Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rampster!]

Damn, this was a pretty hard game! I didn't think the gameplay was even that good. It just wasn't that well detailed. It's still okay for a puzzle game. I'm just not even into those. Thank you for including those hints.

Why would a hamster be a lab rat? Well, if I can't figure it out, how could a lab rat? I guess it was pretty unique. It probably needed some music. I just wouldn't recommend it.

[SHOGUN TRIAD DEATHNINJA]

That game was great. The cheesiness was fantastic. That's what ninjas are known for. The music was so good, especially in the first level. I'm eager to see how every medal is achieved. Some of them were not so secret.

Jimmy Fallon's Christmas Spectacular is a long tag. This had such a nice style of animation. Happy....belated Pico Day? Whatever, this was great. I would love to see a sequel. I'm glad I got through it all.

[Gridlock]

Wow, I have to admit I'm horrible at this game. I really had no idea with Level 3. It just got too slow for me. I just wanted something that had more action. I'm still a good driver, thank you! The music was fine, I guess.

I'm glad to be familiar with Ruffle. This was quite informative. It just didn't help me at the game. I could never be interested enough to put this much effort. Well, people more skilled at puzzle games could like it.

[Exhibit of Sorrows]

I had no idea this would be so great. It certainly deserved its reputation as Underdog Of The Week. I wish we had a record of every cartoon that won those awards. Anyway, I thought it was interesting how it was just normal clowns at first. I knew the game was too easy. I really should have expected it to get dark.

For all its darkness, it did have a surprisingly happy ending. I'm glad there were different things you could do with the same exhibits. Yeah, there's no good clowns anymore. Well, some weren't necessarily evil, just being tortured. They were certainly sad. Well, there was at least one clown I certainly didn't upset.

[Sleef]

Well, I got through every level. I will admit it was probably too easy. I can still make my own levels! Sleef is leef without the S. I had no idea I was supposed to jump on those things. I thought they were weapons.

That really was a unique idea! You deserve credit for that! All the medals were easy. Too easy. Is that a cliche?

[Bird On Bird]

It always helps that chickens are so darn funny. My favorite part was easily how you could fly ever so slightly with chickens. They're not that good at flying. I wasn't expecting spiked chickens. I knew they were bad news. The graphics were quite good.

It works so freaking well as a goofy little game. I loved those visuals of the chickens stacked up on each other. I didn't realize you got another gold feather by bringing extra chickens. The music was quaint too. Well, it can get kind of dark with the chicken deaths.

[Portal Defenders: Tower Defense]

Well, this is easily the best submission for Flash Forward 2022. I will admit that I was annoyed at how freaking hard it was! The little bugs that appeared on Level 3 were the worst. I had to experiment with every strategy I could figure out! It's still a wonderful game. That may be just because I really wanted to win.

It was great seeing all these characters together. Even after beating the boss, his bugs still killed me! It was so hard to even get any upgrades! There's just so many combos to make, but few that will make you beat the level. The graphics and design are obviously fantastic. It was especially hard not knowing which path they would show up for next!

[VOLTARMS]

I'm glad I managed to get a lot of medals pretty fast! It got pretty hard by Level 3. It just got hard to get used to the controls. Thank you for telling me how to play the game properly. I thought you could only attack one at a time before the enemy reacted. It was still quite difficult.

I loved seeing these sprite graphics. It did get a little repetitive. I guess I'm getting used to RPGs. Well, the "Epic Battle Fantasy" series really got me into them. Once again, happy 420 even though this was unrelated.

MidNightMaren responds:

I'm glad you liked it after I told you the mechanics. I guess I'll have to explain it better in the tutorial segment since it seems you are not the first one.
It was supposed to get much harder by Level 3, since the player should be much more familiar with every control by that point in the game.

[Sausage Game]

Wow, this was actually a lot of fun! Happy 420 I guess. A talking hot dog might be something I would see while I was high. Well, he didn't really talk. I was surprised at how far I got into this game. I'm normally not into point and click games, but this was great.

It's mostly because of how random the medals were. I had no idea how to use my items. I thought the corn would distract the crows, but it didn't work. This seems like a new way of getting medals. I loved the old timey feel to it.

[Salvager]

Okay, this was quite odd. Maybe I had to be high to understand it? I mean, I just assume everyone's high on 420. I just had no idea what to even do. I didn't die or anything. I guess I was good at it.

I'm impressed by the talented people working on it. It just didn't seem complete at all. Clicking and using space did the same thing. I didn't even know what to do with the crystals. I wish to see a more complete version of it.
