Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Burger Quest]

Boy, that was one weird game. I wish the controls weren't so close to each other. Still, it was an interesting experience. I couldn't tell who I had to kill or not. I knew the zombies were bad. It's a pity they kept coming back.

It did have NG burgers. Those are related to NG, I guess. It's amazing how high these scores are. I like how goofy the characters look. It's at least worth playing.

[THE NEWGROUNDS RUN LOOP]

Well, that was interesting. You just had to press some buttons and win all the medals. I didn't think of Longcat as a Newgrounds character. Well, he's so long he can be anywhere! My favorite was "There She Is!!". I wish you would have played the whole song.

This was still passable. By passable, you should know what I mean. This does celebrate Newgrounds. I haven't seen Jerry Jackson in awhile. Happy Pico Day, of course.

[PICO'S BRAWL ARENA]

Aww, dang it! Another game where you can't play against the computer. It's just annoying with games here that only let you do that. I don't have a friend who will play that with me. This is still a great looking game. It takes you awhile to understand how to select everything.

It seems like yet another game like "Super Smash Bros.". That isn't necessarily a bad thing. This was still interesting. It just needed more players. We'll never run out of things to do with Pico. This might be our biggest holiday yet!

TheBlueHatted responds:

Actually, right beside each text that says "P1" and "P2" (on the bottom corners), there is a CPU button you can click with the player arrows to switch to an AI!
prob should make it a bit clearer lol

[Pico-Cross Collab]

Uh...I'm just not good at this game. I didn't know how to get the patterns right. I was at least able to see some pictures. I don't even know how I did that! I liked how it showed your progress on the upper right. Artwork is always appreciated here.

I liked how you could get close-ups on the pictures. The music seemed to fit everything quite well too. I haven't reviewed this many things in one day in years! I just wanted to do something special for Pico Day! It's mostly been good.

[Bandits & Barbarians]

I liked this game, but I will admit it wasn't that appealing. I just didn't like having to wait for opponents. I am still good at this game! I've won the games I've played. It just isn't that satisfying. You can always find new stuff for Pico Day.

Well, not always the best stuff. This was still something I would recommend for people with more patience. I wish I could see what my opponent was doing. Maybe it was too easy once I got playing. I can't complain about that!

larrynachos responds:

I added a minigame while you wait for opponents (its just flappy bird lmao but im thinking of adding multiple minigames to choose from), also there was a bug I fixed that was causing major matchmaking issues!

The matches not being satisfying might be a matter of poor level design. The first levels are my own, and I'm not super familiar with the intricacies of a good level, I just kinda slap stuff together. I'd like to see what you think a good level might be, maybe take a stab at the level editor?

Thanks for the feedback!

[Newgrounds Intern DEMO]

This was an interesting game, but it did get annoying. It was too easy for me to die. You didn't seem to have good camera angles with this. It's still quite fun. I can appreciate games with a different perspective. I especially like this big world.

It's always fun to collect money! I don't know why it would just be randomly out here in the middle of nowhere. I did wish more work environments were like that. The music's fine. It just isn't that interesting to me.

[Pico Party]

This had a lot of mobility, but I just couldn't get into it. The main problem was that I couldn't find a way to get PPP. It was still an interesting premise. You rarely see normal stuff like this. I just wish I could leave the room! Well, I still wish you a Happy Pico Day.

Easy medals are awesome! At least I tried to get far. Everything does seem three-dimensional. It just doesn't work well for me. I'm getting used to this wallpaper. It looks like there's a dick near the Tankman.

[Pee Man vs the Monkeys]

I guess I can see why this doesn't have as high a rating as some other games submitted for Pico Day. It actually did get pretty annoying. I wish I could move. I know it was supposed to be like "Space Invaders". It was just too long for a game like that. It was still playable.

RIP Ben Spurgin. I didn't know he was famous enough for a submission to be celebrated for Pico Day. This is still a good tribute. It just isn't the best out there. At least the monkeys aren't peeing on me.

[The 1000]

Damn, it was hard to keep track of how I was attacking! I just ran up to things. It was still a very unique game. I'm glad I figured out how to use the slots. Thanks again for including showing how the game is played. I assume with upgrades everything works better.

I could figure out how to kill an enemy on my own. Oh, that defenders game IS still on the front page! I should have known! I love how simplistic the characters look. Happy Pico Day yet again!

[NG STARS]

Thank you for the one easy medal. It looks like we finally got rid of that defense game on the front page. I love this and appreciate all the characters. I thought it would be focused more on fictional characters than actual users. The work was amazing. I wish I knew how to get into a tournament.

It's still great to play no matter what the style. I just have to learn the unique moves of every character to know who is the best one. I could literally experiment with that for hours! You have some nice suitable music too. It's by far the best game for Pico Day 2022. May Tom Fulp live on forever too!
