Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tequila Zombies]

I thought this was a really cool game. While not as good as some of your other works, still nice to look at. I thought it was pretty cool how your special attack by breathing tequila fire on the zombies. I probably should have realized that from the title. It was especially when when you managed to get a gun. I thought it was also really cool how you showed how close you were to beating the game.

I assume it's just that same level over and over. It's interesting how you keep playing yourself over and over to get the upgrades. The music's pretty cool too. Killing zombies is something that will never stop being awesome. The zombies were nicely detailed themselves too.

[Lab Lights]

Wow, I really enjoyed this game, even though I'm very bad at it. I wasn't even able to get past the second level! What I did like about this game was that it really did have some unique gameplay that I was proud of. The graphics were simple enough. It's funny, because it quickly gets hard. There's just a huge number of ways you can hook these things together, but you have limited wire.

It might not that have been that well detailed, but I appreciated the unique layout. I guess people with more patience should enjoy this more. I like the music too. It's fairly calm, silly music and it fits the game well. I also like how there's so much going on.

Zanzlanz responds:

Thanks Ericho!
I appreciate your optimism in something you didn't get to play much xD
In level 2, I tried putting batteries in places that were very close to a winning place, so if you try again, you might just get it ;)
Well if you ever come back to play again, I wish you luck :D

[Age of the Ants]

Wow, this was one of the weirdest games I've ever played. I can't even say if it was that good or bad, just very strange. It was pretty funny how, in the opening scene, you just kept hitting space to make Michael Jordan and the ant move. I don't know what he or Jack Black have to do with ants. I mean, I at least have to give this some credit for being creative. You really had no idea what was going to happen next.

The graphics weren't that good, but I kind of doubt they were even intended to be that good. You can at least count on the environments being unique. It makes no sense at all, but it's still somewhat playable. I guess you made something at least. I wish there was music, though.

[African Safari]

Well, I can't really say this game was bad or anything. It seemed to deliver most of what you'd expect from something like this. I was kind of hoping that the actual game would be about capturing pictures of wild animals. This still works pretty well too. I'm surprised how I wasn't able to figure it out at first with what animal was being targeted. It sure got annoying when it always switched.

Of course, that's what makes a game like this challenging! I also really like the music. It may not be that detailed, but it has pretty clearcut gameplay. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to get used to the scope. It's a fine game.

[Tux Cat]

I personally did not care for this. What I didn't like about it was how the graphics weren't good. The medals don't even seem to be working either. At least it got a little fun when I managed to go out and kill some zombies. I just don't even understand why a cat was chosen of all things. This doesn't seem to take place in a world where cats live anyway.

I guess it's fairly unrelated to itself anyway. I wish the zombies weren't that hard to kill. I will say it was kind of neat to do a story on current events. You just need to improve on lines and stuff a lot. The cat isn't even that cute!

Emby responds:

Medals work, there are no pop ups.

The zombie is easy when you know his attack pattern.

Sorry you didn't appreciate it. However... real review = justification.

[King Dugan's Dungeon ep.1]

I thought the layout of this game was pretty cool, but there was one main problem. I was not able to move diagonally and I couldn't get even advance even the slighest bit! I mean, I looked through the instructions and I simply couldn't find anything to help me. It seems like I'm not the only person having troubles with the controls. I do like the controls that I can understand. It's really cool to use the sword.

I think you just have to keep on hitting the "Q" and "W" to go in the same direction. It seems to change too much. Hopefully, people who were able to understand it will enjoy it a lot more. The name was also pretty weird. I guess there have been worse things in games here.

[World of Mutants 2]

Sheesh louise, was this game hard! I must not have been pressing the right buttons, because it was just basically one shot after shot that was destroying these guys! I had no idea how I was even supposed to advance in this. I didn't seem to get any stronger. Sure, it got better when I got some assistants, but they died pretty easily. I was so weak, it took me like five minutes to beat the first boss!

At least I managed to accomplish something out of all this. The sounds were at least decent. There probably could have been some more variety in the enemies, but it was still pretty cool. I wish I could rapidly fire that dang gun more. I must have been doing something wrong.

[SoloMultiplayerRobotGame]

I really did not care that much for this. I think its main fault was that the controls did not work out too well. They were easy to understand, although it did get a tad obnoxious when you had to get used to all sorts of new stuff. What I didn't like is that it seems you have so little control over your characters. They just seem to run too much. The graphics are also not that good.

I still think this was cool because it was a fairly original idea. I liked the music too. I wish I knew how to recommend stuff for a collection, because this should go in Robot Day 2012. It may not be popular, but it has medals! For guys like me, that's all that matters really.

Frixolydian responds:

Thanks a lot, man :). If I make a new game or a sequel, I'll be sure to follow your recomendations.

[Boy Band Tycoon]

This was a rather weird game, because I didn't even really understand how to play it. I mostly just kept pressing stuff and I got ahead, so I guess I didn't really care. The best part was probably how it was at least easy to move along. In fact, it might have even been a bit too easy. That's hard to say, because mostly these kinds of games come off as too hard to me. I think you also need some more details with the graphics.

At least the music's pretty good. The clearcut manner in which everything is pretty cool too. I appreciate all the stuff going on, even if it isn't that well detailed. I'm not that big a fan of simulation games, but for people who are, they should enjoy this. It is fairly unique.

GimmeSumJava responds:

Thanks, I like how long your review was!

[Aevarrian Coliseum 2]

This was truly a cool game! I think the best part about it is probably how well you can move around. I thought that I skipped the original cutscene, but it turned out to be even longer than I thought. It's not often you see much of a story in a fighting game. Come to think of it, you really don't see a lot of fighting games on this website. The graphics were nice and slick too.

My only complaint is that the controls are a bit hard to understand. The music is also pretty cool. I loved how everything moved so fluidly in this. It's just a game that seemed to really want to set out and be unique. I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

josh-tamugaia responds:

I was surprised too. But not anymore. Anyways, thanks a lot.
