Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avalanche - Nitrome]

Good game

I guess the winter games are really going to show their true colors (or perhaps lack of) this time of year. I liked this game because it had a really fun attitude to it. What I didn't like was how you could basically got press the same button over and over to win. It's still a good game, because the graphics are as good as ever. There has simply never been a game you guys made that didn't have good graphics. This style was always unique.

The music is nice and sets the wintery tone well. I guess people are just using Christmas and winter times together as I was thinking this could be a Christmas game. Penguins are always cute. I especially liked when you got to the rockets because the penguin looked really silly as he flew around everywhere and stuff.

[Reindeer Bounce]

Quite a fun game

I had no idea this game was going to be that much fun. It turned out to be really enjoyable because it had such a light spirit to it. I had fun bobbing all those reindeer around. It also really helped that I'm just pretty good at this game. There is not a single level I have played so far where I didn't get over the number that I needed. I hope this game gets some recognition. The music is nice and pretty suiting.

What I found weird was how it was hard for me to tell when they would turn into fireworks. Isn't that more of the fourth of July? It took me awhile to realize that the number was written on the reindeer themselves. It could have been more elaborate, but it's still a decent game. It's probably the first Christmas game I have played this year.

[Pulse Online]

There's room for improvement

What I didn't like here was that I had to wait awhile for some of the players to show up. I even died simply by hitting the side of whatever it is these boundaries are. I probably would have liked this game more if I was in any way good at it. The lowest medal is for 100 players killed and I couldn't even get one! I guess I can contribute to it by letting myself be killed by other players. It seems strange a game this big has gotten fairly few views.

The sounds were decent, but I felt everything could have been detailed. I especially think the ships looked a bit bland. If anyone has achieved most of the medals here, I will say they hacked the system somehow. I guess the problem is that there can be too few or too many players so easy. It's just hard what to make of it.

[Beast Squad]

It was unique

The best thing about this game is that it really does use an original idea. What I didn't like was that it's the kind of style that's going to take awhile to get used to. After awhile, you don't know where to put the trampolines. Then again, that's largely the point of how it gets harder as it goes along. What I also found weird was that it wasn't much of a platformer game because you had little control over the squirrel. At least the graphics were nicely done.

It's the kind of game that's going to take awhile to get used to. I don't even know the way to get the best A grade by using everything that you have. Everything actually was presented in a bit of a clear manner. I guess this game really isn't my kind, but at least I tried something new. I have to give you props for having a truly bizarre game.

[Disguise-o-matic]

It had its good points

What I thought was cool about this was that it was a pretty steady going game. What I didn't like was that it could have used music. I tried turning on the on and off thing for music, but I guess that was referring to the sound effects as nothing happened when I used them. At least I was able to get the first medal. The weird thing is that I don't even know what it is that I did to get that medal! I guess it's just too confusing for me.

At least the graphics aren't too bad. The outlines of the clothes are especially well done. What little sound effects there were weren't bad. It seems like it's been awhile since dress up games were submitted here. I guess people are just not that interested in porn anymore, which is what most of these games results in. The colors could have been brighter, though.

[Castle Cat 3]

I love this thing

I sooo wish that you would submit "Castle Cat 4" to Newgrounds. It is easily the best in the series! What makes this so awesome is the music. You choose only the best and most appropriate soundtracks for your work. I especially love how cartoonish everything looks. There are all kinds of crazy enemies going around. It's the kind of game where you really have no idea what's going to come up next in it.

I love how steadily Castle Cat moves. He seems like a real Daffy Duck like character, especially given that Daffy Duck has been alluded to in previous games. I don't know if the leopard coat does anything, but it's cool! It is to a ceratin extent a bit too easy. I think my favorite part is when you turn into a bee and get flowers.

[Cowlorful]

Why the fairly low score?

Dude, this is one of the most awesome games I have ever played! It really helps that the artwork is just plain fantastic. Another awesome thing was how you were just able to plop around and really do whatever you wanted in this game. I love this giant world that you have created. It's just so adorable to see the cow run around in the grass all the time. The best levels are the ones where the backgrounds become colored as the game goes on.

I know Jimp has great artwork, but this is some of his best work! The music is also very calming and gives you a great feeling of being in a peaceful world. Some people might not like that, but I love it! There are just so many things going on with all these great places to explore! This is one of the best underrated games I have ever played on this website. I hope you continue to make great stuff like this!

[Star Claws]

Such cute cats!

I have to give this credit for having some truly adorable animals in it! That is probably the best part of this. It's just awesome to see these cute guys cut up aliens in such an awesome way. The graphics are really good too. My only problem is that this does seem to be kind of a slow game and it takes awhile to advance. I would like it if you put in a speeding up button. It's still a decent game to play.

It's interesting to play a game that's so dang colorful. Every single bit of animation just seems to be wobbling around ready to go into action. While it isn't that enjoyable, it's actually quite addictive. The best part is seeing the kittens chop up the aliens like that. Forget "Monsters Vs. Aliens" it should be "Cats Vs. Aliens".

[Super Mouse Adventures]

How strange

In terms of pacing, this is a pretty standard avoid game. I'm glad I found one of its kind that doesn't involve hentai of any kind. Now, the fault of this game is that the design is a bit too simplistic. It was still pretty fun to play, it could have just been detailed better. What's also cool is how these little powerups just keep whirling around the screen. Their appearances are so random, they're probably not even worth seeking out.

You're better off just letting them hit you as that certainly happens. The music was good and it's great that you have such a wide variety of music. I think my favorite powerup is when the colors get all flashy. It doesn't amount to that much, but it's still nice to look at. The text could have also been presented a bit better.

[Menu Screen: The Game]

How strange

Wow, what else can you say about a game that's literally about the menu screen? I have to give this credit because it was certianly creative. I don't know how to even play it, but it's definitley worth checking out. I tried submitting some gibberish and it just said it wasn't compatitible. This has to be one of the most incomprehensible games I've ever played. I really have to recommend this, because it's so absurd it's worth checking out.

Maybe someday I'll be able to progress in it, if I even can. The music was decent. It was cool how you used an audio submission called "00001" for something about the menu screen. It's a very basic game, at least I think it is. I guess the text could have been a bit more elaborate, but this is simply something that is what it is.
