Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

[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.
