Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scarlet Stranger]

Great game!

It takes awhile to get used to the jumping automatically, but it's well worth it. I didn't like it how you had to figure out how to use the Z and X letters to fight at first. Still, I'm being nitpicky. The graphics in this are great and it's nice to see some familiar faces both in game and the creators. The sound effects are really good and give you a sense of being on a great adventure. It paces itself very well, too.

It's most satisfying how those pigs and things die with one hit. I'm surprised this doesn't have a higher score, given how popular you guys are. I thought the cutscenes at the beginning were pretty nice too. The music is also great for setting a medieval atmosphere. It's a game where you can really go out and explore a new world.

[Musaic Box]

Very unique game

I'm going to admit that I couldn't really understand how to play this game, but it's still a very cool thing to play. It's mostly because you really did go out of your way to make this different than other games. The coolest thing was probably how good the graphics are. There wasn't that much movement, but it simply looked great overall. Music is something people seem to take for granted. While not the best rythum game, definitley worth playing.

It was weird to see a puzzle game combined with a rythum game or whatever they are called. It's also great to see how organized everything looks. The instructions do seem to go on a bit too long. Well, you can skip it pretty fast by just clicking on everything. I appreciate you working on something that seems to be really cultured.

[The Floorsland 4]

Has its good and bad points

I think the weakest thing about this is how the graphics are not that good. I have played games like this and not really been interested because it was too bland. Now, this does have some good color effects, but that's really it. I wish you would have put more detail into the drawings so the finished product would look better. I don't really understand how it was supposed to be that appealing. I guess it was a good idea to have so many medals.

That music is a bit too overused on this site, I think. It just seems like there wasn't anything that original. It was just some blue block guy jumping around. I admit that the game wasn't too frustrating or anything, but you need a lot more to be appealing. The backgrounds should especially have more detail and there should be more emphasis on shading.

telinc1 responds:

1) I know this. That's why in my upcoming game, some of the graphics will be made in Photoshop. Thank you for telling me that!

2) I also know about the music. From now on, I use video game songs.

[shoot the ball robot]

Hard to dislike

Well, thank you for creating the game that sets the record for easiest medal to get! Or should I say, the easiest way to get all the medal(s) in a game. It looks like all the games are starting with rewarding medals with that new screen thing popping up. It's a pretty cool effect. What was frustrating was how it was annoying with the first level being so easy and then on the second level you had to work so hard to get all the dang robots.

At least it's satisfying when you finally topple those buggers. I couldn't really understand the notion of using an "X" as the main thing. It was a fairly non-sequitor game. If this is in fact just a demo like the medal says, then I would be eager to play the final version of this game. I wish they would die easier when they get hit.

jomarcenter responds:

mostly we make the game a lot harder... we will added different gravity system, portals, etc... so the final version may be epic....
(with added weekly level updates)
and mostly the people who get this only medal for version 0.1 - 1.0...
so if the game reached version 1.1 you cannot get this medal anymore...
but we have plan to add more medal...

[Crazy KeepUps]

The bouncing is good

There's not that much to say besides it works pretty well for what it is. I admit that it's a pretty cool idea to have powerups for a game about keeping a soccer ball up in the air. The best part is probably how good the graphics are. Everything looks really slick in this. Soccer is probably my favorite team sport, particularly because it's one that I'm fairly good at. I can't really recommend you adding more things because it's pretty much just fine the way it is.

Hello down there, XwaynecoltX! The music was pretty decent and I think there was some nice heart put into this. The sounds are nice, even if the only sound effects are those of you clicking the ball to keep it up. People who are bigger fans of soccer would probably enjoy this more. It's something that you might use for a quick play.

[Training targets]

Can't hate it

I am in fact a fan of shooting games, but this one didn't entertain me as much as I thought it would. It's hard to hate on it, because it does have a lot of good things about it. What I liked most was how slick the graphics were. It's especially cool to see how well the targets go up. The only irritating thing was that I swear I hit on the bullseye a few times and it said I didn't. At least my score was pretty consistent with how well I hit it.

It seems like it would appeal to someone who is a fan of shooting targets. I have never done hunting or anything like that in real life. I have played a few hunting games, but those are better because you get to hit moving targets. I am fairly good at this, and probably too good to even enjoy it. It's fine for a quick little play.

[wOne]

That was a nice game

I thought this was a very interesting game to play. I think the only real thing it was missing was music. It just wasn't a game that had a lot of sound effects. While I prefer your shooting games a lot more, this was still a ton of fun to play. Its strongest point is probably how there's only a couple of levels but the levels get more massive as you go along. Normally, they would just get harder, but then again, that is how this game becomes harder.

The graphics, while that well detailed, were really nicely done. It seems like you were just trying to create a free spirited game and succeeded. It's great how many great lengths you can go in this game, literally. This is a game that just gives you a lot of freedom. I appreciate you making different genres of popular games.

[Pico vs. Uberkids]

Great to play

While I can tell it's an older game, it actually looks very good. You being the creator, it makes sense that you would have some of the best graphics ever on this website. I notice that it seems like on the fourth try, the person gets shot. It's hard to predict exactly what is going to happen. I have heard that there are in fact rock paper scissors tournaments, hopefully ones that don't involve Russian Roulette. It also helps that the music is so good.

While not the action game I was preferring, it's great to look back at the stuff you've done over the years. Just a rock paper scissors game wouldn't be interesting enough. You'd be surprised at how many times you get a tie from that. It's funny how you put this under "Sports". At least it'll tide us over until Pico 2.

[Cyad 2]

Not too bad

What I liked about this was how well everything was presented. That might also be a negative, because at times it seemed a bit too simplistic. What also weighed it down was how there was no sound. I suggest you at least try to put some sound effects or music in this. At least you could have a song be part of it and just have a mute button to get rid of the sound. Level 5 was really the only one I am having trouble with.

What I also think is cool is that it's interesting when you have to collect all of the gems to move on. Well, I guess those are actually diamonds. What's also neat is how you're able to go so quickly. Unfortunately, it didn't have enough good things about it to recommend. I haven't played the original so I can't compare it at all.
