Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Christmas]

This was just a mediocre game. I think the main thing that weighed it down was how there wasn't much in terms of design. I don't know why Santa would be chasing you. I guess it makes as much sense as any other game. It seems to be too easy in Survival. I do like it how you can go from one side of the screen to the other.

The title is also a bit too generic. It doesn't really have graphics that are that bad or anything. I guess it works fine as a harmless little game. The music is pretty suiting. It can't be that hard to find Christmas music of course.

[Armor Games Pinball]

I found this to be a pretty enjoyable game. You guys have made so many games it only makes sense you would make some games with your name on it. I think the graphics could have been better. I think there should have just been more going on. The music came off as a tad strange. I like how you have to last a certain time in order to advance to the next stage.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works at least. It looks like you were looking for a medieval theme here. I guess it makes as much sense as anything else. I recognize the text. I've never played a game that had controls like Z and /.

Haha this was so long ago!!

[The 8-Bit Wizard]

Well, it was hard for me to really like this, seeing as how I'm so bad at it. I guess I'm not as big of a fan of video games as I thought. Of course, these questions were mostly about stuff that came out in the 1980's and I was not born yet. The music is pretty authentic. I managed to at least get some right, probably only because I was lucky. At least it's easy to play.

Not really much of a Mega Man fan. I guess I don't know enough about video game history to do well with this. I sincerely thought that I did! The questions themselves are presented in a pretty nice manner. You didn't just use standard text.

[Whack-A-Plane!]

Looks like this wasn't that popular, as there are no highscores. Once again, there hasn't been any reviews submitted in years. I am glad to be a part of this. I think it's really cool how the graphics are done. It does have one major downside. You can't keep your finger on the button to shoot.

You have to keep on pressing it. The background is nice enough. This is in fact pretty creative with the enemies. I really don't even know what's going on. It's nice to have a Christmas themed game like this.

[Rotting Onslaught]

That was a different kind of zombie game, meaning it came off as unique to me. It did escalate pretty quickly with the giant spiders. Those have to be some of the most annoying things out there. I couldn't really figure out how to get strategy. The part where it became night was the hardest. I'm assuming that's what happened.

You have pretty good designs here. It's nice to get the big picture of what you're up against. The music helps with the atmosphere nicely. I think I have seen this style before. I really like the title.

[Crazy Steven]

While not one of my favorites, this was still a good game. I just liked how simple it was. I had no idea there would be obstacles in this. It's nice to see a layout that's easy to understand. No, I'm not stupid, I just like it that way. The music is pretty killer in this. I don't know why random blocks would be on the road.

Of course, a serial killer not getting caught doesn't make much sense either. I thought the graphics were pretty impressive. It could have used more variety. Donkeys must be fun to ride. His hat on the menu screen makes him look like Ash Ketchum.

[INVAZIA]

I must say, this was a lot more entertaining than I thought it was going to be. I thought it wouldn't be much fun at all, because I couldn't get far in it. It took me awhile to get used to the controls. I think this is one of the best games created for an NG game. My only problem was how you had to press "E" to pick something up. There was a nice variety of enemies.

Happy fourth of July! I guess that doesn't mean anything now, but whatever. I think the music was quite stylistic. I'm not even sure how I know what my score is. Overall, this was very good once you get used to it.

Guy-Unger responds:

Ah, thank you so much! Yea you're not the only one with that problem but I can't really think of a good alternative.

[Motorjoust]

It's hard to recommend a game you have such little comprehension of. I really should have known that this was part of another NG game jam. I didn't understand why there wasn't any sound in it when I played it. I was thinking it was some mistake as there was sound in the cutscenes. It's hard to look for medals when you don't know what any of them are. The graphics weren't terrible, I guess.

I was just looking for something easier to understand. I didn't know how to jump or anything. I imagine you just have to go into the other lane. It's pretty unique, I suppose. I'm not much a fan of the original game.

WingDemon responds:

Well, to answer some of your questions bro, there was music. I guess it didn't work for you for some reason, try checking your flash version and sound settings. The medals are all for doing normal parts of the game so you earn them just by playing the game, we didn't want to force people into certain circumstances (like making them use the editor just to earn a medal) so we made them hidden. And the graphics were an homage to classic NES games like Excitebike and Megaman and stuff.

anyway thanks for trying it out, glad you thought it was unique.

[Santa's Vengeance]

I was quite turned on by this. I think the best thing is how well it's paced. I don't know what green monsters are doing attacking Santa, but it's fun to play! My only complaint is that I think the controls could be better. The jump button shoudl be "W", not "D". That's just what most people do.

I think the graphics are quite nicely done. I like how loud and big the sound effects were. It took a lot of shots to take just one of these guys down. It's great to see Santa in such good action. The music was stylistic too.
