Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stay Dead]

Take the advice

You really have to take the advice and go on the Low Quality setting. When I tried on "High" I could barely even tell what I was supposed to be looking at! This was still a fun game because it had a lot of interesting character designs. Some color effects seem off, but what I liked was how everything just seemed so original! The designs of the monsters are good even if the graphics are not the best. My biggest suggestion is that you give a wider range to fight.

Speaking of the range, it is cool how you can shoot some enemies before they come into your range. The sound effects are quite effective. For something about zombies, this actually wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I guess I am just so used to killing zombies it doesn't come off as frightening. Good overall.

[Bullet Overflow]

It is fast paced

While not the best of all the shooting games out there, this was still pretty fun. The best thing about it was how simple it was and how you just had to do more killing to go on. I was certain that headshots got a more assured victory but in some levels it seems like that was not helping much. I think it took four shots to gun down some of these guys. They must be wearing bullet-proof vests. The thing I really like is how all the bullets you fire actually make holes in glass when you shoot it.

It doesn't really mean much for the gameplay, but shows there was a lot of effort put into it. The graphics were decent, even if they were not the most flashy. Ditto the music. I am starting to get used to genres having three things listed in their description, even if they are not that different. There could have also been more detail in the enemies.

Challenging, but good

This is certainly a hard game because I had no idea you were not allowed to fall down and it kept going up! Even when you attacked enemies, you had to watch your step. If you went too far, you fell off while striking! That being said, this was still a great game because the graphics, style, and music are so wonderful! Every second there is something going on that the player has to be aware of. Thank you for making it easy to jump really high.

There were some guys who appeared on the way who looked like they might help you. I struck one of them and it says I won a medal, so I guess I'm supposed to kill them. It's an extremely complex platformer and I have trouble getting the larger piles of gold (or whatever it is). A complicated game is a compliment from me. The music also gets you revved up for more.

[Fly And Blast]

I am good at this

The only reason I like this so much is probably because I am just so good at it! I mean, what other game have I played where I can say that I got over half the medals in my first run? The thing I did not like about this game was how it seemed to be hard to collect the coins. I guess I am more used to them being attracted to me. The best thing about this was all of the cool weapons and how they just kept getting bigger and better! The gameplay is very straightforward as well.

The music was very epic as well and it was great to hear it go on. In case anyone's wondering, all the people featured on the medals are famous explorers. I knew there was an historical theme going on. I am glad there are only seven levels, because anything beyond that would be unplayable. I am surprised the rating is not higher.

[ASDF Hero]

Ooh, not bad

This game had fairly mediocre graphics, but the gameplay wasn't half bad. The best thing was probably how you could move around so freely. You did not have to find any of the enemies if you did not want to. Granted, I doubt that avoding them would give you a higher score than people who directly fight them. Anyway, the sounds were fairly good. There were a lot of newspaper articles and the first one says, "METRO CITY, Saturday - It looks like citizens of Metro City has one less problem to forget: Meet Captain Asdf, the city's latest crime-busting Superhero!". I'd tell more, but that would not be helpful.

The controls are easy to understand especially the fighting moves. It helps that I am a fast typist. I thought it was funny how I knocked out an old lady simply by pressing "D". This could use more detail and variety. It's hard to tell if it's worth recommending.

[Hunters - Stage 3]

Not as good as the second one

The coolest thing about this was that you had access to all those awesome weapons at the same time. The weirdest thing was how you kept attacking your enemies over and over. What did not make this as enjoyable was how it simply went on forever and was too hard. I guess I could always train for it. It's also that the environment was not as good, everything just seems too ordinary. I want a larger variety of enemies with cooler designs.

At this point, I really do not care about how the animation is not the best. What matters is that you still had a good variety of songs being played and the voice actors did a good job. A pity I did not finish the last one so I do not quite understand this. Of course, I rarely do that with games here anyway. The coolest weapon was the bazooka.

[Legend Of Rob Thundakill]

Good April Fool's Day joke

I could tell it was not going to be something that elaborate seeing as how it was submitted on this day. A lot of people seem to pull April Fool's Day pranks like this, such as DarkMazeStudios. Call me silly, but it's funny to just see everything blow up in such a cheesy way. I imagine that if you made an actual game like that, it would be good. I just like the guy's expression at the end where he looks stupid. Well, there's a couple of people who look stupid like that.

The music used is pretty cool and I liked how you detailed what parts of the game they were in. It's a cute little funny thing to play. I don't know if the game tells you, but the moving keys are "A" and "D". I did not see how this was a shooter game, but it was an AF game, after all. It's too bad this website did not have a theme for it this year.

[(4HS) Platformation]

Very interesting!

I am glad to have unearthed this interesting submission because it really is quite good. The best thing about it is that it really works well as a puzzle game. You have to look carefully in the lower hand corner to know what is going to come next. This is a game that is great for forming strategy. It might take a few deaths, but it is so unique it truly is worth it. It could have been a bit more detailed as it did not have a background, but still good.

The music is so mundane and it really contrasts with the more complicated gameplay. It was not too hard because you did not have to be on top of a platform to go in the door or get the key. That is quite a big key. This may be the first game I've played here where the description was three different game genres! It does well in every one of them.
