Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Neonider2 : Slot and Nuke]

You actually have medals for getting a multiplayer score higher than 149?! I played this game for like five minutes and all I could get was 6! There must be some defense mechanism that's used to destroy enemies that I'm not aware of. Keep in mind the yellow ships cause you a lot more damage than the blue dots do. There wasn't much in terms of graphics, but I guess that didn't really matter.

The music was fairly good. The designs were pretty interesting, even if they didn't seem to match up well with the tone. I guess I would have to understand this game a lot more if I wanted to get better at it. For the most part, it's an average game. It's a bit too slow moving for me.

[Wheel vs Flowers]

I thought this was fairly entertaining. I guess it only got unejoyable when it got to the part where I couldn't really advance. My level was Level 5. It was just unbeatable. I wished this could have had finer detail. I do appreciate that it seems like it was made with the notion of just making a nice game anyone could enjoy.

You're probably going to have to include a walkthrough at some point. I just wish there could have been more detail. I don't like it how it's just a bunch of stuff standing out there that needs to be trampled on. It's still fun to see what's going to come up next in this game. It's fairly creative, so I'll give you credit for that.

[Sands of the Coliseum]

I thought this was the best game I had played all day! Granted, I haven't played that many good games lately, but it's something! I really like how you see the way the body is represented. What I didn't understand was that it didn't seem to tell me how close I was to beating someone. The opponent had more HP than me and I still won. Oh well, at least I get to kill her! You have an interesting level of details put into the character designs too.

The graphics are fairly detailed too. I thought this reminded me of this game that took place in Ancient Rome from AdultSwim. I wasn't expecting BerzerkStudio to be behind this. I guess you can join the ranks of people like gamezhero and Nitrome for making game after game that gets on the front page! Poor freeworldgroup.

[Hobo Dress Up]

I did not care for this game, because the graphics were not that good. I have no clue how to get the secret medal, but I can at least give you guys some advice. Just putting on random clothes and playing the game is NOT going to give you the medal. I think it's okay to say in a review that not to do to get a secret medal, right? I also felt there could have been more music. It just seemed to stop short.

I tried putting on all of the clothes at one time and nothing happened. I thought maybe that was some secret. I guess I'm just so more used to playing dressup games that have hot naked women in them that I did not like this. Try to put in a lot more detail with some shading. I just didn't find it fun.

[MotherTrucker]

Well, I managed to get every medal except Beaten The Boss on my first try. The final battle with the boss is strange and I don't understand it. You fire your blasts at the boss, but he just disappears. I look all around the level to see where he is, but I just stopped looking until I died somehow. It's silly for me to care so much about medals. Yet, I can't help but want to get them.

The guy looks weird with his long hair, he looks like Kirbopher or Weird Al Yankovic. The graphics are fairly nicely done, I guess. Crazy games get submitted all the time and this certainly qualifies. I guess this should entertain you for a bit. Congradulations on making a game with medals, I guess.

[Motley Town]

Well, I should have realized this was going to be a lot harder than I thought. Imagine how easy it would have been if you could just pick the animals off in any order you wanted. Oh well, at least everything's presented in a fairly clear cut manner. I guess I would have liked it more if the animals would have disappeared when you found one. Of course, with just one image, it can't be easy. It's a bit too cartoonish to take that seriously.

I guess that was just an attempt to make it appealing to more people. Don't be fooled by its looks, it's still very hard. I was looking for the eagle and I was looking for white feathers. I couldn't find them and the hint showed me the eagle was brown! You really can't trust your common senses here. Good for someone who's better at this.

[Knightfall]

This wasn't as good as the latter installments in this series, but still nicely done. It's always nice to go back and play a game you've done before. What is frustrating is finding out you're still no good at it! Of course, I didn't play it correctly at first. It really seems like you created a unique game. Not only did it have different gameplay, but it had a lot of unexpected obstacles.

You'd think a guy with a drill would be able to easily kill green blobs. The music is also fairly nicely done and it gives you a good feeling of being in a mysterious place. It is a puzzle game after all. You can always flip to see if something doesn't work out for you. It can still take awhile.

[Double Edged]

I thought this game was pretty enjoyable. As usual, you guys have nice graphics. I really should just stop saying that in my reviews, because it's something that goes without saying. What I didn't like about this was that I didn't understand how to pick up a new sword. There were these times where it looked like it was instructing me to pick up a sword, only to not tell me how to tell it. At least the enemies were pretty well designed.

It's always nice to have a pause button in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if this entire thing was just one long level. It might just be a bit too easy. If you had gave us some easy medals, I would probably like it more. There's a nice background and foreground here too.

[Blast The Bunny 2]

While the detail was fairly poor, I simply can not hate this because I got the medals so easily! Seriously, I got like a third of them on my first run! Yes, I know that's a shallow thing to say, but it sure makes an enjoyable game. The only reason I stopped playing was becaause I was tired of winning so many medals! You really need to tell us how many meters you've done while you're launching. There should have been much better lines too.

But who cares? It's impossible for me to get some of these hard ones on other games! I think the animation of the catapult appearing should have been shorter. It takes too long for it to show up. Even the way the catapult is set up is freaking awesome! Just try to have more obstacles, okay?

SketchistGames responds:

Ok, thanks for the review IF I make a third one I will keep these in mind ;D

[Micro Thief]

I appreciated this game because it had real style to it. It might have been fairly short, but not short enough for me. I managed to complete this game in 394 seconds, which averages out to six minutes and twenty-four seconds. I thought there was going to be more detail in the game as it went along. Like, I thought it would be the opposite of this one game where the quality got lower as it got lower. I thought there was going to be higher resolution as it went along.

This is still a decent game. It really is fairly different than many other games. It's probably the narrowest game I've ever played. It was like a less detailed version of the Meat Boy games. I thought the sounds were pretty good, but it could have used music.
