Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ethereal Celenite]

Quite different

Well, I was hoping to walk away from this game with at least one medal and I did! I got the medal for having a 35+ combo! This wasn't as enjoyable as a lot of other games like this, mostly because it was a lot harder. I don't like it how you have to form a perfect cube. Then again, I have to give it credit for being unique. The music wasn't bad, and while a bit irritating, it did contribute to the more fun parts of the game.

It's cool how everything changes color when you go to another level. The graphics are pretty good. When something is just a bunch of squares over and over, you know you're good when you manage to make that look impressive. The bombs are easily the things you want to get the most. I'm not even sure how they work!

Azh321 responds:

Thanks a lot for your review. You should try the game out again some time, im sure you can figure out the bombs and how the combos work. Try to break your personal high score!

I loved these things!

I used to play these sorts of games all the time when I had "Highlights" magazine. I don't subscribe to that anymore obviously. It's still nice for a trip back memory lane. The best part is how nicely these pictures are drawn. There's a nice amount of detail so you can tell there's going to be differences. The second level is particularly hard, as there isn't that much to go with. Wait, now I do still do that sort of thing in Slylock Fox comic strips.

Yes, I am one of the few people who reads newspaper comics. The music is nice and sets the tone. I'm still unclear as to how to get the medals, as I went through the levels and didn't get any. It's nice to know that this was done with a real sense of fun in mind. It's not my favorite kind of game, but entertaining to play.

Quite the anti-game

This is something definitley worth playing, because it's like it seems to mock you by its own design. The voice of course mocks you the entire time. I think this might be the worst offender of that ever happening in a game. It's not that bad when something is hard, but when there's a voiceover...it's actually fairly entertaining. At least you're being honest with how impossible this game is. I waited until this game had medals to play it.

That doesn't matter now, because I have yet to recieve a single medal. I'm not that dumb, I figured out how I died! Then again, that's only because the link that led me to this page told me that. JohnnyUtah is hilarious as the voice of the creator. I love the artwork in this, particularly how there are very creative ways of dying.

[Handless millionaire]

That's what I call motivation

This was a very interesting game to play because everything had so much tension in it. I really felt for when I was about to lose my hand in the game. I would of course never do this in real life. I would know that eventually, I would lose at least one limb and it would take all the money I would get to get an artificial limb. This wasn't that much detailed, but it didn't have to be. It was a good tension creating game.

I liked the omnious sound the guillotine (?) made whenever it hit down. You really didn't know how to predict what was coming next. It wasn't that it got faster, it was that it got more complicated. I doubt $188 is going to be enough to get two artificial limbs with any left over. I have to be so careful not to have that unpleasant image brought out.

How strange

This game is tons of fun probably because I'm so good at it! The highest point from which I can get points is at the 1200 mark and I went all the way to 1000 on my first try! It's great that you make a game so simple, but fun. It's probably because it goes on for a long time with different variety that you don't care how easy it is at first. I have no clue how to get all those other medals, but they randomly showed up on screen. Seriously, it must have taken a minute for them up to load!

I have no clue how that works, but know that this game is awesome. It's especially satisfying when you get more feet because of how far you go in one fall. I was afraid it was going to be a game where you made a free fall with obstacles in your way. There should be more great games like this. I hope you had as much fun making it as I did playing it!

That was weird

The funny thing I noticed is that I think I missed the directions. I was able to get past the first level of this game however. The coolest thing was how all I had to do was simply pick up speed to jump over the block. It's strange it would be like that, but I don't know how to advance beyond that. I still have to give you guys credit for having a game that looks wonderfully made with flawless graphics. It's truly unlike anything I've played before.

That might be because it's so incomprehensible that I can't go far. I like the weird design of this little guy. I have no idea what's going on, but the transition effects are awesome, especially with how they go from one level to the next. It's great to know you guys will never run out of original ideas! You guys will never stop making them either.

[mad shark]

This is great

This really works because it provides a really good representation of what it's like to be a shark. The main flaw is that it's too easy to lose strength. I just need to keep up with my eating. I was in no way expecting those divers to be kniving me! Those guys deserve to be eaten! The best part of this was easily the graphics which were just fantastic and gave off a great sense of being in on in the action in this realistic game.

I like how it's so simple and doesn't go for anything that flashy. It's just what it would be like to be a shark that eats people. Everything seems to have so much depth in this, no pun intended. You should never have a title that isn't capitialized. It's a sign a lot of people take that your game or flash isn't going to be good, but we've learned not to judge on appearances!

[Creepy crypt escape]

Not the best or worst

This was a fairly mediocre point and click adventure. It doesn't help that I'm not a fan of these kinds of games in the first place. I think the best thing about this is probably how it was simple for me at first. Here is how far I got. Go to the part with the bookcase and click on the skull on the left. This will cause a snake to go the screen on the left where you can click on the snake who is now underground. He has a key.

Go back to the entrance and click on the brick that's to the left of the entrance. There should be a gold box in there, which you can use the key on. It gives you a gold diamond. The artwork is decent, but it could use more detail. I'm glad you created a game where I was actually able to progress more than most of these games I play.

[head shooter]

Good and gory

What I liked about this was that there were just so many ways to shoot up your enemy! It really helps that the blood and innards and everything else are well detailed. My main problem is that the graphics aren't that good. It looks like something from a longer time ago. I still have to appreciate it for having a really simple premise and allowing you to do what most gamers want to do. I like how each of the shootings seems to have its own stages.

The title could be better, but it does describe it well. I hope you can learn to put a background up as a blank one is rarely a good idea. There could have also been some music as the only sounds were the gunshots. Even if people don't like the music, just put in a feature that mutes it. Overall, this was an okay game to play.
