Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[MC2 : Burning Skies]

Very nice

While not as good as some other games you have made, this was still a lot of fun. It's great to see these familiar designs and enemies. The coolest thing about it is probably how fast paced it is. You just have so much fun flying around and shooting these guys over and over. It's awesome how a lot of these are some really big hitters! The colors and effects are as elaborate as ever. While the gameplay is pretty straight through, it's far from easy.

The sounds are authentic too as usual. I never thought it would take so many shots to get rid of one of these planes. There's a great environment for you to wander around and truly let yourself explore and have fun. It's not the kind of game you can get cocky with, as I was surprised how many times I got hit. The shields are a great boost too.

[Football Blitz]

Kind of silly

For a game that was well detailed, this actually had some pretty silly parts to it. The worst offender would be when you could hit the goalies. It was so fun to watch them fall over. Of course, if your ball happened to be on fire you also blew up their bodies, which I have to admit is really cool. The graphics were impressive in this, particularly with the way the ball moved. I did kind of feel that the human faces went over into the Uncanny Valley.

It's still worth playing, because it's fairly simple. Well, I did take the "Easy" way of gameplay. People should enjoy this because it's actually a fairly realistic interpretation of soccer, except for the fire ball parts. I was a bit annoyed with how you were unable to hit more than two onscreen targets at the same time. Well worth playing.

[Iron Mike's Punchout]

Fairly interesting

I think the reason this doesn't have a higher rating is because it doesn't have a lot of thought go into it. Of course, I could have just been playing the game wrong. The funny thing is that I was actually unable to tell which of the guys I was! It's too bad how one defeat apparently ended the game. I do, however, really have to give you credit for having some of the best graphics I have seen for this era! This looks exactly like what you would see on a gaming console!

It was great how you worked so hard to get it to authentic to look like an actual game. I mostly just pressed buttons over and over to fight. I have to give you credit for giving me a good way to exercise my fingers that way! The sound effects are good too and give off the same authentic feeling. It's great how this still holds up to today.

[Baldrop]

Weird title

Judging from the title, I thought this was going to be something about bald people. Anyway, this was really cool because everything was in such a simple manner. It could have been a bit more detailed, but it didn't need it. The music is just great, with how it gives off such a moving and soothing feel. I have no idea why this was put in the Adventure - Point 'n Click genre. It's all the better it was not a Point 'n Click, as I am not good as those.

The sound effects were good and the little plopping sounds were just cute. It's great to understand how gravity works. Granted, I wouldn't know if this was accurate, but it's great to play. The best thing is probably how you have this light outline to show you where your ball is going to go. The controls aren't the best, but the overall appeal makes up for it.

[Totally Odd]

Well done, but weird!

Wow, I haven't played a lot of claymation games at all on this website. It was interesting because you just had no idea what was going to happen next. I guess it would have been better to be more comprehensible, but surreal stuff is great. The artwork and animation in this was very well done. It was pretty weird how everything went from right to left, instead of the opposite. That of course adds to the insane appeal of the game.

There was a good amount of detail put into all the clay images. I still really have no idea how I'm even supposed to play it. It doesn't help that I'm not that good at point 'n click adventures, but at least I got to see this amazing environment. It has an extremely appropriate title. I also wasn't expecting you to be able to go back to the menu with the buttons in the level.

[Checkpoint]

Really cool game!

I am glad I had a chance to play this because it was just so much fun! There was a seemingly infinite number of rooms to explore. The hardest is easily the one where you have to slide and then jump to the next platform. I guess I should be proud I managed to make it that far with only 34 deaths. The protagonist himself is so adorable. His big ol' scarf kind of reminds me of the doctor from "Doctor Who", even if it's not the same color.

The music is also nice and createst a good environment for you to get into. There are easy levels and hard levels, but so many different ways to play! It seems like it would be a great customizable game because there's so many unique ways for a level to be designed! I knew I got that medal for going to 30 rooms even though it didn't show up onscreen.

[The Infinite Ocean]

Awesome title

While I couldn't get that far, this is a very cool-looking game. Besides the fantastic graphics, the best part about it is probably the haunting music. It truly gives you the impression that you are off in some strange room and/or dimension with no way out. Everything is done so well with its color. The vastness of this room itself gives off the idea of infinity. There are so many things to look at and yet so few ways to truly help yourself.

The way the shadows are done gives it a real three-dimensional feel. You have no idea what is going on because everything is enclosed so well. I wish I could use some of the computer chips that are in those boxes. I'm sure everything will be more clear when you advance in the game. Thank you for making a really artsy submission.

[The Fog Fall 3]

A pretty nice game

I like this game because you have no idea what is going to happen next in the series. I guess I'm even worse at point 'n click games than I thought. I couldn't even get past the first screen and the inside of the car! I thought it was funny how he mentioned he did have enough gas to get there, but he was stopped anyway. The animation was really good in this. Apart from the fact that the colors vibrate so well, the lines are so well detailed.

It goes out of its way to create a really creepy atmosphere. There isn't any creepy music or anything, just the natural sounds you would expect. While not the most original of ideas, it is still executed well. People who are far better at point 'n click adventure than me should have a lot of fun with this. Thank you for such fine detail.

[Defend your Random Turret]

Mixed emotions again

This was a polarizing game to play for myself. One one hand, the graphics and everything was drawn in good detail. The part where this lost points was how it didn't have much to offer in terms of gameplay. I don't know, I just found it weird how I literally pointed to the enemies and shot them. I didn't even know what I was shooting at. Yes, it's a game and I shouldn't over-examine it, but it just seemed a bit too silly.

The music might also use some work. It seems like you definitley have potential for a better game, you just need to work on the gameplay. Maybe there could be a better use of perspective with the enemies. It certainly has its creative side. At least it was pretty concise with how you were able to pinpoint your targets.

[Stealing the Diamond]

Clever yarn

Dude, I can't believe I somehow missed this when I was going through the daily stuff. This is a sweet game and it's great to see you working again. The best part about it was probably that it was not too long, so it didn't get frustrating. All the graphics/animation are presented in a nice way too. It's fun to see how much personality you can put into stick figures. This even managed to have a style as original as your previous game.

While there could have been some more jokes, it was still a good play. I also have to give you credit for having a wide variety of ways to do things. Sometimes you clicked on things, other times you used the keyboard. It was great just to see how you could even die or lose. While not the best in terms of animation, still tons of fun.

Working again? I've been working on this since October :p I had more jokes in the game but I cut them because it was getting too big.
