Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

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.

IriySoft responds:

Thanks %)

[Snazzle]

I was quite impressed by how this turned out. I really didn't know what to expect at all, but it turned out to be really cool. I had a little trouble at first, but it really is a lot of fun! It just goes to show that you don't have to be too elaborate or anything with this. It's quite inspiring how it's the kind of game anyone can make. I also like how the variety was good.

It wasn't a frustating game at all too. Some games make the mistake of being too complicated after just a few levels. I guess I'm just better at these kinds of games. Even the name is cool. It doesn't mean much, but still cool.

[Halloween Solitaire]

I admit that I was not much into this, because I was unable to understand it. On "Candy Corn Challenge", it just said that I click on a corn two spots away from another corn. That didn't work. I guess I have to at least praise this for having some fairly good graphics. I mean, they're not much, but they work for what they are. It has a nice Halloween theme.

I've always loved candied corn. I guess the reason I'm so bad at it is because I was never good at actual Solitaire. At least this one doesn't have the explosions everywhere. I tried clicking on everything and nothing works. It's very specific.

[Little Witch's Mess]

I have to say that I was actually quite impressed by this. I think the best thing about it is probably how everything is presented in such a clear manner. Granted, I was only able to beat the game on Easy Mode. It was still fun to see all the little things that were lying around. I expect it would get more fun for me on the harder levels because it will be more of a challenge. Easy Mode was, well, pretty easy.

I also liked how some of the stuff re-emerged. You mostly had to look for dark stuff in dark places. There didn't seem to be that much about witches. It was mostly just ordinary stuff. I, of course, had no problem with that.

[Gemolition]

Woah, this is one of the hardest games I've played in a long time. It's different than most other games like this, in that you are so limited in what you have. You are only even able to move one piece. For anyone who can get any medal in this, I have my respect for you. While there isn't much in terms of graphics, it was still well animated. Not much for sound effects, but that wasn't really the point.

I think the game has a cool game at least. It's just so easy to fail miserably. It probably requires a lot of practice if you want to truly get ahead in this game. It's just not something I really care for, becuase of how hard it is. I do have to give you credit for having a good setup.
