Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sabermania]

I think the graphics are fairly decent, but for the most part, not that memorable. I guess it might be because I'm no good at this game. Then again, when I first played it, I did get pretty far. I managed to cause enough damage to just need one more blow to finish off my opponent. I always failed, but I got that far. I've become rusty over the years.

Lightsabers are so popular, you don't even have to limit them to Star Wars related things. That's how popular that is. You could have had the help part on the actual menu. Then again, you do have a tutorial there. It also describes it in the author's comments.

[Star Splash]

I'm surprised I did not notice this before. While it didn't win any awards, it is a game that has medals. This was a pretty fun game. The first three levels were just too easy. I thought to myself, "It's gonna get soon hard really soon, right?". My guess proved correct.

I just like how lush and colorful everything is in this. The music is also very nice and soothing. I think the hardest part is being able to go out at the right time. It can be a bit confusing with the buttons. This looks like something in the "James The X Zebra" series to me.

[Ultimate Super NES Quiz]

I agree with what some other people say, that you should have had some options. I think it's because this is just too specific. There is one thing that I know comes from a Mega Man game. I type that down and it doesn't work, presumably because I don't list the specific title. Of course, it might also have something to do with capitalizing. These should probably be multiple choice.

I am not too keen on quizzes here, mostly because I have too many of them in real life. I don't want to sound whiney, it's just that you have good graphics and they could be used better. The music is fairly decent though. At least those are good quality screenshots. I take that back, the music is really good!

[Kick Out Kim]

I thought this was good. It seemed like a grave mistake to not have medals with this. A lot of people are motivated by that nowadays, you know? I did think the artwork was good. Come on, he deserves to be pummeled more than Justin Bieber. I wish there was some number on how many people he has killed.

I thought some of the attacks were pretty creative. I still don't know how to use the grenades. The instructions just kind of keep on showing up. There should be a collection on this website for games in the "Launcher" genre. There's certainly enough.

[REAKTOR]

At first, I did not quite understand this game, because I couldn't control it much. I'm glad I figured it out soon. One main reason why I liked this so much was because I'm just good at it. Even without medals (so far) it's a lot of fun. I like all the sound effects. They seem to add in a good sense of uniqueness.

The game just came off as quite original to me. I never thought I would be able to beat one level. It just seems to be something that goes on forever. The graphics could be better, but I really don't care. It makes up for that in innovation.

[Slender Survival]

It was strange with how easy this was for me. Some people seem to complain how it's quite difficult. I guess I'm just really good at it. I got every single medal on my first try except for the secret one. I think the other one in the series was better, because it was just more challenging. Well, I have played a lot of games here.

I wonder if any other villians will get games like this? You know, like The Rake or Jeff the Killer? The graphics are fine, but it is just basically me going in one direction over and over. Again, I'm not complaining with the medals. You just need to be more creative.

Brunodev responds:

Yeah you are good at it haha! All you need is timing management. Thanks for your review Ericho, and congratulations on your score!

EDIT: The Rake...hm...interesting idea. Thanks =D

[Misadventure]

Dang, was this one strange game. I saw the meter on the right pointing to 6 so I thought that was how many lives I had, but I died there. Anyway, the graphics weren't much, but I doubt they were supposed to. It's interesting to se you make such a strange and surreal game. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it that much because of how incomprehensible it is. I'm just glad I got the medal of failure.

I like how there are a lot of unexpected things going on. I just have no frigging idea what's going on at all. The part where I'm really lost is when the three green squares attack you. I can't find anything hidden to escape from that. At least I could get some parts figured out.

[The Ringbearer]

I was answering the right questions at first and didn't even know what I was doing! It's interesting to create a trivia game for us fans. This seems to have most of what you could want in a game like this. The pictures are drawn fairly well. I have in fact read all the books and seen the movies. Wait, I haven't read "The Hobbit".

Anyway, it's always good to make something for geeks. I was thinking a game quiz would be about more things, but this is fine. You obviously studied a lot of LOTR to make this. Someone should make an MLP version. Yeah, that's me.

[Overrun II]

I found this to be a pretty good game. I think its biggest strengths are that you some cool enemy designs. It seems like you were just going around and looking for household objects to throw at us. I don't know what some of these things are, but they're well done. I also appreciate being able to monitor what the enemies do. The upgrades are nice too.

You probably could have had more variety. I can tell when a level is about to end. The most annoying things were the yellow birds because they could attack you from above. Dang, you used a lot of songs for this. It wasn't common in this time to do that.
