Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Protect the dog]

It's easy to see how this has such a low rating. I thought it was way too simple. I couldn't get anywhere with the broom. I didn't care about this dog. If you had made it about a cat, that would have been much more interesting. I didn't like that leash.

It looked like the dog was being hanged! Everyone and everything dies eventually. Except for the immortal jellyfish. Wait, what would happen if you set one on fire? Would it reform from the smoke?

That was indeed an interesting game, but I admit it made little sense. I would have to mess with it to truly understand it. Congrats on being the highest rated submission for Ludum Dare 50. I just don't agree. It just seemed kind of boring. The idea was still unique.

Although they have the same theme, these games are all different. I need to look at these author comments first. I thought "you got stunned" was some phrase an obnoxious kid in school told me. Apparently, other people have said that. That was so annoying.

This game isn't as easy as it looks. Well, I mean the medal. You didn't just hit the same target. You certainly hit with the bat, but there were different ways. It was too simple. Well, it doesn't really matter.

I could recognize this art style. You are pretty prolific. It was too repetitive. I didn't get any skulls from killing an enemy! I think that would count!

[NECROMICIDE]

This is easily the best submission for Ludum Dare 50. The best part is probably how much it reminds me of "Alien Hominid". The artwork even looks the same. I especially love how you have a lot of lives. I wasn't sure how to kill the boss at first. I guess I was just expecting a health bar or something.

Health bar. That sounds like something you eat. I'm glad I figured out how to shoot upwards. This could become a console game like "Alien Hominid". Well, "Friday Night Funkin" would be more appropriate.

[The Last Construct of Edos]

Well, that was rather odd. It was my first impression of the games in this Ludum Dare. I wasn't able to advance that far. Well, the purpose was to die. That was quite creative. It just got annoying.

I love the music though. Those eyes were really disturbing. I would just have to understand it more. Death is always inevitable. We're always delaying that.

[STARLINE HORIZON]

I was surprised the rating wasn't higher. Okay, it was pretty hard. It was difficult to find the stars. I thought I had scanned the entire area. I assumed they were all near the bottom. I couldn't tell what was in the mountains.

I'll never get all those stars. This is truly up to eleven! I thought the graphics were really inspiring. It reminded me of some really old games that I believe predate this website. Well, around 2000 at least.

[Super Sepu Land]

I really shouldn't be loving this. It's only because of how reminiscent of Mario it is. The medals are waaaaay too hard. I mean, you don't even get one for completing a zone! It just isn't that satisfying of a game for me. I still think it's a great game! It's extremely creative, just super frustrating.

There were always different enemies and environments. I only knew I would die a lot and never get any medals. I can tell you there isn't a medal for not skipping the cutscenes. My favorite was probably the cloud level. This reminds me of "Enough Plumbers" with how blatant of a Mario ripoff it is.

Hi!
Sorry for medals being so hard, hope you enjoyed it besides that.
Thank you for playing!

[RED in The Wrong Part of Town.]

Wow, that was rather odd. I mean, it was pretty annoying. I was just shooting over and over. It put strain on my finger! Well, it was definitely creative. It was just too easy to die with those women jumping on you!

They were easily the most annoying enemies. I still have to give this credit for creativity. It looked like a red Garfield was coming after me! Red couldn't have been in the wrong part of town if everything was red. Jumping usually helped.

[=KRUDSHOT CAFE=]

Well, this game was extremely impressive, but it was certainly difficult! The enemies were so unique. I am so glad to have come by this interesting game. I can see why the score is so high. The timer was when it really lost me. It seems like more games have that nowadays.

The atmosphere was so amazing. I'm used to seeing VHS-style stuff. That seems to even apply for games. The worst enemies were probably the ones who came after you and fired after they died. You just have to take your time so well with these. This is sure to become a classic!

[Light Push]

Damn, I was really surprised at how hard this got! Level 3 and beyond was when I had to look at a walkthrough. Happy April Fool's Day if that means anything! The music and nice and serene. I just didn't know what to do next. It seemed like such a simple game at first.

I know I say that too much. These games have such similar content that they should be considered sequels. It was a light push in every sense of the way. Well, I don't know how heavy these things are. It was quite enjoyable.
