Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Freeway Fury 2]

Good driving game

What I find interesting about this is that it actually works well as a regular game. I was afraid I was just going to stop when I went past the first minute. I'm sorry that I am not that interested in this, as I didn't experiment much with this game. One thing I found to be cool was how the graphics were presented. Everything is done in a pretty clear manner. You can basically just beat the level by just weaving between the cars as you would normally.

It could have perhaps had some more things going on, but still a playable game. The notion of jumping out and taking control of other cars is pretty cool. I especially like the skulls that appear on the sides of the screen. The music also gives off a nice thrilling sense. There is certainly a lot of room for you to manuever around.

[Kulkis 1.5]

Strange again

This a good game, but its main fault is that it's simply so hard to understand. I really have no idea where I'm supposed to go with this! I still have to give it credit for generally being fun to play because of all the stuff going on. I thought I had to collect all the keys at first, but apparently not. There are so many wonderfully done flashy colors in this. I don't even know what strengthens me or weakens me or anything else like that!

It can be fun once you get the hang of it. It's great to see all these things just flying all around the screen, including yourself. Just try to make a game that is more comprehensible next time, okay? I will still praise you for having a very vibrant style. It's neat to see how you exist in this weird and surreal world with these dangers.

[Rock Rush: Undervaults]

Fairly interesting

I liked this game because it was very challenging. Of course, I also probably didn't like it as much as I could have also because it was so challenging. There were simply so many of these rocks that could so easily kill you! It's still an innovative game, but I would suggest making the levels easier. I know that sounds whiney, but you can simply have the levels start off easier and then go to harder ones. I also really admire the graphics.

What was also cool about this was how well the sounds synched with everything. It really gives you the idea of being trapped in this world. It's amazing how easy it is to blow stuff up. At least there's a lot of room for you to go around and explore. It's annoying how you lose a bunch of jewels when you die.

[Bullet Audyssey]

Pros and cons

This was a decent game but there were definitley some things that were wrong with it. I think its biggest weakness was that it didn't seem to make much sense. I just assumed that you would be able to destroy various parts of the ship. Instead, it doesn't matter where you hit your targets. It is still a pretty interesting game, particularly with how it's fairly unique. I enjoyed the different aspects of it, especially how you could absorb bullets.

I'm still not sure if it became stronger the longer (rhymes, lol) you absorbed them. It could have been better detailed, but still good. It just goes to show that you don't have to be too flashy or anything to make a good game. The controls are also easy to understand. At least you manage to get a medal for nearly every level you beat.

[Shore Siege 2]

Very fun

The funny thing is that when I lost, the marshmellow was in this weird shape. It looked so distorted and funny. What was also cool was how slick the graphics were. I admit that I wasn't really that interested in the game as it seemed a bit boring at first. It got a lot better when the funny looking enemies came. Note: The cannons extending from the ship aren't good with enemies that are close range, so use ground cannons.

It was actually pretty simple when you got used to it. It's still a great game because it just gives you a joyous sense of being on the high seas with those pirates. It could have been a little more detailed, but still nicely done. I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving not that this had anything to do with Thanksgiving. I don't think pirates were there in 1621.

[Culmination]

It doesn't get any better than this!

This is one of the most awesome games I have ever played on Newgrounds! Every single second there was something fantastic going on. It was weird how at the final boss, I lost simply by not being able to keep up with him. The animation was drop dead gorgeous in this, particularly with how everything was designed. I have always been a fan of spider legs in artwork. With the hard villain just try to jump behind him to inflict damage.

It's also great how you can defeat enemies simply by knocking them off the ledge! I also love how you created the medals with how they unlock when you get them. You have created a fantastic world for the player to live in. I can just not get enough of this game! It's one of the most addictive I've played in a long game and just perfect! Thank you for this masterpiece!

[Minute Hardcore]

Quite fun!

The thing that makes this so good is how you have interesting gameplay with simple controls. The only thing I probably didn't like was how you only had a minute to shoot things! It isn't even that much of a problem when you have to change colors. There are so many enemies, you just wait for the next ones. At first I thought it was that you could only kill enemies with the same color, but it was the other way around. That certainly makes it easier.

What's also cool is the music which set the tone well. It could have been detailed a little better, but still lots of fun to play. You had a pretty cool name to go with it. I have always enjoyed playing games like this, probably because of how much mobility the player has. Dang, and I still have yet to win any of the medals!

[StrawberyClock Smackdown]

The best of Clock Day!

Dude, I was disappointed that there wasn't a single submission for Clock Day 2011 that I gave a 5 to. I am so glad to be proven wrong with this awesome game! I just loved everything about this game! There were so many awesome jokes about everything this website is about. My favorite would have to be the animutation level. I just love animutation and am sad that few people have made those in the past several years.

The medals didn't show up on screen when I got them. That doesn't matter, because even though this was fairly easy, it was still great to play. It's been so long since I've seen any of the "Zombie" characters. I loved how there was so much great detail put into the enemies. Thank you for bringing back my faith in the Clock Crew! It is also easily the best thing the one and only StrawberryClock worked on.

[Sea Quiz]

An odd quiz

I thought that I knew more about the ocean, but apparently not enough. This was a pretty good game, because the graphics were good. It's just that the premise seemed kind of silly. I just don't know why I'm going around bit by bit in the ocean. It might have been better to come up with a more elaborate way of putting the questions up. Some of it comes off as a bit gaudy. It's still far from the first thing I've played.

There's actually a fairly nice amount of detail put into this game. It just has a really goofy looking layout. You should have had more action going on if you were going to make it look like that. At least you tried to give us some good information. I know how deep the world is so it makes sense that the lowest point would not be the biggest presented at ten miles deep.

[Rural Racer]

Rural indeed

This was good for probably the same reasons it wasn't that good. What's cool is how the graphics are so nice and it doesn't try to be too elaborate. Then again, I guess I might have liked it more if it was fairly more elaborate. It's still a good submission, it just gets repetitive. It's still good to get a good shot of everything that's in your path, so you can plan strategies. The worst part is of course turning which really gets you in the end.

My advice is to go as fast as possible and be sure to change direction at the right time. I do kind of think that 8 laps is a bit too much. It's still a nice game as the graphics it does have are really good. Everything seems to be well detailed, especially how the cars drive around. I wish you guys would submit some newer stuff here!
