Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bob's Busy Boxing Biz]

Nice game

While there isn't much to be said in terms of gameplay, this was still a decent game. It was wierd because the medals said that it came from a game called "NGStore". I think this might be the first time I noticed that something was under the "Job" genre. As if I didn't get enough of that in real life. Cynicism aside, this was nice because the graphics were fantastic and the sounds were so realistic. There was just so much room to go around and explore.

It's also good how everything is presented in a fairly clearcut manner. The directions could use some improvement, but definitley worth checking out. Another thing that weighed this down was that there weren't any hot chicks in this. I swear you guys can draw animated women sexier than anyone else! Just pay attention to the instructions.

It is hard over Level 3

The honesty in the author comments is the only thing I found good about this. The reason that it doesn't work for me is that the graphics are just done in such a cheap manner and so is the gameplay. It was so unbearably easy, it did catch me off guard on Level 4. First of all, there is no background. Second, the design of the main character is not at all well detailed as he has no shading and even his body proportions are out of whack. Thirdly, I don't understand why you made the controls like that.

You start out with moving in the wrong direction with your gun. This character can also jump, although there's no reason for him to do that. It doesn't seem to ever come in handy. The zombies all look the same and it seems to be a pretty poor animation effect with how they were even put into the game. I thought you were supposed to hit the "D" button as described in the author comments.

Missiles everywhere!

It's always nice to unearth truly great games! What made this game so good was how the graphics were just fantastic, especially with how everything contrasted with itself. The defending ships seemed to have a more old school design to them. The "enemies" and the way they exploded seemed a lot more technological. I have no clue what's up with those tie fighters, but they are also a unique and well-made addition.

At first I was afraid this might be too simple, but it's still addictive. The coolest thing was probably seeing the sparks fly as the arrows were blown apart. The sounds and everything else was authentic too. I just find it cool how all the defending ships move when you move your mouse, but still only one of them fires at the target. I can now assume "P" will usually make the game pause.

Surprisingly great game!

I have to have played games with a similiar gameplay before, but this was one of the best. There were some problems I had with setting my attacks but it worked out well in the long run. The graphics in this are really impressive, particularly with how well the enemies are designed. I'm not one for training, but this got me pumped up! The sound effects are flawless too and sound quite realistic. It was weird to see the ads promoting your website in the side of the screen.

The monsters themselves were uniquely designed too. It isn't as easy as it seems, and it might even be considered more of a fighting game than an RPG. I knew I had seen works that were similar to this given how your website is advertised. The music and everything else is done nicely too. The gameplay isn't too hard or easy to understand and use.

[Symphonic Tower Defense]

Great music game!

This was a really cool game because the graphics were just fantastic! Judging from the theme, I thought it would be a game where I would have to make the notes like in "Guitar Hero". I am glad it was not, as tower games are a lot more fun anyway. It was amazing how everything just exploded in such an awesome manner. I do feel that you could have put a button to make things go faster. It just seems like the game takes a bit too long to get interesting.

Still, this is awesome because of how well everything is presented. The use of colors is especially fantastic. I didn't even pay that much attention to the music as I was getting into the game. I love how everything is so flashy and there are so many things going on that it's hard to get bored. The abundance of medals is cool too.

Sweet game!

Probably the best game I have played in awhile because it was so much fun! It did get worse as you lost your weapons. To think, at first I thought you didn't lose your weapons as you died, but I was wrong. Another cool thing was how the graphics were so simplistic, but it was still very hard! It made sense that you got a medal simply for completing each level. The graphics reminded me of some of the games made by poxpower.

Obviously, you are good in your own right. Another neat thing was how the enemies all had fairly unique designs. They came out in some of the weirdest and funniest shapes I could imagine for a game like this. I have little doubt such a cool game will pass judgement. With all those enemies coming at you, the bosses are actually the easiest of all!

RatherRandomReality responds:

I'm quite happy how all those enemies turned out considering that that's my first project in which I use pixelated graphics. Thank you for playing!

[Pixle!]

Spelled wrong

I find this to be a pretty good game. It mostly works because it gives the player a very wide environment to roam around and do whatever they want. The weird thing is that you are slow and fast in some areas. When there are things that can hit you, you are not fast enough to dodge them, even though you normally would be fast enough to move to the other space. I guess that might be cheating, but it is put up in the game itself. The music was fairly good.

Puzzle games can be enjoyable and this has shown that. It did seem a bit weird to have those different green and brown objects blocking things. I don't really see the point in making them different colors. It could be a bit more elaborate with the design. It's still overall nicely done and something that I would recommend.

[MLP: Friendship is Pain]

Huh?

This didn't work out well for me because it seemed to have so little in value. It kind of makes me realize why we don't have assassin games like that anymore. Now, I am in fact a fan of "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" and it's not that this was cruel, it was just unentertaining. I did like hearing that Ren and Stimpy music. That goes well with any deranged animation. I thought "2 and a Half Ponies" was going to be a joke about "2 girls 1 cup".

Wait, there weren't two and a half ponies, only two halves of a pony! The animation wasn't the worst, but certainly needs improvement. I'm surprised more people didn't vote this lower because the series is so popular. It'll probably become just like pokemon. Well, it pretty much already is just like pokemon.

[Bubble Popper 3D]

Not bad

This wasn't a great submission, but it didn't need to be, because it was fun in itself. The best part was how it was just so simple. I thought maybe you would lose health as you went on, but you did not. The problem is that it is in fact a bit too easy. Still, with all the hard games that are going around nowadays, I can't mock you too much for it. The music is very good and it gives off a good cheery feel with the piano.

Everything is presented in a very clear manner, but maybe a bit too clear. It just seems like you could have done more with this, but it could have been a lot worse. The backgrounds and graphics are just fine. It's just that there are so many other games that are done a lot better. At least there wasn't any malice or ill will made in this.

[Cuboy: Hot Pants]

Awesome

It has been awhile since a new "Cuboy" game was made, but it was well worth it. I had no idea you were going to make a game as crazy as this. It was really fun to just go down as fast as you could. At that point, I didn't even care about being burned alive, I just wanted to watch Cuboy jump down. I didn't even know how to get the medals but I got a couple anyway, which is always nice. The graphics are as good as ever.

The funniest part was when Cuboy mocked the player saying he wanted the player to suffer and melt like that. You would think more fourth wall breaking video game characters would do that. I have no clue what the bear costume does, but it's cool. I am still not sure how to avoid being burned when all the blocks are burned. The music is great and exciting.
