Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thelemite]

This is WILD!

This is easily the best game I have played all day! The weird thing is that I really have no idea how to defeat that giant guy at the end! I swear that I hit him over SEVEN HUNDRED TIMES and he wouldn't die!! I'm just glad that I was at least able to get so many hits in. Everything is incredibly well detailed in this, with every victim being so colorful. It's just great to see these guys smashing each other to pieces and I kill more civilians than I do enemies!

You can just go on forever with this game pressing the "X" button over and over to kill everything in sight. In fact, that's basically all that I did while playing this! It's also great to see those funny kung-fu sounds you make whenever you attack! The music is flawless and gives off a great sense of adventure and destruction! I have little idea how long this goes on, but it's awesome! You have made one of the best games ever!

Very cool game!

What makes this game interesting is this good the graphics are. There might not be that much detail, but there are definitley a lot of crazy obstacles in your way. I think the craziest would have to be those floating spike things. There aren't many enemies that you can technically kill. The main rule in this game is pretty much to not touch anything at all that's dangerous. The music was great and it gave off a really good punk rock feeling.

It might be a little too loud, but still enjoyable to listen to. It could have been a bit more detailed, but it's still a very nicely done game. The best power is easily the super jump, because you get to cover so much air with it. It's interesting how every single block with a different design has a specific way of screwing you over. It's a great adventure from start to finish.

[THE DAWN]

Usually good

This was a good game, but its main problem was that it was rather incomprehensible. You have to touch the branch on the other half to get over the man (or should I say bunny) eating plant. It's amazing how I didn't figure that out at first. The music is great and it's interesting to see this world you created for yourself. It is weird how this game just seems to go on forever. The darkness makes it a little hard to see, too.

Of course, its dark appeal is what the game is supposed to be like. The graphics are certainly decent and it gives you a good sense of adventure. There are interesting things to see even though they make no sense to me. I somehow got a medal with 0 points. If you're a fan of surreal games, then check this out!

NightDead responds:

Thank you very much for the comments and suggestions.

Sorry about the medal, "The past always come back" ... is a medal test and was supposed to be secret, not even a real medal so it is not supposed to be discovered, HOWEVER I congratulate you find it.

regards

*sorry for my bad english

[Sonic Boom Cannon]

555 before me!

This was a good game, but it could use work in some areas. The music was fantastic, especially the "Sonic Boom" stuff which simply never gets old. It also seemed to be pretty authentic to the Sonic games. I do wish that there could have been more control over your character. The menu is a bit difficult to understand, but still good. The obstacles seemed to be just like stuff you would encounter in "Sonic The Hedgehog" games.

The sprite work is well detailed, particularly with how the backgrounds are all unique. It can get confusing when using the arrow keys to control the cannon. When I saw the title, I seriously didn't think it was going to be taken literally! Well, I guess it depends on how you define "literally" in that sense. I also like how everything is presented in a fairly clearcut manner.

[Hyperspace War]

The good and the bad

The good - The graphics aren't that bad and it does seem like you're putting a lot of space. The designs of the enemies are pretty creative. It's often a good idea to have a mute button for things. You can learn through training the right way to aim those blasters because they're not straight (more on that later). Congradulations on getting such a high score with something with few views.

The bad - You do need to work with shading because some of the colors look a tad off. It looks a bit dated given modern Flash standards. The controls seemed to not work that well because I couldn't tell half the time where my blasts were going to go. There could be more detail in the background too.

[Fear Is Vigilance]

She's a ninja!

This didn't seem that interesting at first because it was just you getting rejected over and over. It got a lot more interesting when we got to the parts where you beat people up. At least it's more ethical than a lot of other games where you beat people up. The sound effects are good too. There's nothing more satisfying than getting medals than getting medals without even trying. You could have maybe done a bit better with the pixellation.

Another problem is that it does get pretty repetitive after awhile. It's still funny to see your character in the funny ninja costume. It's also fun to literally knock some sense into morons for not being safe! It's rare that a vigilante works like this. I like how you have a lot of mobility and your opponents don't die or at least I hope they don't.

[Space Punk Racer]

Very cool!

I am surprised that this does not have a higher rating. The graphics in this were very well done. You (Jimp) always make the best graphics and it was great to see a racing game taken from this perspective. While it still wasn't CGI, it certainly wasn't a side scrolling game either. Well, I guess it's impossible to make a side scrolling racing game, but the angle is wonderful. At first I was confused as to what those yellow enemies are.

I thought maybe they were competitors, but apparently they're civilians. It's great how this takes place in such an amazingly colorful world. There's so much to look at even if it doesn't have the most variety. I also liked this a lot because I was able to get so far on my first try! At least this managed to make front page.

[Delivery Man]

Awesome game!

It's weird how the best game I've found lately is not a Madness one! This is cool because the animation/graphics are downright fantastic! I get the absolute perfect feel of being on the road and shooting people up. It's great to see how each wound expands on one another, until finally they collapse and blow up. I am also glad there is not a boss on every level. There's just an amazing amount of detail put into this.

I notice that whenever you move along the ground, you even release some black dust around you. I was afraid jumping off the bridges would hurt you, but it doesn't. I have estimated it takes about ten shots to take one of these guys down. This game is just coolness personified, especially with how the car moves. Who knew being a delivery man could be so action-packed? The backgrounds are wonderfully designed too.

[Tankmen: Battle 3]

Not a bad game

This was interesting because it seemed like you had a very straightforward game. I am so glad you mentioned to press space to get through the ads. Hey, I don't blame you for having so many. It was also really cool to use things like grenades. I'm glad that I at least managed to get as far as I did, even if it was only to the third enemy. I thought maybe it would be a more traditional adventure game, but it wasn't. My suggestion is that you perhaps put some more attacks in.

I guess I am just used to RPGs having a wider variety of ways to attack at different times. The artwork is very nicely done, particularly with the designs of the enemies. It was also interesting to have a backstory to why this was all going on. I am now getting used to the appearance of the Madness Day 2011 banner. All the characters had pretty unique designs.
