Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Holy Bictionary Rev.]

Now that's something!

Well, it doesn't have that much going on, but it certainly doesn't need to! This is a great submission mostly because you can get anything you want! I find it hard to believe there are even enough medals listed for what you can get. This is something you should play if only because you'll get some great medals with it. Maybe someday I'll get every single one. Thank you, for making such a well working non sequitor movie that's so well.

It seems like you just opened up a dictionary and got every "B" word you can find. Well, you probably only went for the more well known ones. The voice is pretty nice in this too. This is something really unique because of how ridiculous it is. I can just go on for all eternity pressing these buttons and having medals pop up over and over!

Thanks man! :) It did take A LOT of time and effort to put together (especially the typing and voices)
Thanks I love reading your reviews :)

[A Stick Mage Quest]

Kind a different

While it wasn't the best or worst game I've played, it was noticeable for several reasons. I think it's cool how everything is presented in a fairly simplistic manner. That is in no way an insult. I especially thought the whole business with the way the stick figures were drawn was pretty cool too. The only annoying thing was how it took awhile to power up. Oh, and a very Merry Christmas to you! The music was pretty good, it seemed to work well.

It's nice to see how everything moves so smoothily. It's not that much, but it's fairly decent for a little game. Too bad it doesn't have anything to do with Christmas. Whatever the intention was, it's still an RPG, which I'm not really a fan of. At first I thought you had to be closer to the enemies to attack them, but apparently you really didn't need to.

[Verge]

Generally good

What I liked about this was how well paced it was. It really was cool to see this interesting world for you to interact with. It's hard to complain about it simply because, well, I'm really good at it. I don't even know how it is that I'm so good at it, it's mostly just me going around and stepping on buttons leading from one thing to another. I wish I knew how to purposely get ahead. What's strange is that the controls are fairly easy, but it's still a complicated game.

Thank you so much for making an easy medal. It's certainly the only one I could earn, because it was hard to make heards or tails out of this game. I do have to give you props for creating an original game. I always look for that in a game, even if I can't quite understand it. Well, I wish you a very merry Christmas today and a happy new year!

[Draka 2:No More Christmas]

Pretty good

While not one of the best in the series, this was still fairly enjoyable to play. Where I ran into trouble was on the third level because I didn't know how to play it. I assumed I had to just connect the balloons to Draka. I managed to do that with one, but it was dumb luck I even got that in the first place. At least the graphics are nice enough to enjoy. The music was pretty good but it probably could have had a bit more as it went along.

It's so cool to see people being turned into spider monsters. I'm not sure how this magic works, but it's pretty cool to play with. I can always count on gamezhero to sponsor high quality games. I guess I hope you all have a merry Christmas and stuff. The colors are very nice in this, particularly with how well they are detailed.

[Clicking Game 2]

Seems impossible

I'm not a fan of this game, mostly because it seems impossible to complete. By that I mean, I am trying to touch the man without touching the cage and it can't be done. The graphics themselves aren't that much either. There needs to be a stronger emphasis on shading and stuff like that. What's weird is how I tried to get in through the speech balloon but it didn't work. Even though I couldn't see it, when I got to the part where the cage was, I still lost!

The best thing is probably how you have such nice music. It helps that Queen is my all time favorite band. It gets annoying when you keep hearing that farting sound over and over when you lose. If anyone else is able to figure this out, then I give that person sincere credit as I can not do it. It is truly a hard puzzle game.

I'm not pro at making flash. this is one of my first games. and btw, there is a way to finish the first round

[A Weekend Alone]

Another odd game

Judging from the medals, I thought you were actually going to make a game for this. It would be like one of those things where you submit your own stuff. I had no idea that it could be so strenous just not peeing your pants. Hey, with this time frame, that's something that probably wouldn't even matter. There were a lot of medals that didn't have points. It's weird they would show up in a game where you do have medals with points.

The music certianly made it seem like you were alone. I imagine this is what it's like for people who have to work with a deadline. Heck, people who make games or flash quickly probably have to deal with this. It was a fairly realistic game. It makes you feel proud for all of the people who put so much time and effort into this.

[Tower Defence]

Congrats on the views

Well, it must be weird having something so popular that most people don't seem to like. What I didn't like about this was how the graphics were not very good. Everything just seemed so bland. I have played so many defence games that have had better detail. Even the name needs to have more to it. It would also be a lot more enjoyable if there were sounds to accompany the enemies as they were being defeated.

I suggest you put in a lot more detail into pretty much everything. Try to work better with the shading, because it seems way off in this. Well, maybe not so much off as it looks like it took little effort to make. The music wasn't that bad. I am sorry, but there is definitley a lot of room for improvement for the creation of another game.

[Tactical Force 1]

Nothing that special

I thought that the graphics in this were really impressive. It reminded me of those awsome "Time Crisis" games I used to play in arcades. Of course, those were better because they were better paced. I guess this could have been better if there had been some more suspenseful music or something. It got a bit redundant how I was able to just shoot the same guys over and over. The headshots were effective, though.

The controls were fairly easy to understand. I guess the use of locations could have been better. I must have hands that are shakier than I think because during the sniper sections I am just not able to get immediate hits in training. For some reason, I thought this would be a defense game. I guess there have just been a lot of those lately.

[Touch The Core2]

Hard to like that much

I guess I can't say it's that bad because I seem to know so little about it. I got the first level done pretty easily. All I had to do was simply take my mouse cursor to where the dot was and wait for everything else to stop moving. The second level is freaking murder for me. I tried touching the key, but I died. In fact, I tried touching everything on the entire screen and I kept dying. I don't think it's possible to progress without touching at least one thing.

I guess I will give you guys credit for having a decent layout. Everything is presented in a fairly clear cut manner. There have been literally thousands of games I have played here so I wouldn't know what the original was like. It was pretty cool to have such a wide variety of music. It seemed more of a puzzle game than anything else.

fortunacus responds:

thanks ericho for the comment, I update the level order then,please check it up again

[CCL game]

Quite unique

What I thought was really weird about this was how I didn't know what some of these things were at first. I thought the wave thing was a drill. It certainly wouldn't make any sense like that. What I thought was the best was how you could really experiment with this game but another downside was that it just took so frigging long to find the right combination. It could have also used some more color. The all around graphics are still well done.

The sounds are nice and they synch up well with everything. I like how these little things just go off whenever they are doing nothing. It's interesting to note how so many of these things fit together and how each part is very important. It takes awhile to understand it, but it might be worth it to complete the level. I have to give you props for coming up with something original.
