Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alight (in dreams)]

Very interesting!

Probably the least enjoyable thing about this was how hard it was to get a single medal. Oh well, this certainly had great graphics and detail to spare. The coolest thing was learning how to limit yourself with the wings you had. You had to stop yourself from becoming arrogant, or else you would run out of power. The best thing to do is to really look everywhere to see your environment. You would be surprised at how useful that Shift key can be.

It was weird how the perspective and sizes seemed to change. This kind of touched me on a spiritual level. You would never think those crows would be strong enough to kill you. Everything just moves in such a smooth manner and it makes you wonder what is supposed to be a dream and what is real in this game. The darkness makes a good nightmare.

[Bruce Lee: Tower of Death]

Graphics aren't the worst

I guess the main reason I didn't find this that enjoyable was because the guards were just too difficult to kill! The most fun I had was at the beginning where I was able to punch the old guy over and over. The graphics are actually pretty impressive for the era. I guess I was just expecting people to be easier to kill as you are Bruce Lee of course. I was hoping for more of a game where enemies were beaten in one hit and it was more of a journey.

I didn't find it to be an action game at all, and it was way more of a fighting game. At least you had more than one oppurtunity to beat the same guy with the same level of health lowered. The sound was alright. It was certainly a tower of death because I seemed to die as frequently (if not more) that the guards did. Again, it could be easier.

[Superfighter]

Playable

While not that impressive by modern standards, this is still a good game. The one thing that pulled it down was that it was a bit too simple at first. I think it would have been a good idea to have customizable controls, but these are certainly unique. The coolest thing was the graphics. It was just so authentic looking and it seemed just like the kind of thing you would see on a professional system! The characters all have unique designs too.

The gameplay is still decent, as there seem to be a good variety of attacks you can use. It's nice that they actually vary from character to character. Hey, I think Superfighters ripped off your name! How convienient that I reviewed this right after discovering that new submission. The music is alright, it could use more variety, but not bad.

[united we dance]

Not much to it

Probably the main flaw with this game is that there isn't much going on. It's always funny to make fun of dumb pop culture icons. Bush and Spears are about as dumb as they get, especially with how they are presented in such a silly manner. The disco lights were an interesting effect. There just need to be more things going on and a bit more of a point. It seemed like you might have been intending to make satire, but it didn't go anywhere.

Everything is presented in such a cheesy manner, but that was probably a point. I guess this might fall under something being so bad it's good. It was nice to include that little button where you could donate to children. It's a bit small, so you have to look for it in the left hand corner. I like how the dance moves were not the same for both people.

[Crush the Castle 2 PP]

Some castle

I probably didn't like this as much as a lot of other people because of how hard it is. Here's a tip: if you know a certain spot that at least gets in one good point, do not change where your mouse is. Of course, it's a matter of timing so click it when the rope touches it. The Wilhelm scream simply never gets old. The graphics are very nicely detailed, which is always a good factor when a game is so hard. It can get embrassing with having to get so many shots.

At least it's cool how the logs still cause damage by falling. You would be surprised at how hopeful that can be. There isn't that much to set it apart from the other games, other than that it is harder. I guess I had to be a much bigger fan to get really good at it. At least you have a ton of oppurtinites to get the dang thing right.

[Dire Haven]

Crazy and awesome!

This was so sweet because you had no idea what was going to happen next. The weirdest thing was at the beginning where I didn't know where to go. In fact, I don't even think I even now know how I got out of that scenario. Anyway, the graphics in this are good and it's great how everything moves so smoothly. I can say it's the first game in awhile I've played where everyone was naked. It kind of makes you have pride in your nudity.

There were just so many things lurking around everywhere out to kill you. You had to really know how to manuever things and luckily, I'm good with games. It may be the first time I ever noticed a genre being "Hop and Bop". It sounds like a Dr. Seuss book. I don't think the different characters had different skills, but it's still cool to see them switch.

[Gap Monsters]

Very elaborate!

I have just been playing great game after great game today! The most awesome thing about this was that it really did seem like one of the most original things I had come across with on this website in awhile. It was sweet to hear that monster scream out loud when it was being taken to the square. The animation, for some reason, reminds me of Dr. Tran. It's times like these that make me wish a series like that was on this website.

It was great that so many people manage to come up with custom made levels. The music is also extremely glorious and gives off a good sense of adventure. It sounds a lot like it was remixed from some "Legend Of Zelda" game. We will always need puzzle games like this to learn to truly concentrate on our games. You come up with the best stuff, nutcasenightmare!

Nutcasenightmare responds:

You're right, I just realized that the screaming mouth looks like that of a certain true American legend, who killed his own mother with a broken lawn chair!

Thank you for the review! Puzzle on, fellow monster.

[Superfighters]

One of the best!

This is the most fantastic game that I have played online in a long time! At first I thought it was going to be more of a level like game but it was mostly one on one. I prefer to use hand to hand combat because I can never get any good range in with my gun. The good thing is that it works just as well. I love how the detail in this game is so splendid with everything looking like an authentic arcade game. How cruel of you to put a single medal that is 100 pts!

Yet, how awesome of how to make this game. When I saw the initials "SF" I thought it was a reference to "Street Fighter". This is more like the River City Ransom game if nothing else. The sounds are all great and authentic and I love the slo-mo that shows the characters dying. It's great to see the variety of games you have made. A pity I keep forgetting what controls do what, but that can be improved.

[Pixel Hop 2]

So beautiful!

This was one awesome game because the graphics were fantastic. It's an extremely enjoyable puzzle game, probably due to the fact that it's also a platformer one. You really had to use your brain to figure this one out. The only complaint I have is that there should be some checkpoints. At least that works well in motivating you to keep on playing! I loved the cute little sounds that were everywhere.

The artwork kind of reminded me of the Mr. Men series. Everything was just detailed in a magnificent manner especially with how clear the buttons were. There's so many different operations to these things, you have to keep up. The music also gave off a good sense of wonder. It makes me wonder what crazy place I'm supposed to be in.

[The Unbeatable Path]

Hard, but good

This was a fairly interesting game to play because it had a nice appeal to it. At first, it seemed so easy but there were so many things going on you had to take note of. The worst thing was probably the timer. I don't know why, but I have never been good at these games where you move at that angle with the arrow keys. I keep getting everything mixed up. I could swear that some of these keys actually change their function after awhile.

It's nice how you are trying to get medal points, not that I would ever get them. The best thing about this was probably the music. It just gave off a really good mysterious feeling especially with the explanation at the beginning. For a square with not that many pixels, I thought the main character was pretty good. Auto-saves are always a plus.

The changing of the controls was a gameplay element to make it more difficult, the keys are supposed to move you in random directions which change when the timer runs out. Thanks for playing, good to hear you thought it was interesting anyway.
