Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Detective Grimoire - Demo]

I don't really know why, but this was I think your best game ever! I'm just going to assume that's Rina-chan doing the voice of teh little girl. I just freaking loved how awesome this turned out to be! It was just so nice to hear all these wonderful voices, all of which sound familiar. The animation was some of the best I've seen in a game ever! While I'm generally not a fan of point and click adventure games, this was a massive exception!

The music was also fantastic, with how it set such a wonderful creepy glow. It really makes you want to continue the game to find out more about the creature. Everything moves so wonderfully around here. Is it crude to say I'm reminded of John K.'s blog? I appreciate all the effort put into this masterpiece. We need more games like this.

[Elemental Balance]

I was really impressed by this game. I think the best part about it was probably how unique the gameplay was. It was really interesting to try to figure out where you were gonna go next with your bomb. It may not have been that well detailed, but still very well done. The omnious music was really cool too. It's nice to see how the explosions pan out.

This is probably the first game of its kind where you were not supposed to actually blow up the thing you were trying to hurt, just set it on fire. It's interesting when all of these elements come together in the end. Hey, that's where it gets its name of course! Bombs are always great to have in a game. It really escalated when there were more of them.

[Blackwood Prologue]

This was a very strange game. As someone who's made over 3,000 game reviews, this was still quite unique. It wasn't so much of a point and click adventure game as it was an adventure game. I had no idea what was real and what wasn't. I thought maybe the fact that I woke up meant I had gotten into the real world, but were the previous parts a dream too? It was just so bizarre.

With all that being said, I am still glad to say I really enjoyed this. I think its best feature is probably how good the graphics are. You also move really fluidly around everywhere. It can be kind of a pain to have a game where you don't know how to get most of the medals. Still enjoyable, though.

[BubbleFighting Tournament]

Dude, this was one of the zaniest games I've played in a long time! I appreciate you really going out of your way to have such crazy stuff going on. It was weird, because I got like most of the opponent's balloons destroyed, but I still lost! I really liked how cool the music was. There was so much stuff going on. I wish I could understand it.

The weirdest thing was probably how you were in this strange place. It looks like there was a nice amount of detail put in the backgrounds and everything. I didn't even know what I was throwing against my opponent half the time. You really have to keep up with this game. I hope people like it!

[Niwit Slide]

Everything seemed to really work out well for this game. My only complaint is that when you switched characters, it just didn't seem to make sense when you couldn't use your main ability while clicking the space button. I still have to appreciate this for being inventive. It really is a fairly unique game. Snowboarding is a really cool sport. It makes me wish I didn't live in Florida.

It's also fun to listen to the wide variety of music you have. I'm surprised a game that isn't all that complicated turned out to have so many good songs. It's always nice when you can tell a lot of effort was put into making a game. At least you gave us some nice tips in the author comments. It is weird to have a winter game in July.

OONi responds:

Thanks! We live in South America so it's winter here. Does that count?

[Rolling Football 2]

I was actually quite impressed with this. It really struck me as impresive with how it was so complicated. You would think a game about just placing stuff in the right place to win in a soccer game would be easy, but it was anything but! The music was also really cool, too. I appreciate the smooth graphics. I don't even know if I'm playing half the levels right or winning by accident.

It's probably the first time I've played a game where you had to put more than one soccer ball in the goal. I appreciate all the fancy colors. It seems like a lot of people had fun with this game. I like its high spirit, even if it's not that rewarding. It's just a good game.

[Agent Cool]

I personally did not find this very appealing. The graphics weren't that bad, but the gameplay leaves much to be desired. I think the worst part is how it's just one enemy that you have to fire at over and over. It would be a lot more fun if it was actual aliens coming after you out of the ship. For attacking ships, you would think you'd just use a ship itself. The music was alright too.

The name of the main character (I think that's her name) was kind of lame too. I guess it was just meant to be silly. I was hoping that the barrels of toxic waste could hurt the enemies, but they didn't. True, they did give you health, but I was looking for more. This is okay of its kind.

[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.
