Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[8bitrocket Retro Blaster]

I don't even remember playing the original Asteroid game that much. That being said, this is a great game because it truly gives you justice on what you can control. I've always loved the notion of being able to move to another side of the screen when you go out of frame. Everything is really unique in this. I liked the different kinds of weapons and different kinds of enemies. At least you put a lot of nice detail into this game that didn't get that popular.

Of course, I'm the guy who praises underappreciated works. While not a masterpiece, still very good. The sounds and everything else sync up pretty well. The use of sprites and colors was nice. It seemed like you had a lot of room to move around with how you went from one screen to another.

[Seven Deadly Sins]

I couldn't help but think that Ed looked a lot like Jesus. I assume that was part of the joke. Anyway, this is actually a really good game. The weird thing is that while the graphics themselves were not that good, they were actually pretty well laid out. It's a bit hard to put into words, but everything just fit together pretty well. It shouldn't be that hard to sin.

I appreciate you having an interesting way of the characters moving. It's nice to see how far you can get with this. I already fired everyone at work, I must be getting far. While it's mostly a mundane setting, it's really a bizarre game. It's weird to want to do bad and end up doing good.

[The Magnetic Cat]

I wasn't that impressed by this game at first, but it really got a lot better as it went on! I think its best achievement was probably having such unique gameplay. I always appreciate it when people departure from the norm. I liked the overall cybernatic feel of this game. It was great for experimention, because you really had to learn how to do everything on your own. Each level is nice and different too.

It might also help that I freaking love cats so much. I guess all cats are cute, even cybernetic ones! I think it's also cute how this thing looks like a toaster. The music is also great with how it sets the mood. Another great game from gamezhero!

[Behemols Universe]

I didn't find this that enjoyable because it was just too hard! At first, I thought it was going to be a rhythum game, but it wasn't. I do admit that it was pretty cool for what I was able to get through. I don't think I've ever played a game where I had to dodge music notes like that. It didn't have that much detail, but it really didn't need it. I could have sworn I lived a few times when I should have died.

I guess I just got lucky those times. Of course, I wasn't lucky enough to avoid the other notes and obstacles all the time. It reminds me of when I used to play piano. Usually, I only mention that when I'm reviewing an audio submission. That made it unique, I suppose.

[Hoop60]

This game wasn't that well detailed, but I honestly didn't think it was that bad. Hey, this is from a guy who wasn't able to win a single medal on this. What I like is how it seems like most of the time you just automatically have the ball go in the hoop when it should. Basketball games should be like that. That being said, I still think this should have had a lot better graphics. At least it's not annoying.

You could have also put some music in it. The sounds that were there were actually pretty good. I guess it helps that I like shooting hoops in my spare time. It's becoming more of a habit lately. I'm glad I'm a guy who actually enjoyed this.

NoLanLabs responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it too. i'm kind of a casual bball player from time to time myself, so that's kind of what I was going for. Music would have been great, but I just ran out of time - this was for a contest that ends today. but thanks for the review! you're awesome.

[60 Seconds Dash]

I thought this was a decent game. What I didn't like about it was that it seemed a bit too simplistic. I was really glad that I did get a lot better at it as time went on. It doesn't have very complicated controls or anything, so that was nice. The graphics are decent. As it didn't have a lot of detail, it didn't have that much to be disappointed in.

I appreciated you coming up with a fairly unique game. I didn't even know how to play the game at first. The sound effects were pretty cool too. I'm kind of glad it was a timed game because it just seemed to go on a bit too much. It's still a decent game.

[Man Who Sold The World]

I found this to be a pretty good game. I think it's probably not that good to me because I didn't understand how to interact with other people. I was able to go to other places just easily, but when I met someone nothing happened. When I first interacted, I didn't have to press anything to go on. I tried "Enter" but it didn't work. I assume I have to talk to these people because at one point I just reach a dead end.

At least it was a fairly unique game. I liked how you played this literally colorful guy in this sort of bland world. It's nice to see how you hop and jump around so well. The music was pretty cool too. It's just overall quite a surreal game.

[41st Reality]

Another great game from Newgrounds! I think what I liked most was how you really did experiment with some different styles here. It's nice to see the different kinds of blocks and stuff that go your way. I think the ones shaped like crosses are actually the ones that go towards you. They certainly kept coming to me unlike the blocks which just blew apart. The automatic fire was great too.

The music is also really stylistic. It doesn't have that much detail, but it's actually well done for the details it has. It reminds me of something from the "Tron" movies. It's also cool how all the numbers and letters just kind of bounce around. I'm also glad you can move.

[4 Elements]

I was quite impressed by this. At first, I thought it was a game in the series of the ones where you create the elements of Earth, but it wasn't. It doesn't matter, because this turned out to be just as much fun. I especially love how you can click on various objects at the same time and have them all go down at once. It was also really cool how you could use the stuff you built to find more stuff. It's one of the better games where you look for stuff.

The graphics are nice and the sounds are cute. There really is a nice amount of detail put into everything. It does get a bit more complicated in the second part. It's still a game worth playing. I like how it has different kinds of gameplay to test you.
