Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Defense 1942]

6,000th review!

This was a very nice game and I am so glad that I managed to unearth it. The graphics in this are just flawless. You get a really good angle of perspective with how the enemies are coming towards you and a lot of money to start off with. Don't let yourself get cocky, because these enemies become stronger as they change in appearance. I think my favorite are the ones that look like blue cyborgs or something.

There is so much detail put into everything. I love how you get a good outlook of the level before you start playing it. The artwork looks as good as any sidescrolling game for a professional system of today. It is always great to teach a history lesson as well as showing off a really fun game. The graphics just show them sticking out so well.

[Pogo Swing!]

You guys did it again!

I have absolutely no idea when you guys sleep, but it can't be at long intervals! This was great because it took the classic idea of swinging on a swingset combined with classic fantasy! I hope you guys continue to make such awesome games. It's so amazing to just go on and on with this game as long as you want to! Everything is done in such a perfect manner that you want to progress. The best part of all has got to be the kites.

Speaking of childhood memory, I don't know if I ever did fly a kite. It's great that you do not try to be too gory or anything, not that it really matters. You just try to appeal to the inner child in us all. Hey, it's that kid who played games like this in the first place! You have to quickly learn it's best to push the space button when you're at the lowest on the swing.

[The Lance!]

Very different kind of game

I have to give you credit for coming up with something that is quite creative. I knew the artwork seemed familiar, particulary with how Jimp worked on it. The sounds and everything else are incredibly authentic in this game. It's great how you work slowly to get to your goal of taking away your enemy's power. I can have quite a bit of fun just clicking the same thing over and over! It's great to get a good sense of the big picture.

This has to be the first game of its kind where I played by aiming like that. It truly offered a unique experience. It only makes sense that some of the best artists and producers would come together for a project like this. It's so worth it to see the enemy just flying around helplessly. The way you have such an aggressive "face" is cool too.

[Crystal Story]

That's something

I can understand why this has become so popular. I guess that with this and the "Epic Battle Fantasy" series, I can consider myself an RPG fan. I never realized until now just how fun this can be! The game itself is extremely addictive, owing to the fact that there is always something around the corner that's new. You might also want to make it a bit easier, because it did get pretty frustrating after awhile. Of course, being a person who isn't that interested in RPGs, I would probably think that.

The animation is spectacular, particularly with how everything is so well designed. The characters all have these cute little triumphant poses when they win. With so many medals, you are bound to get at least one. This game looks like it could take days to complete. Any diehard RPG fan should love this and most other fans here. The music was also nice and sent a good mystic feel to it all.

[Defend Your Inglor]

Decent game

It's weird how I have never even heard of Inglor before the creation of Inglor Day. This was a good game but it's main fault was that it was a bit too easy. It seems like you were kind of just shooting the same enemies over and over. At least it wasn't hard, because you really had the advantage over these guys. It was also cool how there was such a wide space for you to look for any attackers. Not one of the best defense games out there, but still nicely done.

The best weapon is easily the one that allows you to shoot at random places. It doesn't do that much, but it's pretty cool to use. The graphics are good, especially with that CGI representation you see of your character. Everything has a pretty elegant appearance to it, if not the most elaborate. It's one of the weirdest names I've seen in a defense game!

[CycloManiacs2]

Very cool!

This is a very interesting game because you really have no idea where to start. You simply start wherever you can on the title screen. I am glad to know that fish eating game does eventually end. If only the racing games in the actual park weren't so hard! The animation/graphics were really done well and everything had a very cartoonish feel to it. I just think the idea of a theme park called "Ninja World" is cool.

Why is Elvis doing the power supply in this game? I don't know, but it's pretty cool and funny and that's all you need in a game like this. It's the kind of game where you can really go and figure it out for yourself as the game progresses. The voicework is good and pretty funny too. Every character just seems so full of energy here.

[Stickshot 2]

Nicely paced!

Wow, I must be fortunate enough to see that this has a score of 3.70 while it was 370 views! It's another great game from mofunzone. I was thinking it would be a bit too complicated to understand with its instructions, but it definitley got easier. You just had to look for the stick figures that were outlined in red. You would be surprised at how far you can go when you zoom in the whole time. Maybe I'm just good at looking.

It's nice how there's such a wide area for you to explore. Granted, you're still confined to one spot, but it still gives off a sense of mobility. Even the cutscenes at the beginning are incredibly well done! The sounds are extremely authentic too. I do not remember the first one, but this is really good for a sequel.

[Nyan Cat Fever]

Very adorable!

It's a pity that this has such a low score, but hopefully that will change, giving it the score it deserves. This is as great as any other Nyan Cat tribute. It seems like you only get a medal every other time you upgrade. The last medal is easily the hardest because everything comes at you at once. It's cute to see these barnyard animals flying around in space for Nyan Cat's enemies. It's of course fantastic to hear that unforgettable neverending song.

I love how gracefully Nyan Cat flies across the screen. It gets its hardest when the animals start to become literally attracted to you. The level with the cows wasn't that hard because they didn't move and mostly didn't go to the bottom of the screen. Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all night. He does look funny with poop coming out of his bottom.

actually this game got rating more than 3,6, but after 4 days uploaded there are 1000+ downvoter for this game

[Roto Rate]

He did approve them!

This was a pretty interesting game because it had a very simple design to it. My biggest complaint is that it is annoying with how you have to move around so much to see the approaching meteors. At least the graphics are nice. I especially admire the music, which truly gives you a sense of being in a space adventure. Everything just sounds so ambitious in this especially with how the weapons fire. It's interesting how something so simple seeming can be fairly hard.

I suggest most people just go all around the planet to look for oncoming meteors. Be sure to immediately destroy them as soon as they come in sight. The way the planet becomes smaller might actually help you. It allows you to get a better look at what's coming on the other side of the planet. The controls work well, too.

Hi Ericho, thanks for your feedback!

[Clock Duels]

One of your best

While it has yet to get any medals with points, it's still very fun to play. It wasn't until I got to Jesus that I had any trouble, because he didn't have a clock face to shoot. I thought everything was pretty well detailed with how the bullets entered the clocks' bodies. The voice and gameplay are just as good as ever. It could use some work with shading, but still a very enjoyable game. It helps that there are simply so many clock characters you can never run out of them.

Congradulations on having the most viewed submission for Clock Day 2011! It was also nice to include references to your previous games. It kind of makes you wonder how clocks can hold guns when they apparently have no arms. Maybe it's like Homestar Runner. It's fun to watch the bullets fly around the screen until hitting their target.
