Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fire Starter]

That was random

This was a rather odd game because I didn't understand what was going on. I thought the instructions said to press the space button for a long time, but it didn't seem to work. I then had to just press the space button numerous times. From there, I was still lost, because this games just moves so fast. Of course, I still have to give you credit for creating an extremely fast paced game! The graphics are fantastic, particularly with how the guy jumps around while dying from being burnt alive.

The guy's scream is also hilarious because he's so helpless. I would recommend this to people who have a lot more time to sit down and play with this. I thought the game's object was going to be to start a fire, given the title. The music is arranged pretty well too. This is one hectic game and recommended to those who like hectic games!

[Continuity]

Quite an original idea!

I like this game because it seems to really create a world for itself. I was on the fourth level I think and am not able to advance to the next screen for some reason. It's a lot more complicated than you make it out to be at first. I like how you have a lot of control over what you can do with your guy making him freeze everywhere. The music is also nice and gives off a good sense of tension. You really know how to pace yourself with this.

It's great to see how well the stick figure just moves along. You have to give credit for something good that fits into three different game genres! It's probably more of a puzzle game than anything else. You have to be pretty fancy with the right order you put the screens in and how. It's one of the few games I've played that even had multiple screens.

[Kick the Block]

Good as most other games like it

It's interesting to see the different designs of levels you put in. It's not something to be taken that lightly, as it can overtake you. I don't quite understand the title, because most of the time it's not about kicking. I have played many games like this, but this is still enjoyable because you put personality in the shapes. They seem to be giggling and chuckling so much all the time. This makes it more satisfying when you throw them off the screen.

There could have been some better graphics used. The shapes all seemed to be a solid color and there didn't seem to be a lot of shadings. It was still nice how you put in a pretty good background. You'd have no idea how many different ways you can slice up a block of wood, or whatever those things are. It's a fairly fun game.

[Flaming Bag of Poo]

Not bad

Well, here's the only non Happy Tree Friends submission released to this website under the MondoMiniShows name. It's interesting to see how different it is in style. Of course, I know that these are not all made by the same guy. It's funny just to see a screaming bag of poo run around. I don't understand how poo is so flammable when I heard it's mostly water. Well, maybe it's a kind that's just really dried out.

It has no point, as you can just keep on stomping until you smash the bag of poo. I am glad to have reviewed this in October. I like how there's candied corn in the bag of poo when it explodes. It would just be gauche to show actual regular corn in the poo. That makes me wonder, does candy corn show up in poo too?

[Pencak Silat 2.1]

Nicely detailed game!

I was really impressed with this because the graphics/effects really hold up to today. It really helps that you can just so easily beat people up. The designs are somewhat strange, with how the characters don't even seem to have faces. It's still good because when you press the space button you can basically win any random way you press it! Of course, that also makes it hard when your opponent seems to have the same strengths. I like how the background has a different design.

It seems like you really went out of your way to create a unique world of your own. I can understand how some people might not even understand this. If you get used to the gameplay, you should have fun with it. It's weird to see my name show up in the story's dialogue. Gee, it must have been awhile since I've seen that.

[Necronomicon BoDN]

Very interesting!

I'm not a fan of card games, and even now I still don't fully know how to play even this game. What I have to give you credit for is creating such an interesting game to work with. There are so many aspects of this game, you find a new one every time you play! I really like the character designs. It reminds me of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", simply because it's the most popular game in this genre I have heard of. It's great how the effects just seem to jump at you on the screen.

It's also nice to see how the designs are quite different. It's amazing how each card manages to have a specific design, as well as function. While I'm not a fan of card games like this, I have admired all the effort put into their designs. It's cool how it takes place on some strange astral plane. I'm not even sure what "astral" means, but have heard it used before.

[Binding of Isaac DEMO]

One of yoru best!

This is a great game, but the weirdest thing is that I get medals even though they don't show up on the author's comments. The music is great and it creates a wonderful atmosphere. I especially like the notion that this little kid is so pathetic. I didn't know the Biblical story of Isaac took place in modern times. Of course, I'm looking too deep into something that should just be pure fun. I got used to the controls pretty easily. I just love how this character has so much mobility to go everywhere.

Everytime you die, you seem to get a different set of levels to go to. It's great how everything is truly unpredictable. I have played a lot of your games before, but none that I was willing to give a 10/10 to! Call me a fan of yours from now on. The enemies are designed wonderfully as well, especially the boss that keeps turning into tinier versions of itself. Even the way the medals flash on screen is cool!

[Metal Slug S]

Holds up fine

I guess my main beef with this game is that it is in fact pretty hard to use the controls. I just wish they were customizable. I still had fun with this because it gives you a good sense of going out and exploring your world. Everything is rather straightfoward in this game, just kill everything in sight. My favorite weapon is easily the laser and not just because it's the most effective I've had so far. It's because it's also the coolest looking.

There could have been some background music but it was still pretty good with the sounds. I also like how the grenades plop around before killing an opponent. The guys who shoot with their miniguns are easily the most obnoxious. It's nice how a game keeps its style like this. There could have been more detail, but still a nice play.

[Color Painter]

Quite a unique game!

What's the most interesting is that I can really beat some levels just by sheer luck. It's still fun to go around and just spray everywhere you can. Either I have more paint than I think I do, or I'm just good at saving it. I also love the music, which gives you the sense of being in a strange land. It's always interesting to find unique ways of exploring your environment. While there wasn't much in terms of graphics, what was there was well animated.

It's amazing never knowing what you're getting yourself into. I don't even know what is supposed to mark the point that I would finish a level! My mom paints for fun, and I think this really was made for someone who paints. It's about how we tell our own story by taking note of our environment. It should please any art fan.

[Stuffcraft]

Not bad again

There have been too many games of this kind to remember, but they are still not old. It's interesting to see such good graphics and designs. It's hard to find that many games that are that original given the sheer number of times they have done. It seems like you are off to a good start in becoming popular. The sound effects are nice and I especially like the sound it makes when you switch everything around. It could have been more detailed, but still good.

This has a bit of a weird name, like it is trying to sound like "Starcraft". The atmosphere was obviously more medievial. Whatever the intention was, it's a pretty good game to just spend some time with. There's a good sense you were trying to create just a fun little game with this. I have high hopes it will pass judgement.
