Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Simgirls (Full Version)]

Okay, dude, you have officially set a record for the longest time between a flash or game submission on this website! The last one you did was over NINE YEARS ago. I thought you had like, died or something. You do have the most viewed game and the most viewed flash submission on the entire website! That being said, this didn't disappoint. I just want to say right now that I'm not a fan of hentai.

I could at least appreciate this for the great artwork. I have no idea how I managed to miss this the first time it came on the Portal! It will probably be one of the most significant submissions ever! I also loved how the music was really good. I will say that the designs do look a tad old.

sim-man responds:

Yes in fact the game is 10.5-year old. I hope you will also enjoy Simgirls 2 that I am working on.

[Build Balance. Halloween]

It's so nice to be reviewing a Halloween game when it's actually Halloween! I was really intrigued as to how this was going to play out. It was about the same in terms of difficulty as most of these kinds of games. It didn't have that much to make it stand out, but it was still good. It was funny to see all those weird faces. It was especially nice when something managed to stay on long enough to beat the level.

That mostly works with the pumpkins. The music was also fairly nice and quite enjoyable. The sound effects are good too, even if there aren't many of them. This is sure to be a hit. Even the background is pretty nice. Oh, and Happy Halloween!

[Flippin' Dead]

I thought this was a really cool game. The main flaw was how it took a short time for me to understand how hard this game was! Then again, I guess it wouldn't have made much difference. I recognize your graphics. It's wrong to complain about how the medals are worth so much more than the acheivements. I thought the graphics were as good as ever.

It's kind of like "Pac-Man" with how the gameplay works. The title reminded me of Flippy from "Happy Tree Friends". I don't think that was a reference, but was funny to think about. The music was also cool, especially when you got into the other world. I love how the heads are square and move around funny.

[DONUT GET!]

Well, this was another weird game. The funny thing is that I was actually eating a giant cookie before I played this. I guess I liked this because it had such a fun spirit to it. I have no idea how you're supposed to get most of the medals. It was really cool when you got the medals that were down on the side of the screen like that. Doughnuts aren't really Halloween food.

Dang, was it fun just bouncing on those people over and over. Eating 363 doughnuts is good enough for me to get fired! I didn't even understand how I didn't get to the main level the first time. The sound effects were nice too. I liked the sound of the doughnuts being eaten.

[Ereban Dawn]

I actually liked this game, even though I couldn't understand it. It looked like this ghost was after me. It didn't kill me when I first came across it, but it did eventually. I had no idea where I was even going. You basically just keep going around in this game forever. It probably could have been a bit more detailed.

The music was great and really created a good atmosphere. With all the darkness, you knew it was going to be a Halloween game. I just wish I knew where it ended. There was no "Game Over" sign or anything, I just went to the menu after a skull was shown. Crazy, but playable.

[Tofu Ninja]

I was truly surprised at how hard this game turned out to be! The weirdest thing was how it had such a simplistic look to it. That's in no way intended to be an insult. The part that really got me was when those three platforms were moving so freaking fast! I just had to quite after I got one medal. Anyway, the best thing about this game was probably the graphics.

I also found the music to be rather soothing. For those of you who are really good at games like this, you should like it. It was strange how there wasn't a lot of detail. I guess a game as hard as this didn't need to have those things. It's okay for a quick run.

[Gornax]

You guys are known for making bigger games, so I was surprised this was made in 48 hours. It should be part of the NG Game Jam (whatever number that is). The best part was probably how it continued fighting after you died. Geez, I was always the first to go in these. There's just so many targets and so much power the enemy has. At least it was fun playing.

The graphics are done really well here. There isn't a lot of space to move around, but there isn't supposed to be. Fans of you guys like me should like this a lot. The music is nice and suiting. For someone with good patience, this game is for you!

[Bakos' Ruby Data Mining]

This is strange. This first appeared as something that you guys apparently took down and I could see why, but now it's back up. This is weird, because it's easily the worst thing you guys ever worked on. You aren't even the kind of people who work with sprite stuff. It was weird how there was no music or sound. There wasn't a lot of detail either.

It looks like you guys were just experimenting. It was just the same page over and over. I thought the blue things were supposed to help you at first. I couldn't help think this was a late April Fool's Day joke or something. Well, you tried, I guess.

Pikanjo responds:

This was my first attempt at HTML5/Canvas which I did for a class assignment a year ago. It is a tiny and repetitive game, but this was more to test out HTML5 submissions on NG for myself as well as Mike/Tom.

[Windows XP Errors 2]

I didn't care that much for this, because it wasn't well detailed. It reminds me of some other Windows parodies that were better. There was one from awhile ago that managed to actually have some pictures and songs. This just seems to be a bit of a waste. Of course, I have to say I enjoyed it because of the medals I got. It looks as though they are back to working.

It was fun to see those medals pop up over and over. I've probably gotten all of them in just one play. There could have been better graphics. You did seem to get everything right with how the text was represented. It doesn't take much, but it fits.

TheMadWasp responds:

Thanks Ericho, I can add more detail, but that would mean finding pictures of Windows XP Desktops, icons and other stuff.
I could make pictures and songs appear on my next error gallery, but I'm comfortable leaving it with this one.
Thanks for the review.

[Takeover]

As someone who is not a fan of RPG's, I wasn't that interested in playing this. I was very surprised to find out how fun this game was! It seems like you have made such a wide variety of games! It was great to see how well the graphics worked. There were all sort of interesting things going on, like the giants or the different kinds of houses. The music also kept you in high spirit.

It was amazing to look at all the cool little details. It was even nice to hear the cries from the people. This is one of the best RPGs I've ever played. I guess when you review as many things as I have, you tend to find something in every category that you like. It was great positioning and playing everything in this game! I hope this wins Daily Feature.

Thanks %)
