Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Air Hockey]

I think the main flaw with this game was that it didn't have a lot of detail put into it. Everything just looked too simple. I still have to give you credit for having some pretty hard gameplay. I was in no way able to keep up with how fast the computer was. I only scored twice, and the first time I didn't even know how I did it! The sounds are fairly decent.

I guess I just prefer to play air hockey in real life. It does have most of what you would want in a game like this. There was a time where the computer and I were at the same level and we just push it backwards and forwards without moving. I would think the computer would change. That buzzing sound can be annoying.

[Trapshoot]

Man, I am no good at this game! I was probably going to eventually go insane, but I did manage to hit at least one can. I was pretty impressed at how hard it turned out to be. It may not have a lot of detail, but it gives you your money's worth. The graphics are decent, especially with the designs of the golfers in the beginning. I don't understand that "man" sound I keep hearing.

I guess cans aren't a good thing to try to hit. I'm glad there are a nice variety. You could just put more detail in the background and stuff. I have never done something like this in real life or even seen a real shooting range like this. It's fine for what it is.

[A Bit of Fun]

You deserve credit for making something creative. It's too bad it was so frustrating. It's particularly annoying when the bits themselves are so hard to get. I was hoping more for being able to collect them after you died. I do have to give you some more credit for having some good music. It's funny to see the character's eyes turn into hearts.

I don't know what these little suns are doing everywhere. All I know is that they are unkillable. It gets to a point where you have to double jump for everything to get around. I'm glad not using that isn't a medal. The setup is very nice too.

[iSkate]

I guess this was fine enough for its day, but this game doesn't hold up well. It reminded me of the Centipede game. I could tell the title was meant to be a reference to the iPads. That makes me miss Steve Jobs. The graphics actually do seem to hold up well. It's just that you don't have a lot of anticipation.

This game probably wasn't meant to be like that anyway. It does seem like something that would work out for your company. A pity it doesn't snow in Florida. I have seen a lot of submissions that were made for classes, but not something like this. The music is fine too.

[Galactic Tennis]

I was quite impressed at how fast paced this game was. The computer is really hard in this one. I try over and over to try every complicated trick and it doesn't work. It's really a matter of how long you can last. While there wasn't that much detail, it actually does have good graphics. I was wondering why it was called tennis. It's because "Ping Pong" is actually a name for the manufacturer of a sport whose real name is table tennis.

I wish I could see who the audience members were. It's probably not meant to make sense. There could probably be some music. I liked it how your ability to show the green bar gave you more space. I probably couldn't tell with that design anyway.

[Neonider 3]

It was weird, because I had no idea how this thing was even played. I basically just had to collect the money and do the same thing over and over. I admit that I got a medal, so it wasn't that bad. I think you deserve credit for being creative. The designs of the obstacles weren't that bad. I could have sworn that you could always get into another level after you died. If that is the case, then good for you.

The sounds weren't bad. They did get a tad irritating after awhile, if only because they keep going on while I'm typing this. It's interesting to see what kind of obstacles will show up next. I recommend this, but it does need to have better design. It's just decent for what it is.

[Sparkman: Stop World]

I was thinking it would be nice to take a break from games that have medals. I only played this because it had gamezhero as the sponsor. That seemed to work out okay, because I ended up getting the medal I needed. I was a bit confused on what you meant by "stars" when you were collecting discs. It turns out those were indeed stars. I really liked the atmosphere.

Of course, it reminded me of the Tron movie. I did not see the original, but I did see the sequel, which was okay. It's interesting how there are no enemies in this. All of your problems are created with your own environment. It's a fairly unique game.

[Caesar's Day Off]

Wow, I managed to get the secret medal on my first try! Yeah, you basically just have to experiment here. I was interested as to how this game was so different than many others I have played. At first, I thought it would be one where you had to press up and down at the right time, like a rythum game. It ended up working better if you had done that. The music was nice too.

I'm pretty sure the gladitorial games were around Ceaser's time. The graphics or drawings were really good in this. I should have been able to tell that this was made in 48 hours. Then again, it's so fun you really don't care. Yeah, I gave thumbs up to the nuke fridge scene.

[From The Black]

This game just drove me nuts! It wasn't so much that it was hard, it's that I couldn't tell when I was winning a medal! Okay, not to make this personal, but I stayed to play this game while my mom was putting Christmas stuff away and she went insane because I wasn't helping! I have to give you credit for making an addictive game. I managed to get far as beating the first part of story mode.

I KNEW I got a medal for surviving in Chaos Mode for over a minute and then nothing happened. I guess it'll show up eventually. I liked the different designs for all the enemies. It's amazing how this just goes on forever. You are certainly creative.

[Game Corp]

Well, we had spent so much time playing games, so it only figures that there would be a game actually about making video games. Seriously, I think this may be the first of its kind. I don't recall even a regular video game being like this. I'm surprised you called that tutorial short. It makes sense, as there were certainly a ton of things that you had to take care of. The graphics were fairly decent.

I didn't do too well on my first project. I managed to make only negative three thousand dollars. It would have been better if I had simply done nothing. It was funny to see how fast the workers could move. It gave me a quick laugh.
