Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[tsf Polar Jump]

It works for what it is

What I find funny about this is that it has only a few appealing features. I do have to admit that those few appealing features are pretty good. I think the best part is the animation/graphics. It really is cool to see this character plop around the ice pieces. I also like his voice. What did strike me as annoying was that this game was just really hard because you had to get everything right the first time you tried it and didn't get a chance to improve.

At least the music was pretty good. It seems like it was trying to soothe the player to get through this difficult game. I didn't even know that was a squirrel at first. This is probably better than your Tribal Jump game, if only because everything was slightly better. Wow, I just got a much better score on this game, it isn't that hard after all!

[Dangerous Christmas]

Fairly decent

What I liked about this was how there was really quite a bit of variety in the design of the levels. It did get kind of annoying when you only had one medal that was worth 100 points. Then again, that's probably just too whiny. What I found to be cool was how you were able to glide along so well. It seems like there was a lot of effort put into the designs. The sprites just look so good in this and the sound effects were good too.

I thought this would be a game about fighting elves, but it wasn't. I would recommend that next time you make a game that focuses more on enemies and not booby traps. I never liked those in a game. It kind of makes you wonder how there could be lit fires in an ice cavern. You are lucky for having this featured on January 13th!

[Chuck the Sheep]

Great game!

I could have sworn that this was a game made by The-Super-Flash-Bros. It's mostly because it has cutesy animals in it. It still helps that it was made by some of my favorite people on this website! It's great to see jmtb02 and Jimp working together. What I think is the best about this is how you are really able to take your time because you are always on the left most part of the screen as the game goes on. The visuals are great.

Don't expect me to want to have people stop shearing sheep, I'm no PETA guy. It's really cool how much power you can gain from just one upgrade. What I found weird was how it was hard to understand the mechanics a bit. It's still a very nice game mostly because it has such a great sense of fun in it. The music is as good as ever.

[Rainbow Dash Minigame]

Decent of its kind

What I liked about this was that the graphics were actually decent. It's one of the few times where I saw sprite versions of the "Friendship Is Magic" characters. The best part is probably the music. It is very upbeat and sets off a really good sense of being in the clouds. Call me crazy, but I thought it was funny to see Rainbow Dash bump into Derpy and the clouds even though it took your life away. The pacing is good too.

Now for the negatives. I felt like there should have been more obstacles than just Derpy and the lightning. Those are the only ones I could find and it gives off the impression that the game isn't well detailed. It's still a nice game, but not the best MLPFIM game I've played. It kind of makes me wonder how long it will be until we get a collection for that cartoon.

[Sol: Clockwork- Part 1]

Pretty nicely designed

What I thought was best about this was how it took its time. Granted, it did seem to go on a bit too long, but it was still fun to play. I think things really took off when the girl came and you got to show off your weapons. I assumed you would get a medal just by not skipping the first cut scenes, but I was wrong. At least I managed to get one without even looking at what that medal meant. The graphics are pretty good.

The music is decent and gives off a nice feeling of being in a medieval atmosphere. I was confused with how I wasn't able to interact with anything in the first houses. From the title, I was thinking this was going to be Clock Crew related. It's one of the few submissions that isn't. There's a fine amount of detail in this too.

[Abobo's Big Adventure]

One of the best!

This is one of the finest games I have ever come across on this website! Abobo looks like the Thing from "The Fantastic Four". I just love how you have no idea what is going to be on the next level and the enemies are so fantastically designed! It's the kind of game where you throw in everything from those classic arcade games. It might in fact be the best thing you guys have ever worked on. It was great to relive all these classic games!

I do kind of wish you could include a walkthrough. I have done absolutely everything I can with that sparkling block. I have hit it numerous times not to mention I've even hit it with the most powerful sword attack. I don't think there's anything you CAN do to beat that level! You probably have the coolest way of having medals show up on the screen. This is an awesome game I will play all day.

[Don't Catch the Herp!]

Fairly funny

I thought this was a good game. While it wasn't one of the best I've ever seen, it was still fairly enjoyable. I think its weakest point might have been that I really couldn't understand what was even going on. Everything was so fast paced you had to move quickly. It's still a decent stick game and I especially like how you have such different graphics, like one part is sprite and the other is more stick stuff.

It's one of the few games I've played where are not able to skip the opening scene. It's just as well, because it's fairly entertaining. I hope you do more cool stuff like this. I was confused as to how to get past the drunken guy at first, but then realized you couldn't jump over him and just had to wait for him to stop. I like how the girl is this alien thing.

[Murloc RPG]

Fantastic!

While I'm generally not a fan of these kinds of games, I simply had to love this. This is one of the most authentic looking fan made tributes to "World Of Warcraft" I have ever seen! It seems to be just like something you would see in a professional MMORPG. You deserve your millions of views because this piece has great relevance to this website. The music is also pretty stylistic. Now, onto the gameplay.

While I can't really get into games like this that much, you certainly arose my interest. It was just so cool to see all of these guys wandering around in this unique world. It's the kind of game where you learn it as you go along. I love how there's a lot of features, but it isn't that confusing. It's a good start for someone not good at these kinds of games, like me.

[Submachine 01: the Basement]

Pretty nicely done

It's interesting to see where this lengthy series got its start. You normally don't think of games as having episodes, but this one certainly seemed like it did. I think the strongest point was how you didn't do anything to be that elaborate, but at the same time didn't dumb it down. Middle ground is always good. What was really cool was how you were able to go past everything so quickly. I guess I'll just mention to you guys how far I got.

Look around for the piece of white paper and collect it. I have now gotten so far I've forgotten most of what I did. It's unbelievable how fast you can move around in this game. While I'm generally not a fan of point 'n click adventures, this was still very fun to play. There is a wide labyrinth of areas with all these crazy rooms.
