Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mystery of Willow Mannor]

Too many words!

It was nice of you to be able to move past the words without reading them. The thing I did not like about this was how there were just too many words! It seems like this game was a lot more cutscene than it was actually gameplay! Now, it does have its good points, like how its easy to get the medals. In fact, I think that you get a medal for any ending you get. In terms of how you get them, just play the game until you win or lose.

The next time you play, just do not do what you did last time to get the ending. What is good are the graphics. The detail in this is wonderfully done and I really liked the shading that was done in everything. There could have been some more sound as it didn't seem to create much of an atmosphere. Well, I guess I can't expect the best game to be made in 72 hours.

Too many words? This is an interactive visual choose your own adventure novel. It is PURELY words. But I agree with you that it has very nice art. PooPoothegorilla did a very good job, and spent a long time on it.

[Cripple Cannon]

Don't call them cripples

This was fairly enjoyable and the only thing I really did not like was how this game was so hard! The funniest thing is that it is rather humorous to see those old people get killed. Hey, it's a lot better than the Segway game where you deliberatedly beat up old people. I love how silly they look as they fly through the air. Strategy is everything in this game and it's also great how so many people contributed to this. The sounds are great, especially the bouncing ones.

It's the best game in the series I've played so far, even if it is only my second one. I like how the music is so cheery. Hey, I have played a ton of games that had a far darker theme. It's interesting how JAZZA, the artist, received top billing for this. I was a bit confused as to how I launched it, but I just had to press the "Go" button.

[Catch 51]

Ahh...

Well, I had no idea that this website was working on a fourth NG Game Jam. I can tell this was not made in the longest time, but it's not terrible at least. It was interesting to see those different designs for the companion cubes and stuff. It's too bad every single medal is secret because you are discouraged to tell where they are in your comments. Granted, I have no idea how to get any of the medals anyway. At least the game is somewhat simple to understand.

I really have no idea how to win this game. I am doing exactly what the instructions tell me to do as I go down to the fish and keep pressing the mouse button. When the amount of tension I have is full, nothing happens. The fish or cube just go away. The designs are at least good and I can tell Lilg worked on this.

[STORAGE]

A bit entertaining

I liked this game if only because the graphics were so good! It is CGI graphics like this that show you how far we have come in terms of Flash Player. I am not even sure if those are even made with Flash Player. The gameplay was fairly simple, but the thing I did not like was how there was no music. I can always just listen to music on another page which I am actually doing right now. I know it was not intended, but it was pretty funny to see my character just move along.

I liked how you could move the crates even when they were already in a green area. That allows other crates to be moved nearby. There could also be a background instead of the blue color (well, the coloring there is still nice). It doesn't take a complicated game to play it enjoyable. Of course, it gets more complicated as it goes on.

[Mission to Neptune]

Nice little game

I could have sworn there was some glitch in this because I think I touched the symbol and nothing happened. At least when I tried the second time I got it on the very first jump I made. I am starting to recognize all of your games now. The thing I did not like was how it was a bit bland in terms of the gameplay. While not that well detailed, it's still something good for a quick play. It was really cool how the gravity worked.

This just seemed to have a very carefree tone to it given how the guy just jumped around. I guess he's not going to Pluto as that's no longer a planet. The graphics are standard and they fit the gameplay well. Nothing happens if you happen to touch the cage at any time at all. This should all the fans of your games.

[bloXplatter]

FANTASTIC!

I am so thankful to be introduced to you on this website as this is one of the best games I have ever played here! Every single second there is something cool going on. I love how the blocks make those cute little sounds when they hit. I even managed to get nineteen medals the first time I played it! Speaking of medals, there appeared to be something wrong with them as I was missing them last night and this morning. By getting them here, they are all restored!

My only suggestion would be to throw in some powerups coming from the blocks. It was amazing how each color and every tint of color had a unique style to it. You knows, I might even get every single medal as this game is addictive. The only reason I even stopped was because I died. Thank you for creating such a magnificent masterpiece!

ThinXIII responds:

Wow thank you so much for the awesome review and I'm glad you found the game addictive. I really hope to do better with other games that I'll release. :)

[NG Flagging Guide 2]

What a nice guide

Now, I myself have been around here a long time so I am familiar with most of this stuff. Of course, this was intended to be for people who had just come onto the website. It is always good to be helping people like that. I even think this is the first time I knew what that yellow "X" at the side of the review meant! I don't think I've even noticed it before! Of course, even though I am a prolific reviewer, I actually don't rate other reviews often.

Yeah, it seems kind of inconsiderate now that I mention it. The music used in this was pretty nice as well. When I saw the first screen, it reminded me of my favorite submission of all time, "The Scale Of The Universe". While you are not one of my favorite people here, you have still made something nice. Even I managed to learn something from it.

Little-Renastair responds:

Thanks.

[Fish Need Water]

Decent little game

I can not say this game is really that good or bad because I was not able to understand it. Everything was fine on the first level. On the second level, however, I was not sure how I was supposed to play. I did not see the little brown ball that I was supposed to attach the red line to. In fact, I didn't see anything that I could attach the red line too. At least the graphics are nice, particularly with how the fish is animated.

I guess the music was also pretty pleasant, particulary how it was just that bubbly sound. It got a bit annoying, but still there have been a lot worse. The green fish itself has such a goofy appearance it contrasts well with the rest of the game. At least this managed to get a really high score. Anything with this many levels is something you spent a lot of time on.

[I Have 1 Day]

Very interesting

I guess I am starting to be more of a fan of point and click adventures given as how people keep making good ones! The coolest thing about this was that it was probably easy for me to understand. You get a game over if you try to go through the gate your first day, so don't make that mistake. First, examine the chamber pot which has water in it. Grab the mop and put it in the water. Touch the lower part of the brick wall and you'll be able to loosen it.

Then apply the wet mop to the dirt to loosen it where it will take 1 hour for you to go through. Pick up the scarecrow and the planting field to get an onion. That was as far as I got and I am not sure how to replay the game. The intro was cool and it makes you realize how lucky we are to have free games online. I liked how organized everything here was too.
