Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trapped 5]

I was surprised at how much fun I had with this. I assumed that the game would be too simple for me to really enjoy. It's great to see how well this holds up. While there isn't much in terms of graphics, it makes up for it in terms of gameplay. I really like how you have so much control over your bombs. It's a great way of showing how something simple can be fun.

I guess I enjoyed it because there's so much to do. You can do whatever you want and use whatever kind of attacks you find. I like how the enemies close and open their eyes. It isn't much, but it shows a form of maliciousness. Very good game.

[Koala Lander]

This just came off as too complicated to me. The weirdest thing was how I managed to die even when I landed on the platform. I thought maybe I was in the wrong position, but I guess I just have to go really slowly. I still appreciate this for being a pretty unique game. The graphics could use some work, though. I don't know why a koala would look for shrimp.

I guess they are both in Australia. Granted, I only know that because of "shrimp on the barby" thing. There also could have been some music. The sounds it did have weren't too bad at least. You guys have worked on much better stuff.

[Ghost wrath]

I may not be able to speak Russian, but this was still a freaking awesome game. It's biggest annoyance is the fact that there are respawning enemies. There are just too many of them to even enjoy. At least I managed to figure out some ways about the Russian language. I might be able to recognize "level" from now on. Of course, that will be of little use to me.

I have to comment that the colors in this were freaking gorgeous! There were just so many of these enemies that were of great variety. I guess it makes sense ghosts would be able to reappear. Too bad I'm not as good at it. You sometimes have to search for the openings you operate with the switches.

GameBalance responds:

But there is an english version of the game too!

[Plop Plop]

I admit that this was a fairly interesting game because of how unique it was. That still didn't change the fact that I didn't enjoy it much as I could not understand it at all. Even the name was too strange. I found it odd how I seemingly was getting ahead when I kept losing. I guess the instructions could just be layed out better. They seem to long to really be worth the time.

I also think the graphics could have been better. They are not terrible, there have just been so many better ones. I thought it was going to be a Tamagotchi like game at first. It possibly was, just not in the way I expected. It's not my kind of game.

It was my first flash game... Thanks for playing and reviewing though.

[Pelican Lost]

I found to just be an okay game. I think its biggest flaw was how there was no variety. It was basically just you crapping on cars over and over. I expected maybe some satire about this. I didn't even know that pelicans did that sort of thing. I also thought it was smaller birds like pigeons that pooped on everything. Pelicans just poop in the sea more.

The graphics weren't bad, but there needed to be more going on. I didn't understand how it was just the same level, only harder. It was at least a fairly unique experience. Everything is pretty easy to understand. I don't think you can crap on other birds. Or at least it has no effect.

[Aggressive Alpine Skiing]

I really like this game because of how it has such a sense of good cheer. You would think I would complain about it being too simple, but I didn't care! It was just great to collect all these stars over and over. It's harder than you think, with how you constantly die if you hit a house. I guess that's fairly realistic though. The music is nice too.

I just love how you have references to your previous works, like Powerfox. There are probably more I would see if I played it more. It makes me wish I lived in a place that had snow. The controls are just so simple and yet you can do so much. It's great to see you with something different.

[Offroad Warrior]

For the most part, I found this to be a good game. The one thing that really annoyed me was how easy it was for me to get injured. Usually, enemy cars don't have much health, but I think that one had as much as I did! Yeah, I'm just being whiney. The graphics are fairly decent. It's not that innovative, due to how it didn't interest me that much.

I can still see myself searching for new and better weapons to use in this. The sound effects are quite well done. It's just that I've played much better games from you. It seems like you were trying something different with this. At least it didn't work out too badly.

[Push Me]

It seems like I have hit the jackpot recently with original ideas in games. Unfortunately, it isn't enough for me to even get a single medal. It struck me off as too strange and hard in some areas. I still can't complain to you for giving me a challenge. I like the noise it makes when you go back and undo moves. It even does that when you can't make any more backing moves!

The music is good. There isn't much detail, but I doubt there's even supposed to be. It also has a pretty strange title. Level 04 is the one I'm really having trouble with. I don't even know what it means to have a perfect score.

[Stonelegs 2]

I'm not sure if I played the original game in the series, but I did not care much for this. It's mostly because you have such limited power with how you are able to move like that. For some reason, I can not advance to the left and have to start the level over again. That shows up too often. I guess I have to give you credit for having a pretty creative idea.

I was hoping I might get a medal simply by not missing the opening scenes, but I was wrong. I guess it just looked too small overall. Again, people who are people at this should enjoy it more. The sound effects are good, especially the way he jumps with his sword. It's strange, but creative.
