Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Barbarian Bob]

Okay, I am so glad you gave the advice of always blocking. I had about as much health as my enemies. In fact, it seems like they took about the same amount of damage at the same time as well. With that being said, this wasn't too fun for me. I just had to keep on guarding and there were no powerups. I will say that it's a good atmosphere.

The songs are nice and the sound effects work well. It's a fairly interesting environment that you have created. Anything with "Bob" in the name is cool. You're really going to need to work hard on this. Maybe next time.

[Cursor Thief: Amped]

Well, it seems a lot like the previous entries, but it's still decent. I'm surprised that these are all made by different authors. You probably could have put more design in this, with graphics, shading, etc. Of course, this was most likely not the point. I didn't know what was going on in this with the red things. I assume it was some way to get points?

I didn't know how I could even win in this. Am I supposed to pick him up in some way? I think the red bubbles that fall might weaken him, but I still haven't gotten any points. You should also put in music of some kind. I think the "Amped" name is cute.

[Dragon Fist 2]

Well, this game was certainly playable, but it wasn't that good. I think it's mostly because the graphics just look so shoddy. So many things just don't age well. The sounds were also kind of minimalist. Still, I have to give you credit for having a game that's pretty easy to understand. It's interesting to find out the different kind of moves you can come up with.

It's great to see something you can make on your own. Again, you need to work with shading and there should be music. It's really too basic of a game to be recommendable. Basic things can work, but not like this. I do see potential for this.

[Hired Heroes Offense]

While not a great game, this was definitley playable. I was amazed at how easy it was for me to lose. You really have to do nothing bu put up more soldiers for this. The music is extremely suiting. I really do like the graphics. On the second level, I manage to get the enemy down to just one hit to kill it, but I still lose!

At first, I was thinking this game went too slowly. Now, I think it goes too fast. You know how to create some good tension. There seems to be something wrong with my keyboard now. I like all the unique designs.

[Flash Halo: CTF]

I am someone who is at least somewhat familiar with the game. Of course, with literally thousands of reviews, it would make sense I'd know about it. This makes me imagine what an older version of this game would be. A pity many games are brand new and never had that happen to them. That being said, it's great to see fan versions of this being made. It does have its flaws, like how it's a bit too simple.

I also didn't know how to get out of the jeep. I couldn't even used my gun there well, but I did a good job of stomping my enemies out. The sprite work is done very nicely here. I appreciate you making a tribute to such a popular game. It probably could have used some music, too.

[Miniclip Rally]

I am not one for racing games, but this turned out to be really cool! I guess it's mostly because it's cool to see you race against yourself. It's neat to be reminded of all the past games I've played with you guys. You know how to use creativity. I notice that it doesn't let you cheat. If you take a shortcut somewhere, even if it slows you down, you'll have to go back and do it the right way.

The music was also really stylistic in this. I could tell you were trying to appeal to all the previous games. It's stuff that this that makes me wish you guys would release stuff here. The graphics are really good too. It's one of your most fun games.

[Puzzle Story]

Hey, Cyberdevil! I think this was pretty interesting to play. I appreciated how you seemed to have a surprising number of things going on. I guess it just looked that way because evey level was unique. Apart from being creative, it worked so well in its simplicity. With all these levels, you always face a new challenge.

I was thinking you just had to line everything up at first. I then realized you had to duplicate the effects as shown in the sample. The music was fairly creepy too. While it wasn't much in terms of design, it still worked out well. It's kind of random but that never stopped me from liking something before.

[Starfighter]

I was not able to understand this. I basically went out and tried to hit my target, but then it said I had no lasers. It was strange, because I tried using the other weapons and they didn't work either. It also suffers from too generic a name. I've tried waiting for it to power back up, but nothing seems to work. I just wasn't able to advance much.

I also found it annoying how you did so little in the levels. Apparently, people like this. I wish I had some idea why. Anyway, you need to have more clear directions. I guess there's at least nothing offensive or anything in this.

[Forest Fight]

This was not a good game, but it did have its good points. I think the best thing about it is probably how it is easy to follow. As I've said before, that can also be a downside. You do need to have more variety in your game. I thought you had to use a couple of arrows at first to kill your enemies. I'm glad you just need one.

The graphics just don't hold up well. Dang, I am reaching the age where 2005 seems dated. You could have had the enemies make different sounds. The backgrounds also needed some work. It's not terrible, for the most part mediocre.
