Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[OvrShade]

Nice game

This game was really fun to play and yes, it helped that I was really good at it. While it was not the most detailed thing out there, it still worked because it really created a world of its own. I could fill the entire description by saying how to beat it, but that can be done in the walkthrough. I also love the stylistic music. It sounds like something from "The Pink Panther". Anyway, it was interesting to see how each new level had a new challenge that you learned to overcome.

Thank you for putting gray blocks that are neutral. I think that gray is in fact its own opposite which it why it works perfectly as a neutral color. It's also nice that there is a lot of open space for the player and his stick figures to go around and explore. I am surprised this game did not become more popular. Keep on making quality puzzle games like this.

[Portal: The Flash Version]

The portal!

When I first saw the name of this game, I thought it was going to be a simulation of the flash portal! This is in fact probably better than that anyway. It's funny to play a game that appeared in both the Action and Puzzles Games section. I can see why this is so popular, because it is extremely authentic. I have just seen this being demonstrated in popular culture so many times I know all about how to use it. It's great how you can truly create your own world with this game.

While not that detailed, it makes up for in terms of gameplay. It is a great way to express your creativity and it's fun just to see new elements show up on every level. It also helps that this is really easy for me as the instructions are basic. It's so fun and detailed it would make it on any gaming system. Thank you for making so many levels to show off your talent at flash games.

[Putt It In! Garden Park]

Very decent game

What really helps this game out is how great the graphics are. I seldom see CGI games on Newgrounds, but this is easily one of the most detailed out there! The really cool thing was how there was so much perspective in exactly how you hit the ball. That being said, it was still pretty hard for me to win at this. I guess I got a little cocky in the beginning. Minature golf has always been one of my favorite pastimes (as in the real game), and regular golf has always been super hard for me.

I like how there are a lot of obstacles, even though they seem simplistic. You seemed to really work to make it realistic, even with the stock sounds of the birds chirping. There is also a great amount of detail put into everything. While skirting a little onto the Uncanny Valley, it is still extremely admirable. Every fan of minature golf should enjoy playing this.

[Cloud Soldier]

Cloud?

When I first saw this title, I thought it was going to be a tribute to "Final Fantasy VII". Dang, that makes me feel as though I need to get out more. Anyway, this was a great game because it was extremely clearcut and you had to simply shoot as many times as you could. The confusing thing was when that red arrow came down. I thought it meant that an enemy was coming up, but it actually meant a mountain came up. Then when it went to the other side, it really did mean that!

The graphics in this were really good and I loved how there was no attempt to be flashy. It works with being realistic, except for that weird lightning weapon. In case anyone's wondering, when one row of planes come from the top single file, the next row come from the bottom single file. Not much of a story, but it doesn't need one. The simplistic style makes it addictive.

[The Sagittarian 2]

Nice quality

As a fan of the zombie genre, this was fairly entertaining to play. What I did not like about it was how it did not really have any action and was more like a sim dating game. I guess it's okay to make something different, but definitley not something I am used to. The game still works because it manages to have some really good detail. I think you can get into these character's heads easily given the conversations they have. It seems like you could just click over and over to get ahead.

Still, really anything done with zombies with fine artwork works for me. I liked the music being played and felt that it gave off a more realistic feeling. It seemed like you were being fairly creative with the different kinds of zombies you talked about. If I play this long enough, I know I will get those secret medals. When they're all secret, I'm bound to at least accidentally get one.

[ShellShock Live v1.0+]

Takes getting used to

I have played games like this before but never on this website. Or at least not ones on this website that are so authentic to what I played before! While it takes me awhile to get used to using games like this, it's still worth playing because of just how fun it is. I definitley had some problems as I kept getting blasted by the other guy. You really have to learn to get right to your enemy and get the right weapon! This could have used some more detail.

It does have the right idea of using the setting of a desert (at first, at least). It makes sense because you would not have to worry about people getting killed. Well, if I thought about the moral implications of this game, I would never even play. I can still appreciate you for trying to hook people up like this, even though it's not my cup of tea. It's been awhile since I played a guy from you, kchamp.

[Flamants Roses Puzzle]

What's left?

This game had a decent amount of effort put into it, but it had several main flaws. The biggest one was probably the fact that it had no sound. It was also weird with how the pictures did not just fit into the frames when they were supposed to. The coolest thing was that it was fairly easy. I liked how the pieces were arranged one on top of each other, so you could not see them all at first. It has been awhile since I have seen flamingos.

This seems to have potential to be a much better game. The design is good, but there are elements lacking in terms of detail. It just does not seem like anything that elaborate. You can still make something good when it's not elaborate, but there should be more features like sound effects. Maybe it gets harder as it goes on.

[Sushi Cat 2]

More of the same!

While this was not that different than the first one, I still have to love this because it was also just like the first one! Everything was done so well with detail put into everything. The best thing was that one powerup where you got to be able to just click on the food as you went down. I don't know what the gold does for you, it just looks cool. The music is also really sweet and simplistic. I think there was a new style used, with not everything in the level being on one screen.

It helps that I am a such cat lover, even though I have never had sushi. It's just precious to see that little cat get fatter as the game goes on. He just looks so happy in his roly-poly body. I am glad something this cute managed to win Daily Feature and had some popular names work on it. You guys all did a good job on this game.

[Invisible Ink]

Well done

I remember how I used to draw things in the air a little myself when I was little. I can not hate this game because everything is just done really well. It seems to be exactly what you would envision in a game that features invisible ink. I still can not help but say that I am just not good at this game at all and needed every hint just to get past the first level! At least you were nice enough to have different degrees of difficulty. The best way to figure this out is to probably get yourself a pen and paper and draw it out in real life.

There could have been some more perks like maybe some more sound. The artwork that you could see (with the pencil) was at least very well done. It was also nice to play a game that seemed to truly have originality. I suggest everyone to work on the easy levels at first. This is a game that really requires an active imagination.
