Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Neonider : Neon Avoider]

This was a fairly interesting game. I think its strongest point was how you had a lot of great color effects being used. It wasn't that well detailed, but it really didn't need to be. It reminded me of the "Stick Avalanche" games, which are in fact better. I'm not demeaning you, this was fairly unique in its own right. I was expecting a space shooting game where you attacked the guys that were coming after you.

The music did get a tad loud at times. It seemed like it wasn't really getting harder, it was getting more complicated. It was interesting to not know what obstacle would come up next. I suggest next time you probalby put in a bit more detail. Maybe if you play the game more, you'll enjoy it more.

[The Stick Adventure]

Well, I have to give you credit for creating an easy game. The problem was it just wasn't that enjoyable when it was so easy. I will admire it because I am bad at these kinds of games and wouldn't have been able to get past them anyway. I also love how you include a walkthrough in the author's comments. I think this is the first time I noticed an audio submission in something since this new format. I guess the stick thing has been done too many times.

I just always look for new stuff when playing stick games or watching stick flashes. I suggest you work on the graphics, because this looks fairly old. The best part in terms of visuals was at the end when you completed the game. Yeah, that level with shooting the guys was annoying, too. I don't think I could shoot anything but the riot shield and the ceiling.

[Last Robot 2]

This was a good game. I think its strongest point was probably how it had such a jumpy attitude to it. You got a really good sense that you were off in a fun world where reality didn't apply. Unfortunately, I am not very good at this game. It could probably have also been detailed a little better, but it's still worth checking out. I might come back and get all the upgrades someday.

I like how it's a game that moves so smoothingly along. You get a great sense that you're gliding through everything so well. It seems fairly easy at first, but not when you get to the bits with the clouds that disappear when you jump on them. It's fun to see how many different upgrades there are. The design's pretty good overall.

[The Love Letter]

Wow, that was a pretty wierd game for what it was worth. With all the medals, I assumed it was going to have a lot of levels. It didn't, but at least I managed to get one medal, which was "Ladies' Man". It's hard to understand, but it's worth what it is. What's so cool is that it has such a nice happy story to it. I only wish people in real life (or at least in MY life) could get together like this.

The graphics were good too. I like how you don't make it too flashy or anything, because you simply don't need to. It's a good game for its simplicity. Dang, I am starting to feel old, realizing it's been so old since I've even had a locker. At least I'll have the memories.

[Thor Towers]

Wow, I had no idea that a game that looked so simple could have so much style. What really makes this work is that it doesn't try to be elaborate or anything, it just gives off what it's supposed to give off. I had no idea that there were so many people who were so good at this game. It's pretty satisfying when you get to see the giant tower you have created. Granted, that also means you lose the game, but it's still nice to look at. I don't know what this has to do with Thor.

The music is also very nice and gives a nice game show appearance with it. It almost seems like it could be on a game show of some sort. While there isn't much detail, the graphics you do have are really nice. I appreciate the simple things. I am glad to see this won an award of any kind.

[Drake in Winterland Race]

Wow, this is one of the coolest games I have seen here in the past couple of months. The artwork looks a lot similar to the stuff from the "Ask Shagg" comic strip. Yes, I am one of the few people who still reads newspaper comics. The best part about this is how wonderfully colorful everything is. What's also nice is how it just goes on and on. This is the kind of game where it seems you can never stop playing, because of how long the levels are.

The music is also great and sends off a really stylistic tone to it. I appreciate the literally cool world this dragon lives in. There is just so much going on, you can't help but enjoy it. Not to mention that it's easy to get upgrades, at least one at a time with all the crystals you get. The music is also nice and it seems to put you in a classic era. I hope this wins Daily Feature!
