Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[400 Years]

It's easy to see how you can get frustrated with this game. You don't have much mobility. That was of course the point and it at least makes for a fairly surreal game. I appreciate all the details put into everything. It may not be that descriptive, but it has enough. I guess the protagonist was supposed to be an Easter Island head. I wish I had some idea what any of this meant.

It certainly takes patience to finish the game. I'm glad you didn't mean 150 years in real time. Of course, I should have realized that sooner. The music is very soothing. I'm stuck at the part with the three trees where you can only climb the one in the middle.

[Tie Fighter Assault]

I really can not say that I hated this game, because it did have its good points. The overall design was actually fairly unique. What I didn't like was that it was mostly just the same thing over and over. You need to have more variety with the enemies. Dang, it's still good to see those ships. The music was alright.

You seemed to make pretty authentic sounds. It's just that while the designs were unique, they weren't very good. I knew the enemies were the guys with the tie fighters. Gee, I guess I'm not that big of a Star Wars fan for not realizing that at first. It's just too repetitive.

I couldn't help but think of "Back To The Future" while playing this game. That, and you made a blatant reference to it. I am surprised this does not have a higher rating. It truly is fun. It's pretty funny when you keep mentioning not to touch yourself. Would you even see yourself in this game?

Even the name is really cool. It's quite appropriate as you are trying to go back to the beginning. I do however think that there never was a year zero. This is why a new century technically begins when you reach a year ending in "1". It's even funny when you kill yourself, literally!

[Roar Rampage]

This was for the most part a good game. The only thing I did not like about it was that the controls weren't that good. I mostly just had to keep my finger on the arrow key. There didn't seem to be any point to not just have the dinosaur automatically move like that. The graphics are fairly impressive. It's pretty easy to kill enemies.

I like how the dinosaur has this stern look on his face. It's fun to see the little bits of brick flying around everywhere. Not one of my favorites, but still decent. The music also seemed to help move it along. Dinosaurs are awesome!

[Cathode Raybots]

Dude, I have just been finding addictive game after addictive game tonight! I really liked how there was constantly action going on. It was amazing with how there was such a wide variety of enemies to fight. I had no idea there was an entire row down of those guys that I had not looked at. I wish I had some idea what the title meant. Who cares, this is awesome!

I especially love the sounds. It gives you a great sense of being in a crazy world. I was a tad disappointed you could apparently not really play as a boss immediately. It would have been cooler if you did. The graphics are flawless!

[Evolvo Plus]

WOW! I was in no way expecting this game to be so freaking awesome! It helps that the graphics are completely flawless and you can just never stop playing it! It helps that I'm fairly good at this game. I don't understand how you could even die after you beat the boss. Those mines kept blowing me up, but I never died!

If only you could then go back to the menu. I was just amazed at how insane this was and all the different kinds of fish. My record is 91 of the 100 kinds. I'm glad you don't have to eat all of them in order to beat the game. I thought I was going to evolve into a human at first. The sounds are wonderful too.

[Ghost Light Lost Levels 1]

Ah yes, I remember playing the first version of this game. I am fairly confused as to why it does not even have a "2" in the title. It mostly doesn't work much for me because it's so hard. I know that might sound whiney, but a lot of other people seem to be having problems with it too. At least the graphics are well done. From a distance, it looks like something made by Nitrome.

Yeah, I think they're better game makers. Anyway, it's still pretty cool to see these environments. I had no idea something that looked like the Grim Reaper would be so easy to kill. The music is fairly suiting. I don't know what the point is of the doors on the bottom.

Comacolors responds:

This isn't Part 2. It's basically bonus levels for people who wanted more of a challenge, and some pieces of Algernon's back story people expressed an interest in in the comments on Part 1.

Seems I've created an awful lot of confusion releasing this the way I did, I should have labeled it much more clearly. I hope this mistake on my part hasn't put you off trying Part 2 when I finish it.

Thank you for your input.

[The Snake Game]

At first, I was thinking my medals were not going to show up on screen. It turns out they really did, just at the end. Then, when I survived awhile in normal mode, they didn't show up again. Oh well, at least they acknowledge my achievements on screen. I was quite impressed by this game and thought it would be like a game of Snake at first. I guess I'm glad it wasn't.

Green and orange happen to be the favorite colors of my brother and I, respectively. How ironic the orange ones would be the most annoying. I don't even know if the orange snake ever goes offscreen. It's basically the same thing after awhile. It still manages to be fairly challenging.

Jindo responds:

Originally the medals did unlock as you progressed but I noticed (for me at least) that the game froze for a split second when each medal appeared, which could cause problems if you're in a hairy situation with regard to the number of snakes on screen, so I stuck with unlocking them at the end!

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!

[Actiony Arcade]

I thought this was an okay game. It mostly didn't come off as that appealing because it was too easy. I thought the graphics were not that good either. Of course, I couldn't really help but think that might have been the point. It was probably just meant to be something quick and easy. I actually don't think it would be that hard to get the 100 point medal. I noticed that nijsse has the #1 spot.

It makes sense, seeing as how he has the most medals. I think this is the first time I've noticed him there, or her. You just press one button and keep it on. I don't see a health bar or anything. It could be more clear.
