Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Above the Clouds]

I know I've played this before, but I haven't voted on it. Maybe it's just deja vu? I mean, it was released in January so I obviously could have. Anyway, the actual game isn't bad at all. It's just frustrating. I guess a laptop isn't that suitable for it. I was surprised at how well it escalated.

Well, it got hard all at once. Wow, that sounds dirty. I'm not good with the hook. I like how quaint it looks. Stop making me question if this is deja vu.

[360 Degrees]

Damn it, I don't have a mouse! I use a laptop! Well, anyone can figure something out, can't he or she? I love how there's so much going on. I have no idea how to get any of these assignments fully done. The animation was fairly good.

I just wish it was easier to understand. I can at least read the stuff written on the bottom. With all the music credits, you'd need a long song list. I can't go 360 degrees. I was never good at a skateboard in real life anyway.

[Michaelsoft Binbows '97]

I thought the title was "Bimbo". Well, that would have been too far from the actual name. I still loved this, because we need more parodies of computers! Michaelsoft's a pretty funny pun. I knew there'd be an explosion when I shut down! It's just great to search for every little detail I can. We all know what it's like to deal with a faulty computer.

Well, back in 1997, all computers were like this. I think I had a computer back then? I remember being in class at that time and being like the only kid to not have a computer. That's such an original joke for Minesweeper! Nobody really liked that game. The lack of medals showing up makes it more authentic.

[A Toad's Trip]

I'm probably only giving this a high score because I managed to get far in it. At first, I was afraid I'd have to do different tasks every day. I'm glad the game was so much simpler! I just got stuck in a fence at the end of the game. Maybe that was because of the pills I took. I still couldn't beat it.

I was afraid the banana peels were trash I was supposed to push along. I was afraid all the trash was something I had to push along and I'd lose by swallowing them. That's why licking toads gets you high! Well, it's reversed in this scenario.

[Subsist Baddies]

I admit that the artwork didn't look that good. Well, should I say the spritework? This was still a pretty addictive game. Yep, it's only because of the medals. I'm glad to have come by such a big game. You really get the big picture here.

The music was impressive, although maybe a bit too loud. You had a fairly good variety of enemies. I am glad it got Daily 4th Place. That um...seems to make sense. It's good for a timewaster.

[Valkyrie Command]

Well, this is indeed a great game, but damn is it hard! I mean, I thought I'd get medals for just beating the boss! It was still gorgeously done. I'm glad sprite work is still popping up every now and then. You had to do a lot of maneuvering in this. I'd have to train for a long time to get it done.

The colors are so wonderfully bright. I don't care about the backstory. I've never heard of any Mech Jam. Well, there's so many of those jams to even keep up with at this point. I thought I was better at games.

[isle]

If you teach a man to fish, he'll play this game all day. This wasn't bad. It was just kind of annoying having to play a rhythm game. Well, just catching a fish would be too easy. I guess I was thinking more of a game where you saw the hook go down. Those are just better.

This is some nice sprite work. I like how unique it is. I'm glad you can pause the game. I guess this is just it. It's fine for what it is, just not great. It's a pretty laid back game.

[ZemmiPhobia]

If you thought I had never heard of ZemmiPhobia before, you'd be right. There is a phobia for literally EVERYTHING. It is indeed a phobia of the naked mole rat. Well, it's more of a fear of the GREAT mole rat. This is very nicely animated. It is repetitive, though.

Given the surreal nature of this phobia, that makes sense. I thought the mole rat was animated by Luis at first. I can tell this is part of a jam. It still doesn't have its own section. I'm still motivated by how goofy this is.

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for the review! We are very happy you enjoyed it. It was animated by Fellowes and colored by me.

[The Last Piece of Cake DX]

I would say that the cake is a lie, but that's a discredited meme. Wait, this came out before that meme! I can still say it! The cake is a lie. Well, not if you win this game. I didn't even know this was a game at first.

This is my brother's birthday too! I guess you could call this a celebration of his birthday! I didn't even know this was a game at first. You can tell it came from 1999. That must be some record for latest submission.

[Jumping Clones]

This was a great game, but it was very difficult. Dang, I sound too whiney. I know there's a walkthrough somewhere. I've gotten used to games like this from you. No, not that I'm getting better at them. I just recognize them more.

I got further than some reviewers! Yeah, it's the little things that matter. The music was quite appropriate. At first, I thought those red teleportation things were traps. The red blocks looked dangerous too.
