Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Flash Strike! (V1.3)]

I have to praise you for having decent graphics. At the same time, I just didn't think this held up on numerous levels. I didn't like it how it was just the same place over and over. A lot of the effects even looked a bit too cartoonish, even if it was overall good. I appreciate how popular this has become. I always try to acknowledge that, even in something I don't like.

The music is fairly decent. I've never cared much for the Call Of Duty games in the first place. I've become familiar with them due to how popular they are. At least it wasn't too hard for me. It was a good idea to have modes.

[Armada Assault]

I really did not care for this. It seems like this idea has just been done too many times before and much better. I couldn't find any weapons that really suited me. I imagine I was supposed to blow stuff up at one point, but the weapons were just too awkward. I was thinking that maybe people are just better gamers in this sense. It didn't seem to have much of a story.

The graphics are in fact quite good. There are some fairly interesting designs. It's just that I don't care for the controls. It seems a bit too complicated for me to even care about it. I just I'm just so used to playing "RaidenX".

[Gravity Pong : Game]

This game's biggest flaw was how simple it was. Besides that, it was a bit hard to find anything that was really THAT bad. I think the best thing about this is how you don't have to learn a lot of hard instructions. It's weird, because simplicity can be both good and bad for something at the same time. The music was alright.

It was a bit hard to really be interested in it. It wasn't that well detailed or anything. I do get the notion that it probably wasn't supposed to be that elaborate. I think you need to work with shading and I don't know if there are differences between the balls. It just got too repetetive.

[Adventures of Buttlock]

You deserve credit for making a game that's fairly unique. Then again, it did seem pretty similar to "Barbarian Bob". A good thing I like this game more than that. I really like how you don't have to guard against everything. I was pretty confused on how to beat the boss. His weakness is bombs, but that's what he hurts me with!

I thought maybe I had to hit the bombs against him, but it didn't work out. At least you have some decent graphics. I admit they don't seem that appropriate for a game, but that's okay. I think it's a nice setting too. For the most part, it's quite playable.
