrie Command]

Well, this is indeed a great game, but damn is it hard! I mean, I thought I'd get medals for just beating the boss! It was still gorgeously done. I'm glad sprite work is still popping up every now and then. You had to do a lot of maneuvering in this. I'd have to train for a long time to get it done.

The colors are so wonderfully bright. I don't care about the backstory. I've never heard of any Mech Jam. Well, there's so many of those jams to even keep up with at this point. I thought I was better at games.

If you teach a man to fish, he'll play this game all day. This wasn't bad. It was just kind of annoying having to play a rhythm game. Well, just catching a fish would be too easy. I guess I was thinking more of a game where you saw the hook go down. Those are just better.

This is some nice sprite work. I like how unique it is. I'm glad you can pause the game. I guess this is just it. It's fine for what it is, just not great. It's a pretty laid back game.

[ZemmiPhobia]

If you thought I had never heard of ZemmiPhobia before, you'd be right. There is a phobia for literally EVERYTHING. It is indeed a phobia of the naked mole rat. Well, it's more of a fear of the GREAT mole rat. This is very nicely animated. It is repetitive, though.

Given the surreal nature of this phobia, that makes sense. I thought the mole rat was animated by Luis at first. I can tell this is part of a jam. It still doesn't have its own section. I'm still motivated by how goofy this is.

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for the review! We are very happy you enjoyed it. It was animated by Fellowes and colored by me.

[The Last Piece of Cake DX]

I would say that the cake is a lie, but that's a discredited meme. Wait, this came out before that meme! I can still say it! The cake is a lie. Well, not if you win this game. I didn't even know this was a game at first.

This is my brother's birthday too! I guess you could call this a celebration of his birthday! I didn't even know this was a game at first. You can tell it came from 1999. That must be some record for latest submission.

[Jumping Clones]

This was a great game, but it was very difficult. Dang, I sound too whiney. I know there's a walkthrough somewhere. I've gotten used to games like this from you. No, not that I'm getting better at them. I just recognize them more.

I got further than some reviewers! Yeah, it's the little things that matter. The music was quite appropriate. At first, I thought those red teleportation things were traps. The red blocks looked dangerous too.

[OVERDOSE (0.38)]

Wow, this was a hard game. I had no idea it would just take one blow to kill you. I would have to really train to become good at it. It still has wonderful atmosphere. I mean, there was so much going on! I'm glad to have been part of it.

You have to deflect so many attacks. This is a good title at least. I can see why the score isn't that high. It's still something I would recommend, but you'd have to be more skilled to really beat it. I can still appreciate that. This was a game where you can just be killed out of completely nowhere.

POLYCEPHALY responds:

thanks! yea the train level was really hard, its probably going to be one of the middle or later levels in the game, im planning on releasing more levels before it that start out easier and then gradually get more difficult so the learning curve is less steep

[Deal with Putin]

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get the medals. I admit that it seemed too easy. Well, there were still secret medals. At least it's not Kim Jong-Un invading South Korea. I liked the silly animation. It wasn't even a game.

It was more of a visual novel, I guess? There wasn't that much gameplay. A George W. Bush clip? That's old news. Well, Putin should be too.

Little-Rena responds:

It classes as a gadget, which is what it is listed under innit, there are only 2 submission options, Movie, or Game, and it's not a movie.
