Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roadkill Revenge]

Revenge!

This was a very fun game to play because it was truly innovative! I love the idea of roadkill being rebuilt as a cyborg to cause destruction! I remember my days as a youth making fantasies of cars blowing up. Now that I can drive a car, I do not want that to happen and stuff. What's tricky about this game is that you have to make a car blow up and you can not simply cause damage to it. This reminded me of a sort of twisted version of "Frogger".

I certainly had trouble not getting smashed by all those cars in those games. This is the perfect way to get revenge by causing as much damage as possible! Each level has a great sense of variety and is simply fun to play. There's a lot of detail and such put into every car. It is pure mindless fun making it the perfect NG game!

[Trick Hoops Challenge]

Good basketball game!

I have played a little basketball in real life, but have never gone onto a team or anything. I really liked seeing the Gamesheep logo. I guess it's not much because you have seen it all the time, but at least I am being introduced to a new one. The best thing about this was how good the graphics were. It seemed to be a very realistic representation of what goes on in a game of basketball. The hoop itself was well designed in how it reflected itself when a ball went through.

I think there were some glitches in it. I did not see my score or the opponent's score go up after the initial times we scored. It's an easy game, but it's up to you to see if you're skilled enough to make a cool basket in. While not a masterpiece, this was geniunely good. The music is fairly nice and appropriate as well.

[Mama Fly]

Pretty standard game

This was a game that was out of the ordinary, mostly because it had the action of dropping larvae like that. The fly does not look like a female one, but what would I know about stuff like that? In case you do not know, I think you can use your larvae to kill the enemies. It got annoying with how there were so many of those guys around. The graphics were good, but I guess something like flies laying eggs is too mundane to make a great game. I mean, it was fairly realistic.

I suggest that you throw in some more powerups and perhaps more detail in the environment. It was kind of funny to look at the world from a fly's perspective. One tip is to simply keep pressing "S" to lay as many eggs as you can. Well, then again these aren't eggs, they're larvae. The sound was alright, too.

[Easter Rampage]

Not a bad game

This was interesting to play because it seemed to have really innovative graphics. The thing I did not like was how it was hard to build up rage. Depth perception is everything in this game and you have to make sure everything is on the same level. I guess looking at the shadows can help. Then again, I guess you do not need to go on "Rage" mode to advance. Another thing, don't go on the sides of the street to just catch the ones who wander there.

You have to keep on killing to not get a "Game Over". The best thing was the graphics and especially the design of the vehicle. When I first heard this title, I thought it was a part of those "Bunny Rampage" games. While those are probably better games, this is nice for a quick play. It's more challenging than you would think.

[The World's Hardest Game]

Fairly fun

I think this is probably a very hard game indeed, but I have perhaps played some that were worse. It is mostly because I was at least able to get through the first level without dying! The music was also suiting because it had a really macabre feel to it. Basically, you just have to really look for places where you know you are not doing to get hit. On the second level, the best thing to do is go down to the bottom and just wait when there is a free space. You have to do this one at a time (at least that's the way that works for me).

I like how it is not that detailed, but it does not need to be at all. It just goes to show that you can come up with a really complicated game by doing something simple. The coolest thing was that every level was a brand new challenge. I guess people would probably hate you if you ever put medals on it or something? It's still quite inventive.

[Iron Works]

Really enjoyable game!

I have played many games like this, but this is probably one of the most original. This is one where you really try to put a story on it as you see the guy putting the molten balls in. It sounds crazy to have a story in a game like this, but I think you did a pretty good job at it. The graphics are really impressive too, particularly with how you get to see the balls swirling around. At first I thought the balls he was making were the ones that the player was going to get. They are actually the ones that come up next on the screen.

You seem to really put depth into the game. You can see the molten balls as more three dimensional than most games. My tips are that you really have to look closely and make sure you get the part where it really counts. All the ones you make in a row on the top get rid of those below, in case anyone wanted to know that. It's fairly simple, but is well detailed.

[Brainz!]

Pretty basic stuff

Zombie shooting games will simply never get old and here is some great proof for it! Anyway, the thing I liked most about this was the designs of the zombies. They just looked so silly when their tall looking bodies just flopped to the ground. I guess that might sound morbid, but what else can you say in a zombie game? Its main flaw was that it did get repetitive with how you were just shooting the same zombies over and over. There could have also been some more detail on the environment.

This is still an all-around decent game. The music was nice and it did a fairly nice job of creating a scary tone, which is always good for a zombie game. The powerups and such are pretty standard. While not the most imaginative, it still has most of what you would want from a zombie game. There's a lot of space to move around and form strategy, too.

[Smiley Bounce]

Woah!

I had no idea that UGOPlayer appeared as a sponsor on this website! Anyway, as for this submission itself, it was quite alright. It seems like some of it was just too hard particularly the parts where one of the stars actually appeared right next to the spike! I think you have to collect every one on the screen to make more, but how do you do that? Oh well, I guess I was just unlucky. While not a great game, I admired this for its graphics.

Bouncing smileys are simply a classic on the Internet. I liked it how you could customize your own at the beginning and even randomize it. It's nice how there's a lot of depth put into everything like how the stars just twirl around. While the music wasn't the best, it seemed to be fairly appropriate for the game. I hope you change its course by clicking in different directions.

[From Beyond]

Simple, but nice

This was a great game to play because it was, well, really easy to get ahead. There's nothing nicer than playing God, even though this was a cosmic horror thing. It was so worth it to get to the end with the black hole that sucked up everything in sight! While not a long game, it works because it's just so fun to destroy things. The animation in this was just fantastic! Each and every individual thing on Earth has a different design and location!

While you guys were known for your flash submissions at first, it seems like you are only making games now. That's still great as these are all wonderfully done. You can pretty much fire your stuff anywhere at the planet as you can't lose this game! The music was also nice and did a good job of building tension and eerieness. It's great to watch those guys just bounce around after attacking them.

[Bio Assault]

Very nice game!

It helps that I am quite good at this and managed to get to the seventh level on my first try! What's also great is that this game has very impressive original designs. My only complaint is that the controls with the mouse do seem to get a bit difficult. The music and everything else was very well done. My biggest word of advice is to simply work all around the gunfire when the boss is there. Even if you simply randomly fire throughout that part, chances are you will get some good hits in.

Each enemy seemed to have a very unique attack style to it as well. It was fairly hard with how you did not keep the powerups that you got. At least you were able to keep the upgrades consistent. It took me awhile to notice that you were even suppose to collect those blue dots the enemies left behind. The music is stylistic as well.
