Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Switch - Reaction Game]

I understand

Well, it's hard to say bad things about this, because it doesn't try to be anything more than what it is. It's really nice to see a game so simple. Granted, I probably wouldn't care for this at all if it didn't have any medals. I thought I was going to get a medal for having 100, but that's 125. What I find unbelievable is how anyone would be able to get 250 in anything other than hard. If someone did, you would probably have to invent a medal point with more than 100 points.

It's not really a collect game, I guess. This could have been better if you had added sound of some kind. Even if that might be annoying to people, you could always have a mute option. There could have also been some more colors used. I imagine more people would want to play and earn medals if you added more stuff.

Cogwirrel responds:

I've added music now, plus a mute button to keep people sane! Let me know what you think! :)

[Humaliens Battle 4]

Generally good

What I found to be cool about this was how well everything moved along. The best part was probably how I didn't know you were going into the actual gameplay. I am proud to give this the highest star rating of any review you have had. I thought it was interesting to see all those different ships. Now, on to the bad parts. The animation really wasn't that good and the characters looked pretty blocky and the series has seen better graphics.

The sounds aren't too bad, but I probably didn't like this enough to recommend it. At least everything is presented in a fairly understandable matter. What's also cool is how the backgrounds are decent. I was afraid it was just going to be a game where you moved your places around. I like how it leads up to something cooler.

[Tribal Jump]

Nice for what it is

I think the biggest fault here is that it isn't very well detailed. I know it doesn't have to be like that, but there wasn't much going on. It was a lot harder than I thought! If you so much as went an inch or so off, you lost and had to restart everything! I guess I'm just too used to playing games where you can get by on another platform with an approximation. At least the idea was fairly original, which I always find for.

I couldn't tell what that animal was at first. I thought it would have been some racist cariacture or something. You could also make the sound effects a bit better, as they seem to get redundant. I guess there's nothing really terrible about this, just nothing really noteworthy about it either. I appreciate the different style.
