Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ant Move]

I actually thought this was a fairly well done game. I will say that its main weak point was that the graphics were not that good. It got a tad redundant too. It was still an interesting premise and one I don't see much of. Then again, I've just played so many games, I've lost count of them. I think the music was pretty nice.

The termites are the worst ones, as they come so easily on to attack. I actually waited to see how the other insects attacked the eggs. Those eggs actually look kind of cute. There just should have been more detail. The gameplay was still pretty easy going. It's a weird title, too.

[animotion v.1.4]

I think this is a really cool game because it gives you a lot of freedom. Granted, it would help if the poses stayed the same way when you made the next scene. It seems like that would be something obvious. It's really cool to see all the cool stuff you've worked on over the years and this was only 2003! It would be great to have an updated version of this. You could let people make their own flash cartoons.

I have no idea how to make those on my own. Apparently, I need to buy some program, but I don't know how to. I must be crazy to still not be tired of the Peanut Butter Jelly song. Of course, that might just be because I haven't heard it in a long time. You could also put more control on which body parts to use.

[Animal Sudoku]

You know, I couldn't get into it because it wasn't a kind game to you. It just seemed too standard and the stuff that was different wasn't enjoyable. I at least appreciate you trying to do something different. It's funny, because a 5/10 is probably what I would have given the actual "Evan Almighty" movie. Sequels to Jim Carrey movies are rarely good. It is nice to have that music.

There must have been a glitch or something because it told me to skip past something and there was nothing there. I'm guessing there was supposed to be a movie clip there? At least there's still people who remember this game. It just seemed too complicated. I was hoping it would be better than the movie.

[Fruit Defense]

I liked this game a lot, probably because of all the stuff you could do with it. I admit that some of the effects looked kind of cheesy, but still a nice game. My favorite weapon was probably the nail gun. I also liked how you could speed up the game. It looked so funny and it seemed like even you were being sped up. I appreciate the really funny sounds. Hey, if I had a garden, I'd kill those things too.

My only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to tell how you got new weapons. There didn't seem to be enough room for them. I think it's just funny how everything is drawn. It is pretty original for a game. You can make a defense game out of anything!

[Seasonal Maze]

I just found this game to be too confusing. It doesn't help that there's no sound. It is pretty cool to see what's going to come up next because you literally have no idea. I can't tell if the acorn picture is a part of the actual maze. I mean, I advance to the next level when I don't touch it. Anyway, this game was just a bit too bland.

It's weird to see all this stuff going on and not being able to understand it. It's just too basic to recommend. I think the idea is good, it's just not done in the best way. You could probably add in some shadings and sounds. I do think the timer is kind of nice.

This game was made more of an experiment. I'm dabbling with making games that change depending on the date, and this is my first real dive into the idea. Ultimately I would like to create some kind of hour-sized dungeon crawler with level design that changes every day, especially if I could have players go in and interact with each other. Anyway, yeah, what I have right now is extremely simple.

The acorn you're talking about is an autumn leaf, which means that you're playing in the fall. In the winter, spring, and summer, there are different effects on the gameplay. Perhaps I'll find a way to add more gimmicks in the future based on different mechanics.

As for the whole limited visibility maze thing, I'm actually going to be using this as an interlude between random battles in an RPG that I'm working on, so if you like the idea, you'll probably like my new game. Both this game and the one coming out are also PSP compatible, if you're wondering why there's no sound (I'm trying to create low memory games).

[Space Heroes 5]

I guess I have to at least give you some credit on it being addictive. What I didn't like about this game was that it was so hard to get one freaking medal! I was so bad at this, I actually thought that the game itself ended after that one level. I was amazed at how it kept going on! Well, this is one of the hardest games I've ever played. I did manage to do better with every player.

I also didn't think the graphics were that good. There could have been more detail, although the enemies were at least unique. You had no idea what was going to happen next. The music was alright. No wonder each medal is 100 points.

SunriseKingdom responds:

Here are some tips.

The easiest character to play as is Rick. He has the most hp

The upgrades that I think works best for him are.

Level 1 - Upgrade 05 - Rock Gear
Level 2 - Upgrade 11 - Blue Energy
Level 3 - Upgrade 13 - Red Power

This should be the easiest way to win the game, good luck and have fun.

[TSHMUP]

I was surprised at how unique this game turned out to be. I knew that it would be too easy to get points when the things came off the screen. You don't die by failing to fill the blocks for something, you just lose points for it. That being said, I thought that was actually a pretty interesting way to do it. I liked the sounds too. I didn't even notice you could change colors until I randomly pressed down.

The graphics aren't much, but a game like this doesn't need a lot of graphics. It's a nice service to have a game with such interesting gameplay. The hardest part of this is easily when the shape formations start moving. I swear the blocks you shoot out change then. They seem to change share colors!

[SIMPLE BlackJack 21]

I admit that I'm just not that big a fan of card games like this. It mostly helps that I've never learned how to play. Gee, I'm 23 years old and I still don't know how to play that game! What I also didn't like was how you had to get so many wins (and even losses) to get a single medal. I'm sorry, but those are the kinds of things that attracts me to a game like this in the first place. The graphics aren't that good either.

I guess people who are bigger fans of Blackjack should enjoy this. It seems to have most of what you would want in a game like this. I can tell you're a much bigger fan of this than I am. I don't understand what happens when you "Submit Score" as it doesn't seem to work. It's probably all the better.

[Loachie]

I think it's really cool how you celebrated someone's birthday like this. Now, Lochie can come back here anytime he wants and check this out! What I didn't like was that it's not that enjoyable for being so difficult. I do have to give you guys credits on coming up with an original idea. The music is really cool too. I died immediately after getting my last life.

Then again, I manage to get a letter even while I was dead! You guys might want to make somehting like this for May 23rd, if you catch my drift. I love how colorful it is. The graphics are just very nicely done. Congrats on making such a fun and crazy game!

[Cant Stop: Hill Challenge]

I was actually surprised at how fun this game turned out to be. What I didn't like was how the graphics weren't that good. Still, it's fairly interesting to be in this strange world where you can't control yourself. It's been too long since I've played a time like this, so it's a rare experience. It was weird how I didn't die at first when I was killed by the spikes. It was nice to have checkpoints, too.

It's interesting to have such a fast paced game. You really have to go up and look up to see what's coming next. It may not be the most creative of games, but it's fairly unique. The designs could have been better. It was pretty decent for a quick game.

thank you :)
