Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Friday: The Game]

So nice

I'm generally not a fan of these kinds of games, but this is an exception. It is possibly because her video has been seen so many times and yet everyone hates it! It's almost sad to realize people are like that. I thought the medals were only colors to make fun of how bland and uncreative Rebecca is. Here are the ways to get the medals I got.

BURN BABY BURN! - Go to the bathroom (by pressing Bathroom) and then type Shower. I have no idea why a shower would bring out fire, but it works to kill her.

OH POOP - Go the bathroom and type Poop.

OH POOP II - Go to the bathroom and press Toilet.

Yes, let's go with that...

[GHOST TANK]

Quite difficult

The graphics were really good in this but the main fault was that it really was pretty hard. I guess I should have tried going to Ghost Mode more. I really like the idea of a tank being destroyed and then coming back to destroy again! The music was pretty hardcore if a tiny bit irritating. The coolest thing was how big those missiles that I launched were! I was hoping they would cause more damage as they seemed as big as my tank itself!

The hardest thing was not hitting enemy fire. There's also a time limit to this game so don't think you can just bide your time. I prefer you get rid of the limit, but maybe I am just not that good at this game. The helicopters were the coolest enemies because they were so unpredictable with how they moved. Overall, it's a good game.

[Vector Wars]

It got addictive!

It takes awhile to warm up to you, but it really starts going great when you get into it. My favorite enemies would probably be the red guys who show their yellow stuff everywhere. There was really a good variety of enemies in this and you had no idea what was going to show up next. It got monotonous with too many of one kind, but still great. I was afraid you would only get one life but no, you are allowed to start when you died the first couple of times. The music was really sweet as well and had a great feeling of action to it.

My best advice is to keep clicking for more shooting. In fact, games are so complicated nowadays you pretty much always have to do that. It was cool when you got to get two blasters but you can not take the upgrades with you when you die. Those blue lined things looked like dolphins swimming towards you. It was cool to see your, uh, "experience" go up as you played.

[Upgrade Complete 2]

Now that's odd

This is one of the most complicated games I have ever come across! I kept thinking it would be like "Achievement Unlocked" where you just got upgrades and stuff like crazy. It was actually harder than I thought, because you had to earn most of these. It was interesting to see so many things arising like a game with dozens of medals would give you. I guess I am going to have to get more if I want sound and to hear Egoraptor's voice! It's a very surreal game.

Because of all the medals, it's the kind of game you can spend all day on. The coolest thing is how each of them are worth 5 pts so none of them seem harder than others. It was hard to understand where to go to get more money. You have to play that strange game which I am sure will get better with more upgrades. These are things to take note of when I buy my own laptop.

[Psychosomnium]

It's quite a strange game

The game itself is done pretty well, seeing as how the graphics and everything else really fit together well. The weird thing was that it was one of the most incomprehensible games I have ever played! It was like I was here trying to go somehwere but I can not advance. Then I suddenly control the guy on the other side and he dies easily too? And I thought "Inception" was a strange study of dreams. Still, these are dreams so they do not have to make sense.

Most of the stuff is good like the music and the sound effects. It's just interesting to wonder how you can possibly beat this game. I tried pressing "X" when confronted with a problem and it did not seem to work. As a person who loves surrealism, I simply have to give you credit for using that well here. Their heads looks like boxes.

[Hop And Pop]

Pretty good game

I like this game and not just because it was Easter-themed and I don't see a lot of those lately. It was interesting to just have this giant mass of eggs floating in the air! It's pretty crazy but it's fun because it gives you a lot of freedom to work with it. It seems like it would be too easy if you simply did it alone and could move, it would be too easy. It was a nice idea to have that other bunny. The only problems I have are that the music is a little bit annoying and so are the sound effects. It gets a bit repetitive, but still fun.

You really have to learn to manuever because you don't know what is going to come up next. Unpredictableness always makes for a challenging game. It was cool how most of the eggs had different designs. Anyone who's a fan of whose kinds of games (I don't know the name) should enjoy this. I like the CGI smiley face logo.

[Retro Resources]

A bit interesting

This was a pretty interesting game and it seemed to just be weak on the notion of being that enjoyable. I could not understand why I was not able to pick up everything in one run. Of course, the rules are the rules and this was at least something that was original. The music was fairly good and seemed to fit the technological setting. I also noticed that the map showed the arcade logo even though it was not on the actual screen. At least it makes things look organized.

The best way to avoid the turrets at first is to approach the stuff when they are offscreen. From my playing experience, they do not attack when they are not on screen. It's not that creative, but it is also pretty hard to find anything particularly bad about it. This game was fairly good overall. The gameplay does need improvement.

mjkgames responds:

Thanks for the detailed review. To your question about why you were not able to pick up all resources in one go - the vehicle has limited space which can be upgraded to allow larger cargo (but that obviously costs money, so you need to think what is efficient and what is not).

[Haunted Sprint]

Hard to hate

It's always nice to see the work by someone who has slightly fewer reviews than I have (I'm just kidding, dude). The best part of this was probably how you kept that sweet music. It wasn't one of my favorite, but I just seemed to really enjoy it while I was fighting the pumpkin. You have to know that the pumpkin is not the only enemy and you have to fight two ghosts afterwards. It was really funny to see the pumpkin slowly rot as I was killing him. I like how this guy just struts around so silly.

The controls are simple, but it does manage to have a lot of good music in it. It could be more detailed, but a brief Halloween game is exactly what you were trying to make here. Just make sure to look out when he's trying to go upward or downward. You can usually tell from the position he's in before going. I'm so glad I was able to get as far as the second boss (part).

[Monster Castle Defense]

Very cool game!

It's hard to find original defense games with all the ones out there. That being said, I am very proud to have this be added to the wide collection of original ones! The only problem is that it is a bit hard to understand. A little practice should do that well, though. The coolest thing about this are the graphics which just looks so good. It seems as good as anything that would be on an old system. I thought it was really funny how the princess ate the knights! Keep in mind that she can only do that for about three or four of them.

It's amazing how there is so much variety in the things that help you. As these are not towers, they put real character into how they attack the knights coming towards you. The music is great as well and I love how every character just moves around when nothing else is happening. Even the way the characters appear on screen is cool! I see you going many places with these designs.

[Toss Up]

He dives!

This was a bit interesting to play but the main fault was that there were no things for him to jump on except for the boxes you sent. It was a bit hard to understand at first because it seemed like he was trying to get to the box on the far end. Either he never would or it would come eventually. The graphics are alright, but they come off as being a little bland. When you play a game like this, you just usually expect more obstacles. It's really frustrating with how you have to time the departure of the boxes so well.

I guess I can learn to work with that, but it needs to have more going on. The music is alright, although it can get a bit boring after awhile. It was nice of you to put on that mute option. There's nothing really good or bad about this because it lacks detail but doesn't have a lot of bad stuff in it either. Try to work on shades too.
