Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kingdom in the Clouds]

Nice little game

I find it interesting how this is just so playful. Probably the thing that weighs it down is that I do wish you could have more of a sense of adventure to the game. You appear to be on the same screen the whole time. Then again, at least it's not something I have to really think about. There's nothing more satisfying than getting a secret medal without even trying! No, I am of course not going to tell anyone how I got it.

Everything is so simple in this game, but so enjoyable. It just has a cute feeling to it, especially when the enemies are little clouds. Maybe this will be a lesson in child rearing. I like the notion of everything being presented in a clear cut manner. I will admit that it can be hard to understand how to play the game at times. At least you are strong and agile.

[Toys Vs Nightmares]

Take that, nightmares!

This is a very cool game because it's something that nearly everyone can associate themselves with. Even if we're adults, we can still have night worries. It is the time where we seem most vulnerable to everything. Hopefully, I will get a better sleep tonight than I did last night too. The music is very well done and gives off a very good sense of anticipation and fear. We have to use our childhood dreams to fight our childhood fears!

The graphics in this are incredibly well done. I like how just every part of these monsters seems to be sticking out everywhere. The body parts are so well exaggerated as they just walk and even worry. I don't think I was ever scared of monsters in the closet. I think it was more I was glad that I would go crazy and hallucinate those things.

[K.O.L.M. 2]

You've done it again

It's amazing to see you guys come together yet again to create a wonderful and magical world for the player to interact with. This is among the best designed things I have ever come across in all of my playing games here. The game itself looks like it exists seperately on some other plane with how it's presented. It just shows the real effort and creativity to make this. I don't even know what's going on, I just know that it's done very well.

It's fantastic to see this character fly and jump around, not sure of what is in his environment. You even manage to journey into yourself with this. The music, as expected, is fantastic and gives you a sense of being in a strange land. The light hurts you, but you manage to find ways to cover it up. Even the enemies appear to be helping you with blotting out the light. Thank you for giving me a great trip into my own psyche.

[Scuba]

One of the best games ever

This game was fantastic to play because there was an amazing amount of fun put into it. You guys really went out of your way to create your own universe for the player to interact with. It reminded me of Minecraft, obviously. That game's so popular, it's not hard to tell how it inspires so many things. I was also reminded of Cuboy with how everything seemed cube-shaped. The graphics were fantastic, especially the protagonist. His bubbly design contrasted well with the environment.

The music is also great and gives off a good sense of being in a new environment. The funny thing is that I actually have little idea how to even play this game! I just had so much fun exploring. This is the kind of thing we want to go out and do in the world, just explore whatever it is we have access to and use the resources to our benefit. Thank you for opening up a world of wonder for us.

[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.
