Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jumping 4d Stars]

Why does it go like that?

This was a decent attempt at a game but the main flaw is that you just have no control over the ball. It always leans to the side no matter what you do. I guess that's what makes it challenging, but it can still be frustrating. I should have read the author comments because I thought those black things led to a portal or something. It's not a bad game because it does have most of what makes a game good. It's fairly original, even though there is not much detail.

Next time, try to put some music to it or sound effects. That is always a plus when dealing with submission of any kind. The artwork that is shown is actually pretty good for what it is. I guess I just like to see the little ball move as it jumps through the air. It's the little things like that that do not make it terrible.

[A One Level Game]

Hard indeed

It seems like people have made a lot of games that are made to just be really hard with a single level. I think there was one called "The Hardest Game Ever" or something like that. The coolest part of this was the main character. It's nice to look at how flashy he looks. When I was first introduced to this game, I thought it was going to feature him in a maze. You don't really go anywhere as you're in the same spot the whole time and the game just kind of plays to you.

The biggest reason for me to keep playing this game is to listen to the rest of the music. While not much in terms of background, that song was fairly good. I found it as frustrating as everyone else, but it was still well done! I mean, I don't think it's that unfair to you for something you would expect from a one level game. Congradulations to whoever did beat this.

[Bieber Metamorph]

He looks stupid

The funniest thing about this was probably how Justin Bieber looked in the cutscenes. I had no idea he was an old man, I thought he was a robot! It took me awhile to understand that you had to lure the girls into the van. It was not enough to just touch them and show those hearts flying around. The graphics are really cool and I like how everything just seems so slick. It's not a game that shows anything out of the ordinary, but it's still playable.

I tried to watch the first video I was supposed to and the screen froze on me. It's not a difficult game, so I can always try again. This was certianly an original idea in making fun of Justin Bieber. He's been mocked so many times you would think we'd have run out of ways to make fun of him! It's great to see BanglaBoy96 in a game with medals, even if he didn't make it.

[Hunters - Stage 6]

Great to see the interaction

It's weird how this managed to get Daily Feature when it currently has a rating of only 3.49. Still, it is a new part in this series. I did not find this as enjoyable as some entries, because I am too used to fighting robots which are easier to kill. It was interesting to see the other character come with you. I have at least been following this series as long as it's been popular, so it's great to see it concluded. I had no idea Kirbopher was going to be a voice in this!

Speaking of voices, I was also really impressed by the number of voice actors not to mention songs. I think the animation may in fact be a little better than the previous entries. It still doesn't look great, but it's not terrible either. The cutscenes seem to really play off the character's emotions well too. I have gotten used to the controls.

[Running Ink]

I love how he splats

The most enjoyable thing about this was how you really took advantage of the fact that the character left streak marks behind. It's weird to consider something like this a sport, but I guess it is. It seems like you're trying to have some deep meaning with how the character is completely dark. The tone of the game is actually more lighthearted than you think. Well, except for how he just blows up when he lists a fall too fast. Few games punish you for jumping that hard.

When the third level comes around, you really take note of this as a maze game. I like the little grunts the character makes as he goes along. You have to keep up with how fast paced it is, as I got through the second level in only seven seconds! The background makes it seem like it takes place on construction paper. Thank you for putting the controls in the author comments.

[Ge.ne.sis]

Excellent!

I'm not really a fan of RPGs, but this turned out to be an exception! I think I am slowly getting used to RPGs that work like this. The best thing about this was simply how amazing the graphics turned out to be! Every second, you can see the characters slowly moving their bodies around just floating and waiting. The thing that you control has a great and original design as well. It reminds me of the submission I just reviewed, which was also about dreams.

The idea of having an eternal dream is a very interesting one. The effects were great, particularly with how it showed the places the person was standing or where they were to attack. Even the backgrounds are in great detail. They appear to be some weird glaciers now that I look at them. It's a little confusing, but definitley worth checking out.

[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.
