Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Bees]

They are happy and so am I!

This was a very interesting game to play because it allowed you to have so much fun with it. The best levels are the ones where the bees multiple and you basically let the game play itself. I do wish that there could have been more variety. It's still interesting, because everything's presented in a very adorable manner. I love the cute little da-da sound you make when the bee touches the flower. You have to work hard to get all the points, though.

Sometimes I was unsure of how many I had to get in order to pass the level. At first I thought you had to pop every flower, but that did not seem to be the case later on. It's a pity this was not released in Spring. Of course, I suppose bees are fairly happy during the summer too. It was great how you ommitted the outlines in favor of really lush color.

[Lil' Jose's Build-a-Bot]

Decent for what it is

This was an interesting game to play because it took awhile to understand what was going on. As you didn't have any setup for what the robots looked like, you just had to go with similar colors. I thought it was funny how the purple robot I assembled was actually by accident. I had all pieces except for the head. The one that I picked didn't even look like a head at all. You really have to experiment with this game and see how accurate you are with the green lights.

It was funny to have a pokeball be one of the things that gave out robot parts. Yeah, it is similar to the stuff MindChamber has worked on. The music is pretty nice and it's great that you have such good mobility over your character and where you can go. It's the kind of thing you can spend hours with collecting medals. Lil Jose looks so stupid and eager.

Lol, thanks a lot, Ericho, glad you liked it :)

[Robotic Heart]

Not that good

At first I was disappointed because I thought it was going to be too easy. Now I realize that it actually is a lot harder than it looks. It doesn't help that the graphics are cheesy, but that was probably the whole point of this. Well, this is my first review for Robot Day 2011. I suggest that next time you put in a lot more detail into the characters and don't make it so easy to die. Those purple things reminded me of the "Shadow The Hedgehog" video game.

The music wasn't half bad, but did get a bit irritating. It's also annoying with how the background in each area is basically the same. At least you provided checkpoints and the first couple parts of it are easy enough. The robot's design itself isn't half bad. Just also try to make the robot smaller, so it doesn't clutter up the whole screen.

EventHorizon responds:

Thanks for your review and for your advice, you're right about some of the flaws of the game so I will try to improve.

[Aliens Attack RPG Action]

Kryponite?

I'm not a fan of RPG's, so I am glad that this turned out to be more of an action game. The best part was probably you could just roam everywhere and shoot at your enemies. The only problem is that it did get a bit redundant doing that over and over. Another flaw was how you could have made it so that the gun didn't have to be clicked so many times and you could just continually push it. I was amazed at how fast I ran out of ammunition.

The graphics, are, for the most part, really good. It's also good how fast paced everything is. It's also nice how there are different monsters for every level. There must have been some glitch, because I couldn't advance to the second level the first time I played this game. You could have also had a better name. The bosses aren't bad either.

[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.

[Global Guru]

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.
