Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[O My Head]

I'm having mixed emotions about this game. On one hand, it was a bit creative for what it was. On the other, it just didn't have a lot of detail put into it. I think that the good outweighs the bad for the most part. It was nice to have a simple game. Dang, these guys are freaks of nature for having hair that grows that fast!

You could have had some more variety in their appearances. I'm surprised that all of them want to be bald. The sound effects are pretty funny. I like to see the shaver just jingle around like that. Overall, it's decent.

[Epic Battle Fantasy 4]

Well, congradulations on making the most awesome game yet! At first, I was thinking it would just be about you going around, but it turned out to be a lot better when you actually got the action going! I just freaking loved everything about this. I loved the medals you got for every little thing. You even managed to highlight on Matt and Nate's relationship! Just saying, if I was with someone as hot as her, I'd consider being more than friends.

It has in fact been a long time since the previous entries. I guess they're just so satisfying in their own rights, you don't even want more. You were wrong with this series! The sound effects, music, everything, was absoutely flawless! This is probably my favorite game series on this entire website. To think, I'm generally not a fan of RPGs!

[Turnament]

Now that I think about it, I honestly don't think I've ever played a game from you guys that had medals. What can I say, I don't think the graphics were as good as they could have been. I just felt the image resolution was too big to be that enjoyable. You should have submitted this on a smaller picture. It's still good for what it is.

The most annoying thing is how I don't know how to kill those frog things. I think I have to approach them from a certain angle or something. Or maybe it's about some special power I have a limited amount of? I thought the music set the setting (heh, a bit redundant) well. Oh wait, you can make it smaller, silly me.

[A small talk]

I'm just not a guy who's that much into typing games like this. It seems like something that really limits yourself. I really appreciated the creepy music. It actually was pretty interesting to see what kind of respones you could get. It makes sense there are only secret medals. Everything is so ambiguous here you wouldn't know how to get it anyway.

I got a Game Over after playing chess. Maybe I shouldn't have left it on so long? It's funny with how you can type literally anything here. It has decent atmosphere in general. The graphics could be a bit better, though.

[Balloon Duel]

Okay, listen up because I have a long history with this game. For the longest time, I have played it and had absolutely no idea how to advance in it. I tried every single key on the keyboard and I could do absolutely nothing. I don't think if I ever even noticed the instructions before. Now I finally realize how awesome this is. I have never played the original game.

It's great that you have some awesome graphics. I get the great sense that I'm in a fun environment. I even liked the little sounds you made when you flapped. It's fairly simple, but can still be complicated. I like how you easily go from one side of the screen to another and thank you for making this for me to finally enjoy.

[Megaman vs Ghosts&Goblins]

I think this was very authentic to the style of the original Ghosts And Goblins games. And this is coming from a guy who didn't even play them growing up! I have at least played other games similar to it. My only complaint is that it's pretty hard for me. I can only imagine how hard it must have been in the original games. Mega Man is just that good with projectiles.

Oh wait, I'm thinking of Castlevania. Dang, there were a lot of popular horror themed games back then. I love how you make fun of Arthur in the description. You can even start where you died. Again, don't know if the original game was like that.

[Surf's Up]

I have to admit that I just didn't care much for this. It was mostly because I'm really bad at it. I was unable to make heads or tails of it. It basically just had me going through some tricks which I always failed at. The graphics looked kind of choppy. Then again, I guess it just looks bad by modern standards.

It makes me glad I don't surf. It still has pretty straightforward gameplay, though. It isn't as difficult once you get the hang of it. The sounds were pretty authentic. I just think you guys can do better.

[Balrog Scene Creator V1.1]

I though this was a decent submission. It was just weird with how I couldn't understand it. I couldn't hear any music, but I thought there was some at first. Then again, that could have just been the ad that came before it. I wish I had any idea how to get any of these medals. They're pretty much all of the secret, because they don't tell you how to get them.

I want to tell you that the artwork is very good. I think my favorite bit is probably how they have different reactions. I didn't even know there were that many options for how they looked in terms of color. It has a nice number of options like that. Balrogs are just cool in general.

[simian.interface]

Wow, I was amazed at how fun this game turned out to be! I didn't understand it much at first, but it certainly got better. I can see why so many people like this. It takes something that is very simplistic in nature, but truly shapes it as it should be! I just love how there are so many things going on. It's a wonderful example of how you don't need perfect details to make a great game.

I think chimpanzees have in fact gone through tests like this. I appreciate how different each and every level is. The colors are wonderful too. This is one where you really learn as you go along. It's the best game that's been made this week! Good thing it seems to have the most views, too.

[Desert Fighter]

I should have read the instructions more clearly to know that you could fire against your enemies. Even when I didn't have to fire at anyone, I still beat the first level! The helicopters just sort of went away. I'm amazed this didn't win an award, given how high the rating is. It's a good game in itself. I really liked the graphics. It was freaking amazing how many different enemies could come to you at one time!

I like how it says you fought a glorious fight even when you lost. What it said when you won wasn't too bad either. I like all the action and destruction going on. You even have some nice varieties of environments on the levels. These enemies can be hard in numbers.
