Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tower of Kanthor]

I think this is a good game. My main problem with it is that it does just seem to go on forever. It's still nice to see all these interesting things going on with the enemies and stuff. My least favorite part was probably how hard it was to use the magic shots. It seemed like so much for one shot. Maybe you could have made it so that the shots automatically hit their target?

Then again, I haven't used the other upgrades. The sounds are decent too. It was cool how I couldn't understand what was going on with this. I was damaged by the enemy once and then I just had to keep on going. When I died from that, I went to another level, what?

I thought it was kind of interesting to have a unique game like this, but for the most part, I didn't really care for it. It's mostly because there isn't much in terms of graphics and stuff. It really seemed to lose ground when the second level appeared. Not only did you have to type in all of those letters over and over, but you had to keep on doing it or you would lose points. The medal for starting the game didn't show up when I got up. There should just be more detail.

I know there's nothing wrong with being simple, but it didn't work here. There could have been more sounds and the like. It's nice how everything is clear cut, but it doesn't do much for me. I think you might just be better off with simpler games. It's got a funny name, though.

[Abbabeb - The Game]

I have played many a Clock game, but this one didn't make much sense to me. I think it might have even worked better if it was just a flash cartoon. I used to play the piano all the time. I guess this makes me kind of sad because I have no clue how to get in on it. I thought it was funny how you had "Abba" in the name. That reminds me, I like "Dancing Queen".

It makes you realize that this song has the same lyrics as "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "ABC". It's as incomprehensible as Clock Day itself. How can I recommend this for the Clock Day 2012 submissions? They don't seem to have that feature anymore. At least the music's nice.

You were getting there. ;)

[Jumping Jim]

I actually thought this was a good game, even I didn't really understand it. It was kind of weird to see a superhero who just jumped instead of flew. Then again, the original version of Superman did that. Did you know that, BTW? Anyway, it was rather cool to see how nutty this guy looked as he just jumped everywhere. I could have sworn that you could double jump, but it was just looked like he could.

The hardest one is the level where there are those pink things and a platform. You don't know which one to use first or if you can even make either one at the right time. I had no idea so many people took part in this! It's not that part of a game, so it's neat how everyone had a different role. It's nice for a quick play.

[StuMan Pt3]

I haven't played the other StuMan games, but I actually found this to be fine. What I didn't understand was that I thought it was just going to be a game where you only had one level. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn't. Then again, the second level is murder for me. I go to the top, but it doesn't let me advance. I'm guessing you have to go on the blocks in some particular reason.

It's also weird how you named your game. The title made me think it was going to be a parody of Gary Stu/Marty Stu fics. Anyway, I have to give you points for having some really cool colors. It is a unique experience at least. I wish I could understand it more.

[Chisel 2]

I really enjoyed this game! I think the thing I liked the most about it was probably how simple it was to beat, hee hee. I thought that maybe you had to specifically kill all the enemies, but you could in fact just leave them alone. It's still satisfying to get to finish them off, though. The graphics, you guys know what I think of your graphics. I even liked the way you showed your logo in the beginning.

It's great to have all this really cool music, too. I like how you don't have a lot of idea of when you're going to be done with a certain area. Yes, it tells you the percentage, but you always seem to find new terroritory. I like how the main character is this cute little guy. It's just an enjoyable game.

[Clock Day Fun!]

While I didn't enjoy this that much, it's still nice to play a Clock Day submission. I just wish there could have been more to this. I hope I'm not giving away the secret medal, so I guess I just won't tell how I got my one medal. This seems to have most of what you could want in a Clock Day submission. It's not just "B" that gets the treatment here. It's all the letters of the alphabet.

The colors are actually pretty nicely done. I think the music was also very nice and quite calming. It's too bad there weren't that many Clock Day submissions this year. At least people like you will always be around. You have serviced your Clocks well.

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review! It's always greatly appreciated.

[Zombies in Central Park]

Well, I can't say I didn't like this, because I did. It reminds me a lot of those books I used to have where you had to find stuff, the "I Spy" books. Now that I think about it, that was basically the premise of the "Where's Waldo?" books too. I appreciate how you were able to use such a good childhood memory like this. My only complaint is that I just think it's too big and hard. Don't think of something dirty when I say that.

It was nice to see all these cool designs. You certainly get your money's worth with the single medal. I thought the music was also pretty nice and suited it very well. It does get you motivated after awhile. It might have worked better as an art submission.
