Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[mud and blood 2]

Wonderfully elaborate!

This is a decent game because you can tell a lot of effort was put into it. The coolest thing was how there were so many weapons and options to choose from. It may in fact have more of those kinds of options than any other war game I have played here! The sounds are wonderful too. Where you really lost points, however, was that the graphics needed improvement. It seemed like they were hastily made and not very detailed.

While the gameplay is good, you should put some better design into it. It just seems to be a lot older than 2008. I'm surprised at how complicated it is, again, with all your options. You definitley get points with the ways your troops can fight and everything. People who are really fans of war games should have more fun with this than I did.

[I Wanna Win!]

Great!

I have no clue why this did not win Daily Feature, as it is simply a fantastic submission! It's amazing how much variety you can put into the same objective. At first, I thought it would be more than just clicking, but it doesn't have to be. It must have taken forever to think of all the different things to do in this game. The hardest one is easily #18. As usual, it is great to include a walkthrough because everyone will inevitably get to a level he or she can not advance.

The music is really cute and gives off an old-timey feel. I do wanna win, not because of the title, but because of how awesome this game is. You had to do so much experimenting with yourself. I think this should be in "Puzzle" instead of "Action". It's amazing how a game with such a simplistic design could be so fun.

Interesting stuff

This is a decent game because it's always interesting to look at trivia for me. Hey, what else can you say for a lifelong nerd? Anyway, I noticed an error or two in the questions. Big Ben is not the name of the clock, but rather the name of the bell in the clock tower. Of course, I guess in the most generic sense, you could simply call it that too. The animation could have been better, the female didn't look female at all.

I was thinking this would be more like a Sim game given the mentioning of making a business. The style with the colors and everything was pretty well done too. You might want to make it a bit more elaborate with better graphics. I have always been interested in learning about individual countries. At least the reviewers had fun with this.

[How to make a review]

Review of a review

This was pretty good information and it did make me think. It's just that as a submission, it was lacking in several points. I think there should always be a background and not just white space. It would have also been nice if you put some music in it. While it's great that you are trying to help people, you do need detail. Gee, it seems like I always review things in the 9-10/10 range. Being one of the most prolific reviewers, I should know this better.

What I try to do in my reviews is simply express what I think. It is important that we point out the flaws while praising the good points. Slander can never work out for anybody. Albert Einstein looked pretty funny in this. Thank you for reaching out to the reviewing community to try to see the most important things for us to work on.

Thanks for the review, I know it could have been way way better, but I'm happy a lot of people appreciated and told me how to make it better, and i hope some people will learn something from this :)

Thanks a lot man !!

[Blue Moon Mini Game]

Oh, one of those

It was weird how a game featuring tanks was going to be a puzzle one. I'm no good at these kinds of riddles. The first one reminds me of that old one about the people at the bridge and one of them leads to the right path. I think the answer to this riddle is actually that both of the people are liars and you shouldn't go either way. I doubt it works like this, so congrats on you for making it hard. It's great to see such fine detail put into the game.

The moon itself isn't really blue, it's just the sky around it. Well, that's probably where you get the common phrase from. For those of you who are good at solving things, this is the game for you as it's going to take some time to figure out. Thank you for the walkthrough, which is always good. The music is also decent because it gives off a fine sense of wonder.

So interesting

The main character kind of looks like the protagonist from the Mega Man X games. It's really cool to see how these characters literally come together. The best part is that most of the stuff on either side is similar, so you aren't taking too many risks with jumps. The music was great as well, it's an original technological beat to it. It was hard to tell if something was a bunch of spikes or just grass hanging out. Gravity games like this are always fun to play.

It was also good how your character had such great mobility. You rarely see a puzzle game that's combined so well with a platformer. It gives you the experience of an adventure but also lets your brain work. Most of the time I don't even notice what's happening with the person I am not paying attention to. Everything's fine until I get to Level 4.

[Wrath]

Feel my wrath!

This is cool to play because you have absolute control over everything and you can't lose! Now, the later games are better as they have more variety. Still, this is a decent time-waster because the same thing just keeps happening over and over. I'm actually surprised at how well the background has stood the test of time. The things that are most fun to kill are the cows. I don't even know how they die, they seem to split apart with the lightning, but are held together by their blood.

This would also be more enjoyable if it had sound in it. You were getting started on a fairly long running game series, and you don't see that many of those here on Newgrounds. These people look so stupid and useless, they probably deserve it. At least God was nice enough to give us a nice day to die. You can really get good variety with the angles.

[Wasted Youth, Part 1]

How elaborate

It's always great when people try to make something unique in their games. This was cool because the designs were great. I had no idea that this was the same set of people who made those Easter Bunny shooting games. Anyway, this was fun to play because there was so much detail in everything. I loved how the cursor just floating around so much. It helps that it's easy to get medals with all the missions. It's a good take on being the new kid at school.

It's a great idea because it's something a lot of us can associate with. It makes me realize the kind of niches that I fit in back in those days. I was probably one of the geeks, or maybe the class clown. For a school, this is really a big place for you to go and explore. There's so many interesting things going on and so many ways to proceed.

[Story of the Blanks]

What the...?

Well, it's hard to say what I think of this, because I didn't understand it. There must be some glitch because I kept trying to go ahead with the trees and nothing happened. Twlight Sparkle just stood there. It kind of reminds me of the old CreepyPasta stories, which the main website is sadly down for the moment. The graphics were pretty good, it's just that it took too long to get scary. I knew I had to play a popular "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" game here.

There were thousands of references on the Internet, it had to show up here eventually. While incomprehensible, better players should have more fun with it. The sprites could have been a little better too. It was a bit too talky, but at least you had great mobility with it. I thought it would be about you actually filling in the blanks in the story.
