Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pyroscape 3]

Hard to hate

This was one of the goofiest games I have played on this website or at least the goofiest in a long time! It's hard to say that I recommend it because it's so amazingly ridiculous. It's certianly good for a quick laugh. The funniest part was definitley at the beginning when you guys were getting hit by the water bottles. The graphics were really cheesy in this but that added to the camp appeal. You also had a good amount of music for everything that was needed.

It is difficult to suggest you to do anything different, because it seems like you accomplished what you were trying to do. The most fun part was actually in the house, probably because it was the hardest! I was a bit annoyed with how you could not jump further on the buildings. Wouldn't the water and fire cancel each other out there? The acting is so amazingly goofy as well.

MonoFlauta responds:

Mmm, sorry, didn't undesrtand the problem with jumping and that, but great that you liked the room escape part, thanks for reviewing! :)

[The Floorsland 3]

Certainly playable

While not a great game, this was okay so it can't really go in the good or bad category. The biggest strength is probably how it has a simple enough premise to understand. It has most of what makes a platformer entertaining. Where you lost points was that this was not detailed very well and there was not much in the background or anything. It just seems like you could have put more design in everything. Simplicity can work, but there should also be some uniqueness.

That music is pretty popular as I recognized it. I guess from all the audio stuff I have reviewed, it would only make sense that I would find some stuff that I recognized! The medals in this game, that is their design was too simplistic. You could work by putting shading and shadows into the objects. Making something one color rarely impresses people.

telinc1 responds:

What part? The part with the score grabbers? They are enemis.
I can add shadows in The Floorsland Zero: Ancient Adventure, which will be after the game that I`m working on right now.

[Dino Run:Marathon Of Doom]

Run, dinosaur!

It is great to see the next entry in this cool dinosaur game series! What's really cool is that it can be fairly easy as you just have to keep on running most of the time. It still manages to be difficult, particularly with how the bigger dinosaurs get in your way. It's amazing how many shades you are able to show in something featuring pixels. The sounds are good, especially with how the dinosaur jumps up and down. It was fairly easy to collect the eggs (say, that reminds me, it's getting close to Easter).

I could not understand how it worked with the pterodactyls picking you up. It was a nice little thing anyway. The funniest part was how you could just eat the little dinosaurs that got in your way. It's just entertaining to see how nimble this little dinosaur happens to be. I never knew that running from a meteor crushing you could be so cute.

[TRON:Lightcycle Challenge]

Should please any fan

I am not a big fan of the "Tron" series and I saw the recent movie and thought it was alright. That did make me familiar with this kind of game so I knew what to expect. At first I thought you could only move on the lines, but I was just not paying attention. This is a game where you equally study your opponent and yourself. It's hard to get wrapped up in both as focusing on one distracts you. My gosh, the arcade game shown in this looked absolutely fantastic!

What was kind of disappointing was how the game itself was not like this. I seriously would have been satisfied if the intro was the only part of the submission. The sounds and effects seem pretty authentic. I like the floating quarter that you put into the floating coin slot. This game has a lot of good style to it. The best music was when you died.

[Hunters - Stage 5]

Quite good

The gameplay is as good as ever, but I still think you guys should work on graphics. I guess it's not a big deal because the game is still really on, but it could be an improvement. The best part was how this kept the same coolness of the other levels. It's weird to have different games released that are entire levels! Given the vastness of these things, it is of course understandable. The sound effects were pretty authentic and I loved the wide variety of music you used.

Rina-chan is as good as ever and the other voice cast did a good job too. I like how the instructions on jumping higher appear in the game. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, you have to jump and then jump towards a wall for a superjump. Everything is done in a fairly clear format. The story is alright too.

[Temple of Death]

Now that's hard

The weirdest thing about this was that it was so hard to get a single medal! Even when I had every single weapon available, I was still not out of the temple! Of course, I have to give this game credit because it really is a truly well done game, especially with the graphics. Everything just moves around in such a realistic way. Well, as realistic as zombies could be anyway. I thought the crocodile guy was a boss, but there are actually more than one of them at the same time! It was constant action.

The aerial shot was a little strange at times, but I got used to it. It was difficult to determine whether you were in a position whether you could advance or not. It's still great to play especially with all the guns and ammo lying around. It might be the first shooting game where all the zombies only had the upper halves of their bodies. The music was great as well and fit the style.

[Elephant Quest]

Too addictive!

Dude, this game was simply flat-out fantastic! It may in fact be the best game that jmtb02 has ever worked on! It also just goes to show that Jimp always has the best artistic design. It was hard to get some of those dang flying birds. If they worked you into a corner, you were pretty much doomed as they gathered together. This had some truly amazing graphics and it was better than any of the James The X Zebra series made by The-Super-Flash-Bros.

It's amazing how massive of a story you can make using simple elephants. It was also really sweet how the enemies' health just jumped out onto the screen. As you went by, there were so many of these cool effects going on everywhere. I am glad to play this great game and you deserve your Daily Feature. I thought there were different levels but it appeared to be just one massive level! The colors were great as well.

[Drop!]

Very nice little game

This game was fun to play because you manage to have a lot going on in it. The coolest part was probably the colors. It was a great representation of a truly futuristic world where everything was in the sky. I was only able to get my full speed when getting those pill powerups. The weirdest thing was probably the multi-armed robots that randomly appeared on the skyscrapers. For the record, they took off quite a bit of health from you. Avoid those the most importantly.

The controls were really easy to understand but still made for a complicated game. It's weird because these buildings are really just floating in mid air. I also loved the music which gives the game a good sense of zaniness. It looks like the character is wearing some form of strange helmet. At least some medals were easy.

[K.O.L.M.I.A.M.]

Weird but great!

This was an extremely innovative game because it just had so much going on! The graphics were downright fantastic and I wish I knew how you were able to make it like that. Sheesh, the effect of the screen jumping around seems to still be taking effect as I write this review! I also like the music and how it's as zany as the game is! The only problem I have is that I can simply not get pasted Level 5 and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. At least you were nice enough to give us a medal after completing each level.

It's amazing just to watch this little guy jump around and interact in his environment. I thought it unlikely he would gain a new skill in every level. It was good how there were different powers to gain in most of the levels as well. It's an amazing world you have created for yourself. It's the kind that makes the player want to advance.
