Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sponge and Leroy V.2]

I didn't know what to expect with this game, but it was quite wonderfully done. I think the main reason I like it is because how well it works in its simplicity. I'm fairly certain you reuse the sound effect from the Mario games when he gets a coin. It was just fun to collect everything. You made quite an unpredictable game. I had no clue black blobs would be the enemies.

The sounds and music are just fun to listen to. It seems like it's a game where you have a lot of oppurtunites to beat it. My only complaint is that it could have had some better details. It's still an extremely ambitious game. At least you won some good award for it.

[infect. evolve. repeat.]

This is the highest rated thing I think you have made on this entire website. I honestly don't think it's some of your best work. I do however, have to appreicate it for being nicely done. It's rare that someone makes a science game. I especially think it's cool how you describe your research in the author's comments. You truly worked hard on this.

It makes sense this would be so popular. I do, however, think that it could have had some better designs. For the most part, it's quite a playable game. I really like this really sinister music you have. It suits the game well.

[Armored Ashura : Ultimate]

This seems like just the perfect game to have medals. Of course, you do have this other listing thing. I appreciate all the great graphics and artwork. I just didn't see how it was that different than the original. It's weird, because the boss is absolute murder compared to the other enemies. My combo record is 40.

It's so nice to have all these awesome powerups. You have no idea what you're going to get next. I don't even know how stronger some of them are over another. The music is quite triumphant as well. I might not be that good at it, but it's a great game.

[Zorro Tank]

I don't see a lot of tank games here. I am glad that people like you make them! This is quite fun and there is a nice open space for you to go about your business. While not great, the details are quite nice to look at. Everything just appears to be in an easy to understand manner. You can just stay in the same spot and fire over and over.

I like all the funny names used in this. The music and sound effects are quite good too. My only complaint is that it is a bit hard to use the controls. Hello down there, Cyberdevil! It's pretty easy to win in death match as I'm only one player. You should have a computer version.

[Antichromatic]

I'm freaking amazed that this was made for a ludum dare. Those games tend to be pretty short, but not this one! I simply don't know how to get past the part with the two camera things firing at you. Nothing seems to work. I didn't enjoy it as I had no clue how to even play it. I couldn't even get my gun to work. I imagine I could use it at that point.

The music, however, its quite stylish. I appreciate the nice details and I like the idea of going back and forth in a black and white world. It's also nice to have an automatic pause. I just wish I could understand it. The title is fairly good.

[Pests]

Wow, this is a game that really frustrates me. It seems like it should be easier to play. I don't want to become addicted to a game I'm not even good at, or one I don't care for at all. You do deserve credit for having some pretty creative designs. I don't know if turning the enemies into white pellets helps with anything. There are just an infinite number of ones that come. I could basically just keep destroying in the same place and never advance!

I think I actuall did worse when I found out you could kill the enemies. The destruction was a bit distracting. I think it has a petty nice design to it. The sounds worked well and fit the mood. Is this really a game where some medals have zero points?

Floriaen responds:

Wow thank you!

The medals are not validated because I couldn't test them:
because I am bad with my own game I never unlock them :p
I will fix that.

[Diver Duck!]

This worked out fine, because it had an okay premise. For the most part, it's not that memorable. There really isn't much to stand out at all. I guess you were trying to be more deep with the author comments. It just came off as mediocre to me. The duck sounds were fairly authentic.

I was glad you did not have to press down so much. I thought you did at first, but you really just have to move your mouse around. The artwork is pretty good. I just don't know why a duck was used of all animals. I guess it was maybe trying to be like "Ducktales"?

[StickMan Sam - Part 1]

I thought this was a good game. My biggest complaint about it is that it's basically a tutorial. It's just the same thing over and over. I can understand how you would have to know this stuff. I guess I should have figured out how to change guns. It was mostly the same thing over and over. I still enjoyed that.

It was interesting to see what kind of technique you could come up with to destroy the orbs. I really liked how the falling debris exploded. Granted, that hurt you, but I never died from it. I can imagine that happening to some enemies though. Of course, they would be the enemies in that case.

[HoverBot]

I admit that there are some parts of this game that aren't that appealing. It's mostly because you don't have a lot of stuff going on. I found it hard to tell what was ground. At least I was glad that there was some solid black stuff there. I found it funny how easily you died. Okay, flying is a lot better than hovering.

The artwork is fairly decent. It's for the most part a pretty standard game. I think the music is fairly suiting. I guess there were a lot of games about robots around this time. Robot Day hadn't even come out yet.

[Slime Laboratory]

This is the first time in awhile I've played a game that was licensed by Miniclip, but not on their page. Well, the same thing happens for Armor Games too. I thought it was interesting to have so much mobility. The parts with the lasers were quite difficult. You had to be cautious of what was coming up next. I think the music is really nice.

I thought you waited for the green chambers to come up with more slime. It apparently only happens once per chamber. It certainly looks like there's more. This reminds me of Nitrome games. I don't think you're part of that, though.
